    The female lead in this book is so adorable! She's cute with her cool demeanor. She was sent to a research institute for human experimentation when she was very young, so she's quite oblivious to romance because no one taught her. She's incredibly skilled at fighting and very intelligent. There's no angst; when the fake heiress tries to manipulate her, she directly and bluntly confronts her.
