   Reader note

   It's very good-looking, but there is no male protagonist. The heroine and the monk are more soul resonance, group portraits, and every character in the book is very three-dimensional and has its own story line and side story. It is not a true time travel, and the foreshadowing is written down later. The subsequent big twist is really interesting! The heroine has always been very strategic, the protector is also strong, and the author's writing style is also very good!
