   This is supposed to be an ensemble piece, and none of the supporting characters are pushovers. There's the story of someone who was kidnapped by human traffickers and then sold to the Japanese; the husband who killed my entire family and then spent thirty years as an undercover agent, wiping out his entire family; the mother who was once the head maid of a landlord's daughter and left me a contingency plan before she died—and so on. One hundred chapters contain the content of a thousand chapters in other works.

   It's really good! I don't usually like historical fiction, but this one really resonated with me. Because it's a female-disguised-as-male story, the female lead is very outgoing and masculine, which is great. Many stories use the female lead's disguise as a man, but they're often awkward and indecisive, making it obvious something's wrong. I don't like many female-disguised-as-male stories, and I can't say I've truly loved them, but this one really touched me. If you like female-disguised-as-male stories, give it a try!!! The female lead is a kind doctor who won't meddle in things she shouldn't; she's not a saint, and she's very humorous. She's sharp-tongued and never lets herself get hurt. There are many scenes where the female lead confronts people, which is very satisfying to read. The female lead rises through the ranks, and although it's a historical story, she knows how to seize opportunities to improve her life. Those who like strong female leads should also check it out. I'm now seeing the male lead develop feelings for the female lead without realizing it, and the fact that she's disguised as his brother-in-law—this sense of transgression is really exciting!! Fans of taboo literature should check this out!
