    I stayed up all night to finish reading the entire series, and it deeply moved me. The female protagonist is just a hardworking office worker who is forced into a circle that doesn't belong to her simply because of a job. She has to worry about her family's illness and living expenses while dealing with the difficulties and threats from various forces; every step she takes is like walking on thin ice. The story is very realistic, revealing the helplessness and struggle of ordinary people in a game of huge interests, with both tense battles of wits and moments of warmth.
