   Reader note

   This book, YYDS, completely captivated me with the female lead's charm. It's also because of this book that I really wanted to read a period novel where the protagonist doesn't have children. If you know of any, please recommend it. After reading this book, I feel like I'll be in a reading slump for a long time. Many years ago, I finished a novel and was in a reading slump for two months. I couldn't read anything else and couldn't find a replacement. This book gives me that same feeling right now. I'm really scrutinizing every word, reading it bit by bit, not wanting to miss a single detail.

    Nobody recommended this one, so I'm recommending it. Don't be misled by the title into thinking it's a lowbrow novel; the writing style is good, and it gets better as it goes on. The two first meet because the female lead wants to escape her messy family and schemes against the male lead. However, the male lead actually has feelings for the female lead, but he feels resentful for being used at the beginning. After their marriage, they face numerous conflicts, but after separating for several years, their two loving hearts allow them to accept each other again.
