   It's a great read! The male and female leads are both very well-developed. Several parts of the story brought tears to my eyes, especially the female lead. Thankfully, it has a happy ending. Moreover, the author's writing is very meticulous, with many contents having their sources indicated in the author's notes, which I really appreciate.

   This book needs no introduction. Originally titled "Marrying a Monk," what was the author thinking when he wrote such a brilliant book? Even those who are meticulous about historical details can enjoy it.

   The female lead is cunning and ambitious, while the male lead is initially a crazy, eccentric man who later becomes obsessed with love. It's quite pretty.

   The first nine self-rescue stories are incredibly well-written and worth reading. The later part, where she leaves with the male lead, becomes a bit bland, but I've still included it because the earlier parts are so captivating. You can stop reading after you finish the self-rescue section.
