   I rarely find a main character pairing like this that's so well-developed that I could finish reading it [biting handkerchief]. Having such a passionate, straightforward, resilient, and adorable girl who always firmly chooses you is irresistible [please]. And both the male and female leads are really great (by the way, it's really hot, haha, the first time I've seen such a "unique" male lead [doge], but he really matches the girl perfectly!). The author's writing is also excellent, especially the scene descriptions and transitions, which are very vivid! It's like something out of a big movie [starry eyes]. The girls in the story are all very beautiful, which makes me feel reassured. As for the content, the background and plot development seem to require a lot of effort to connect and arrange. There were some parts that I didn't quite understand during my first read, but overall it was easy to read, especially with the sweet romance between the two leads, it was very satisfying [continuing][food]. And this extra chapter completely made up for all my regrets! [Crying] The couple is a match made in heaven! May they be happy forever! [Sprinkling flowers]

    I'm including this because I remember really liking this series back then and being drawn in by the male lead's truly ruthless villainous character. It's been so long that I don't remember the plot much, but the repeated descriptions of "butterfly bones" might have been off-putting (maybe it's just me, I read it all in one go, so it might seem a bit prominent). But if you're looking for something to read and want to try this series, you can give it a try; it's quite enjoyable. The ending is a happy ending for the young couple [orange candy].
