   Great! The male lead's cunning is spot-on, and his growth is logically consistent. The female lead is even better; she skillfully turns things that would harm her into things that benefit her. While she doesn't use many technical or profound psychological terms, her descriptions of professional cases are grounded and concrete. What I hate most in this type of romance novel is things like imprisonment (here it's only briefly depicted as house arrest, so if you don't like it, don't read it) and those boring tropes like her escaping, him chasing, and then imprisoning her again—none of that is there. And besides the plot, it's also very engaging. 🐰

   Top-tier, the best of the second half of 2025. The smut is quite good. The female lead's career development isn't weak, but it's not particularly groundbreaking either; even so, it easily surpasses many similar novels. The male supporting characters are all well-developed; although they all share some similarities with the male lead, they each have their own unique flavor.
