   The plot is very good, brothers and friends all have evil intentions, each has his own agenda, and tries to trick his brothers. The pace is tight, and while others can write a lot of chapters, here it is basically completed in one or two chapters. The heroine conquered me with her character. The interaction is awesome.

   Written from the perspective of ordinary people, it is very immersive and intimate. He also adds details and settings, and basically all the foreshadowings are explained. I like this kind of logical author. The group portraits are also well written. They are not stereotyped supporting characters. Everyone has their own special features and is the protagonist of their own world.
