   If you disregard moral values, it's absolutely amazing. I haven't read a book this good from beginning to end in a long time. I stayed up all night to finish it. The whole thing was fast-paced and incredibly dramatic, it was so enjoyable. The more I watched, the more heartbroken I felt for the female lead. I even started to wonder if my values ​​were warped. [Crying emoji] The male lead was utterly disgusting at the end, but his character was still quite complete and well-developed, with some charming moments, which is rare. Only the second male lead was someone I hated from beginning to end. I initially read this novel as a romance novel, but it unexpectedly took a dramatic turn towards morality and the rule of law. I was gripped by the tension throughout, finding it extremely painful. However, it was so melodramatic and dramatic that every chapter kept my heart pounding. By the way, as expected of a novel from seven years ago, the comments section is incredibly hostile towards the female lead. The comments have only improved in recent years.

    The pacing is superb; after finishing it, I've decided to follow the author. Many people have already discussed Huiqing, but I want to talk about the male characters. Because this is a realistic, darkly humorous novel, the author not only glorifies them but also doesn't shy away from depicting their flaws. Therefore, in some ways, the plot becomes more compelling. When you stop having any moral illusions about the characters, many scenes become interesting, or even "satisfying." This book truly succeeds in writing a good story; from an omniscient perspective, every character is vividly portrayed.
