    Curator note

    The male lead is more well-developed than the female lead, who is incredibly pitiful, a bit dim-witted, and caught in a cycle of helplessness. Honestly, the male and female leads are the most compatible throughout the entire book, not in a sarcastic way. However, starting from the postpartum storyline, it's like the author was under a spell. The beginning is very good, with a sense of taboo, but without any fighting or scheming. Perhaps the main heroine is too strong. It's essentially a 1v1 pure love story. I'd give the earlier episodes four stars.
