   It's good. Before watching, I thought it would be a story of a strong woman and a weak man, but I didn't expect the female lead to genuinely like the male lead. The male lead is also lying low, so he's not weak at all. However, this male lead is also a loyal dog (although the male lead is the female lead's prisoner, for some reason, the female lead is slightly at a disadvantage. Maybe it's because the female lead was initially a timid and cowardly character who didn't cause trouble, and she only went all out for the male lead).

   The female lead has a free-flowing mind and does whatever comes to mind; she's a clever little devil. The male lead is even more eccentric, constantly provoking her. It's a very enjoyable sweet romance novel.

    It's a good read, a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, and very well written. The male lead's conquest storyline is almost as long as the romance. I finished it in one go during finals month, which speaks volumes about how good it is.
