Hii, Ruka here, I decided to pick up this one because I quite like this author and their story. But, since I’m currently still have an ongoing novel, After Returning to My Biological Family, I Was Arranged to Marry, by the same author, this one will be updated weekly. Thank you for your understanding, I hope you enjoy this story.
