Thank you so much.” Can I finally escape the babysitting from my childhood friend? After dancing with the Crown Prince with such joy… On the next day, it was reported that the walls of the palace were shattered by powerful mana. Should I just give up on my life?

According to Ridi, this novel came out fairly recently, on August 12, 2021. I haven't gotten the chance to read this novel yet since I'm reading something else right now, but here's what I was able to collect from the internet and from skimming through the first volume. Ridi Rating. 3.9/5.0 Content. 5 volumes Main story - 147 chapters Side story - 6 chapters Author. 엘림 Ellim Tags. #lovetriangle #firstlove #friends>lovers #innocentML #misunderstanding #royalty #sweetplot #supernatural #genius #naiveML #puppy-likeML #straightfowardFL #grouchyFL #coldFL #proudFL #girlcrush #4thdimensionalML #romanticcomedy Leads. FL: Skyla Kaeirune - Able to read the minds of others - Sick of everything ML: Randsier Soli - Grand Mage - Troublemaker - Puppy-like ML Reviews + My Input. Many reviews say the ML is free-spirited, naive, and child-like, so the FL takes care of the messes he leaves behind. He creates a LOT of trouble for her, and mind you, they're all adults. He doesn't listen to her but it's hard to be mad at him since he's super innocent, pure, and adorable. The ML tries his best in his own way but the FL always isn't feeling it. While skimming around the first volume, I completely agree with the reviews and I could understand the FL's cold personality towards the ML because he's such a troublemaker. But I mean, he's too cute of a person to be mad at. As you can tell from the cover and the tags, the FL has an attitude towards the ML, but ML has 0 observational skills. Many consider this novel as more of a childcare plot because the FL takes so much care of the ML. I could see where they got that from, but not necessarily true. Many agreed the plot/the novel itself is good, but the FL has a frustrating personality. It seems there are multiple instances that she made the readers feel frustrated, but the frustration isn't to the point of contemplating on dropping the novel. The sweet ML and the comedy make up for it; it's a good balance. At the beginning of the novel, the FL found the ML tiresome and struggled with a scandal between them (since they are adults and always hanging out together.. well the ML hangs around the FL), but of course, like how all novels are she ends up liking him (per se the reviews). Love triangle occurs between, I believe, the FL, the ML, and the crown prince. The FL faints one time upon looking at the crown prince's face because he was too handsome. Read this when.. You feel like wanting to read a light, fluffy novel that centralizes the ML and the FL's relationship. Not many major incidents occur around the two to distract that goal, so it'll be easy to put the novel down to pick it up later. Oh, and the novel is also quite comical, so if you want a romantic novel with laughs, this is for you.
