This story marked the end of the 4 female constable series. Like the previous books, I also enjoy this story very much. Out of so many characters, I love ML the most. He's surely one of my favorite ML all times.Spoiler
ML was actually a cold and indifferent guy like most of ML from another ancient time novel but the reason why I love him so much was because the way he treated MC.
He treated MC like equal. Even though he worried about her and didn't want her to get hurt, he still let her do what she wanted. He also respected her opinions and didn't look down on her although she was a woman.
When he secretly chased her, he didn't directly snatched her from her fiance even though he could do it with his status. Instead, he took his time to make MC aware of him by letting her work at his side. He waited until MC had a high favorability towards him to make a move. The blunder of MC's fiance also helped him winning MC's heart (oh, poor the ex fiance).
[collapse]Meanwhile, the plot actually took place after the salt taxes case resolve. It's different from the previous 3 books where the story revolved around the salt taxes case. MC was also faced with the new case but unfortunately, the case was resolved without any detail by ML. Well, it's understandable since this book focused more on ML and MC's relationship.As for the ending, I think it's a bit rushed and there were several things left unexplained. If the author wanted to make the story more compact, he/she should ended it after MC's wedding and maybe added a few extras without dragging it for 10++ chapters more.
