Wow, why aren't there more novels like this? It was incredibly adorable, beyond words to express. I fell in love with the story from the start. The protagonist, or shou, was just too precious; I wished I could bring him home and nurture him, he was that charming. Initially innocent, his intelligence shone through as he learned quickly.
The male lead (ML) also captured my heart - not your typical overbearing type, but a likable and friendly character. Their dynamic together was delightful to read.
I particularly enjoyed the scenes where our little tree character would crouch by a tree, dreaming of digging a hole to replant himself, it was such an endearing touch.
I wholeheartedly recommend this novel – every page had me grinning with joy.
