Thank you for your contribution, but...

...in the future, when adding a work please either use the ATT Page Creator (linked in the menu to the left, under "Troping Utilities") or manually use the Works Page template. It'll save you a lot of effort and make your page look like all the other works pages on the wiki. The page you created is essentially useless and unfindable except for a search specifically on its name.

Second, "WN" is not a proper or useful media type here. "Web Novel" would be the preferred type, but it's not needed. Unless there is a collision with another page of the same name, it's not necessary to have a media type in the page name.

Third, and possibly most importantly, we are about tropes and how they function in works. We are not about cataloging the mere existence of works. Don't just dump three sentences and bail. Actually take the time to list at least a few tropes that you've noticed while reading the story. You get a pass this time for being new, uninformed, or both -- but we'll be watching your future contributions, if any.

So, three sentences is not a sufficient works page. Presumably because you're creating this page you've actually, you know, read the story in question. Tell something more -- you know, like a bit more about the plot. Whyinhell would I want to read this? What you posted does absolutely nothing to convince me it's worth my time.  At the very least copy relevant text from Wikipedia's article on the work, if you can't be bothered to write more than a sentence in your own words.

Final word of advice for you: the less work an admin or another user has to do to make your page actually useful and informative, the more friends you'll earn here, and the less likely your contribution will be deleted as effectively vandalism. Please keep this in mind when you create your next page. And I suggest you review the following pages:

Now, please go take a look at how I've re-edited your new page (which has been moved here) to make it fit with our style, usage and other requirements.
