For those who are interested, here is the link to the English translation for the C-novel of this drama:

Thank you! I read it before watching the drama as I find it very helpful in understanding the story. 

Is there anyway to download it as a complete file to read on a tablet?

@amaginon I read it in the browser on my ipad  with no problems.
