Reader comments
This book is very interesting. It gave me a deeper understanding of the harem system and the status of women in ancient China by telling the stories of the wisdom of concubines in the past dynasties. When the author Shu Xiang describes the wisdom of the concubines, his writing style is delicate and the plot is vivid, making me feel like I am in an ancient palace. Moreover, I also learned a lot of wisdom about how to deal with people from these stories, which also inspired me to start my own business. All in all, this is a great book worth reading!
