This book made me feel the complexity of human nature and the cruelty of court struggle. The characters in the book do whatever it takes to fight for power and love, which is thought-provoking. At the same time, I also felt sorry for the changer's experience. Her misfortune stemmed from jealousy and fighting. This makes me cherish the people around me more and stay away from right and wrong. I hope my children can understand these principles in the future.
