**Core setting of the novel:**
* **Heroine: Shen Qingyi** - Entered the palace at the age of 16. She looks cute and innocent, her eyes are as clear and agile as a deer, but she is smart and transparent on the inside, and has her own set of wisdom in life. He doesn't take the initiative to harm others, but he is good at protecting himself and fighting back. Coming from a declining but noble scholarly family, he is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially good calligraphy and exquisite tea ceremony. When she first entered the palace, she just wanted to live a stable life, but because of her unique temperament and unintentional talent, she attracted the attention of the emperor, and she was gradually involved in the center of the whirlpool.
* **Male Protagonist: Xiao Chengji** - A young and promising emperor (approximately 25-28 years old), who has just ascended the throne and is working hard to govern. He has a cold and majestic appearance and a deep mind. The harem was more of a political balance for him. Tired of the scheming and rigid flattery of the harem. He is attracted by Shen Qingyi's "truth" and "wisdom", and once identified, he will give him extreme preference and protection. He is a "wife doting maniac" character.
* **Core style:** Palace battle strategy + ultimate sweet pet + heroine's growth + the emperor's exclusive love. The plot of palace fighting serves the emotional line and the heroine's growth line, avoiding being too dark and bloody. The focus is on "fighting of wits" and "breaking the situation", as well as how the emperor "protects his wife."
