[Reader’s Note]
I’m not good at writing blurbs. If you’re interested, please read the story.
This is a fictional dynasty, so please don’t overanalyze the historical details.
The heroine grows over the course of the story, and the hero isn’t all-powerful either. Please keep that in mind.
The gossip may not be sweet, and the story may not be to everyone’s taste. Please be kind, everyone. If you don’t like it, just leave instead of making things hard for yourself. (What the author really means is, don’t make things hard for me, sob ಥ_ಥ)
It's a good book with a smooth plot and suspense.
