Sandalwood, the daughter of a tofu seller, was forced to enter the palace at the age of thirteen. She is clumsy and knows nothing except crying. I cry when I'm scolded, I cry when I'm stared at, I cry when I'm scared, I cry when I'm happy.
But as she cried, Concubine Shu began to protect her, concubines began to snatch her away, the Emperor began to invite her to tea, the hard-spoken and soft-hearted Princess Anqing secretly stuffed her candied fruit, the cold-hearted Third Prince took the sweet-scented osmanthus candy from her window sill, Aunt Rong scolded her while teaching her what she had learned throughout her life, and the Queen Mother loved her as if she were her own granddaughter.
She's not the smartest, not the most capable, or even the prettiest. But she is the "most real thing" in this deep palace.
After the eldest prince forced her into the palace, Sandalwood opened her arms in front of the princess and was named a seventh-grade female official. She is still the same Sandalwood who loves to cry, but after she finishes crying, she will still do what needs to be done.

I was attracted after reading the first chapter. The picture is very strong. A little girl in her teens was clumsy as a palace maid, but she ended up being pampered by the emperor and the noble concubine. The subject matter is novel and very healing! [Sending Hearts]
