I, Shen Fuzhao, was deposed.
When the imperial edict came down, everyone in the palace said that I should die.
But I picked up an old account book next to the abandoned well in the cold palace, and I became the owner of a bookstore from then on.
The books here don't sell romance, they only sell a way to survive.
The concubine who was said to have "demon eyes" came to borrow a book, and I asked her to exchange it for "what she saw with her own eyes."
The little eunuch who had been swallowed up by Wuchenwu came to borrow a book, and I tore off the harmful "rotation card" for him.
The first store rule I wrote down: Anyone who uses rules to harm others must leave evidence.
Soon, the dilapidated threshold of the cold palace was crossed.
Until the emperor came in person and opened my account book, he only saw a blank.
He asked me: Does the book not recognize the imperial edict?
I answered: Yes, it just accepts its fate.
Key points
1. All of them evil? No, everyone "has a story": the crazy concubine, the mute servant, the sealed chambermaid, the nameless palace maid, every seemingly humble role is a hidden chain of evidence.
2. Constant reversals and intensive feelings of excitement: You think it's supernatural, but it's actually the human heart; you think it's an unsolved case, but it's actually the evil of the system. There is a small climax every two or three chapters, revealing an old library's "rules and traps".
3. Protagonist Shen Fuzhao: calm, rational and strong. Don't be a love brain, just be a terminator of "rules". Her battle is not between the harem but between pen and paper.
4. It is not a one-person battle: This is an epic story of a "harem girl group" from being rescued to saving themselves. See how they change from registered people to people who can write their own rules.
