    Reader note

    If you're looking for something to read, this is the book for you! You won't regret it! The male lead is gentle yet powerful. He doesn't need to pretend to dote on others to protect the female lead; he's strong enough, deeply devoted, and unwavering in his affections. Even the emperor and empress can't stop him from doing what he doesn't want to do. He's intelligent and brave, aware of all the schemes of the supporting female and male characters. So, there's nothing he can't protect, only things he doesn't care about. Even though the female lead is just a concubine, he still openly shows her favoritism. There are no melodramatic misunderstandings; both the male and female leads are talkative. The male lead unconditionally trusts and respects the female lead. He knows about her unusual background, but if she doesn't want to talk about it, he doesn't force her. The female lead is clever and resourceful, never holding the male lead back, and sometimes even helping him. She's protective of her own; when her sister is wronged in her husband's family, she immediately writes a letter to support her. She's clear-headed and rational. Unlike other stories where the emperor and empress are not clear-headed, they are aware of the bigger picture, value and love the male protagonist, and do not interfere too much in his decisions. They will also consider his opinions. The emperor is humane and values ​​relationships, and the empress supports the male protagonist.
