    The plot is unconventional and logically organized. The content may cause discomfort, and the readers will be tortured and run away. It is a group portrait of sadomasochism in the palace, a highly intelligent palace battle, and a brain-busting story. The heroine uses clever strategies to get revenge in the palace. Have you ever seen Gong Douwen where both men and women fight? It depicts the tragedy of the ancient feudal system and shows the brutality of court struggle and the complexity of human nature. Each character in the book is very three-dimensional and has his own purpose and persistence. It is not a double story. The heroine and the male protagonist have a sadomasochistic relationship.
