   It's well written, but I don't want to finish it. The heroine meets my requirements, but I don't like harem stories. Although this is not a harem story, I'm a little disgusted with the heroine. She flirts with men and girls. Flirting with those men. If you want to be a female emperor, you either don't have a male protagonist. If you are serious about your career, you need a male protagonist. There is only one male protagonist. Don't always flirt with those men and women. I like aloof girls who know how to measure themselves

   It's a bit sadistic at the beginning but very sweet later on. The heroine is heart-wrenching and very cute. The regent dotes on the heroine, and there are two male supporting characters who I think look like Xipi. One of the male supporting characters is a sworn enemy of the male protagonist, but the male supporting character also quite dotes on the female protagonist. The male character in the film has a white snake, and the snake is called Xiao Yin, but the heroine likes to call him Xiao Bai. The snake was originally a male partner but was abducted by the female protagonist later. There are some funny contents in it. I recommend everyone to read it [Sending Hearts]
