    A sweet little story! The male lead, due to his own experiences, doesn't seem to have the typical ancient male chauvinism! He teaches the female lead self-reliance and is quite persuasive; after ensuring his own survival, he confesses his feelings to her! The female lead is clever and adorable, knows a little medicine, and rises from palace maid to female official, determined not to become a concubine. Knowing her parents' favoritism and snobbishness, she cuts off all contact with them—a clear-headed and realistic character. The story is relatively short, probably only around a hundred chapters, and the pace is fast. A sweet ancient romance novel!
