    The female protagonist enters the palace through a talent show. She's intelligent, a character who grows and develops, and doesn't become naive or love-struck. It's a slice-of-life palace intrigue story that doesn't glorify feudal society; it leans towards an ensemble cast, focusing on female solidarity and mutual support. There's no female rivalry or romantic love. This is my own work, and since it hasn't been published yet and has no traffic, I can only promote it myself. Life is tough, and writing is difficult, so please be supportive and understanding! The title of my humble work is rather common, but it's definitely not a melodramatic story.

    Sweet and romantic, with a focus on the protagonist's exclusive affection later on. It's a great read without feeling stifled, already over 400,000 words – jump in without worry! A sweet but not cloying ancient romance, absolutely fantastic! A must-read for fans of time-travel stories!!! I'm staying up all night reading it. Both the male and female leads are intelligent, and their relationship develops gradually, delicately and naturally. It's not a love-hate relationship from the start; initially, the female lead is only after revenge, but seeing the male lead's concern for the people, she gradually feels sorry for him. The male lead initially suspects, observes, and tests her, then discovers her intelligence and integrity, personally mentoring her. Along the way, he's unconsciously attracted and falls in love. The relationship develops layer by layer, and the Fourth Prince's personality is historically accurate. Everything he does is to protect the female lead. In front of outsiders: cunning, deep, ruthless, and taciturn; in front of the female lead: unpredictable, that's just his true nature – that's how he is with you! The brotherhood between the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince is also well-portrayed; that brotherhood is very appealing!
