Life is tough, writing is hard, no debut, no traffic—I've written 800,000 words and only get a few dozen recommendations on the bookstore each day, so I have to promote it myself. The female lead is intelligent, doesn't compete for male attention, isn't love-struck, and has logic without being idiotic. The low rating is due to few reviews. It's a good story that doesn't glorify feudal society! A female lead who doesn't fall in love, a humanoid emperor [facepalm], a character who grows, female mutual support, a slice-of-life palace intrigue, an ensemble piece, and the writing is quite good. The title of my humble work is rather cliché, but it's definitely not a melodramatic story. Please give it a try, thank you!
