   Incredibly heart-wrenching! A masterpiece! A cold, sickly beauty prince, a crazed emperor, seemingly forceful in his affections, but actually incredibly devoted. Seemingly irresistible, yet each has unexpected romantic subplots. Almost no chapters later are sweet. A tiny bit of sweetness at the beginning, but in retrospect, it's all angst. But it's truly a captivating read. The beautiful prince, seemingly irresistible, a broken beauty, actually possesses immense integrity. Both are strong, and everyone is intelligent. It's incredibly heart-wrenching. Every character is fleshed out, three-dimensional. Not two-dimensional, each truly feels alive, with their own loves and hates, unrequited love, misplaced identities, and unrequited love—it's truly heartbreaking. The plot and character development are completely unpredictable. It carries the weight of the empire. It carries the destiny of the older generation. Love and hate. Each storyline, once you understand the motivations, becomes even more compelling. The hidden storyline, the emperor's lifelong unrequited love—I cried from beginning to end. It's excruciatingly heart-wrenching. Prepare tissues before you start reading. It's really gorgeous!

    The two male leads are very angsty, extremely angsty, super angsty. The first book is a prison angst novel, the second is about a switcheroo of real and fake young masters, the third is about love at first sight, and after all that angst, read a refreshing novel. The fourth book has no angst, no misunderstandings, and the male lead is very powerful. It's part of a series.
