   Reader note

   The first three books all feature a "golden finger" (a powerful, overpowered ability). They are all "feel-good" novels. The first one has all the tricks and schemes, but the "golden finger" isn't too overpowered; it's a fairly realistic novel. [Sparrow's Delight] The second one is a fiercely competitive domestic drama. Many novels about concubines are rather dull and frustrating, but this one is very enjoyable to read, and the female lead is also very clear-headed.

   Reader note

   This novel is completely different from those saccharine, love-obsessed historical romances. It's incredibly complex and logical, not mindless at all, and the female lead is remarkably clear-headed! The system appears briefly, but its usefulness is limited, so those who dislike systems should definitely check it out! The writing is excellent, skillfully portraying the complexities of human relationships within the palace. The angst was so intense it brought tears to my eyes. Every character is distinct, and the villains are both pitiful and hateful. The scumbag emperor is like a durian, with a vengeful spirit at every point. The characters with ailments are truly endearing, and the other couples are also very likable. The entire plot is logical, well-developed, and flows smoothly. These days, it's hard to find novels like this, and I've only recently read a few that I've been searching for a long time, so this book is truly exceptional.
