    Who understands?! I really love this female lead. She's a wolf in sheep's clothing, able to charm both men and women with just her words, overcoming all obstacles. She's incredibly intelligent, shrewd, and clever. She's also strong, capable, and broad-minded—no less than a true heroine, and perhaps even more outstanding than many men!!! Plus, Fu Guang is bold and straightforward with the person she likes. Xi Guang also dotes on Fu Guang, fulfilling her every wish. It's so sweet! [Admiration][Admiration]

    The second book features a quiet, reserved princess and a roguish, free-spirited swordsman. The male lead, a wandering swordsman with no background, falls in love at first sight with the princess and relentlessly pursues her, his pursuit gradually turning into a slow, insidious affair. The first book's female lead, though physically delicate, is intelligent and skilled in medicine; she knows to run away from fights and doesn't hold anyone back. The male lead is completely devoted to her, and there are no manipulative characters in the book.
