    This book is really interesting. Very cool!! Having read too many old sayings about assembly lines, this book about the fateful plot of a blind doctor and an emperor is particularly poignant. The heroine has been dormant for thirty years and enters the palace to seek revenge. She is blind and clear-minded, and stirs up troubles in the court with her medical skills. The emperor is good at weighing and balancing, but his frozen heart is lost to her old enemy. Hatred entwines love, intrigue entwines affection. The two confront each other as chess pieces, and slowly embrace each other's scars to complete redemption. The writing is full of atmosphere, the Machiavellian logic is online, and the tension between love and hate is delicate and long-lasting. If you like high-quality ancient novels about Machiavellian sadomasochism, don't miss it.

    In the first book, the male protagonist manages the Dali Temple, and the female protagonist enters the Dali Temple on her own ability. The male and female protagonists work together to solve crimes. The second book is a bit sadistic, with a Chinese Ghost Story as the background. The third book, the male protagonist travels from ancient times to modern times and meets the female protagonist. It is a campus novel. The male and female protagonists are regarded as brothers and sisters. The male and female protagonists live together with their grandfather. It is quite warm, but the rating is low, but I personally think it is good. The fourth book has forgotten the plot, but the male protagonist is quite strategic. The fifth female protagonist, there are several male protagonists. If you like Shuang Jie, you can ignore it. One of the male protagonists helped the female protagonist ascend to the throne. He is really as gentle as jade and has strategies.
