The male protagonist has a temperament as gentle as jade, and his every move shows elegance, but he hides an unfathomable strategy in his heart. He has an exhaustive plan and can calmly resolve any crisis. Every time he takes action, people will be amazed. The heroine has a distinct personality, she must avenge herself, she acts decisively and neatly, and she never acts sloppily, and she carves out her own world in a complex situation. The supporting characters are equally brilliant. Everyone has flesh and blood and high IQ. The interaction and collision between them vividly interpret the sparks of intrigue. Even the emotional line of the deputy CP is written with such precision that people can't help but take sugar. The author consulted a large amount of information during the creative process, and the description of power and intrigue is meticulous, ranging from large-scale disputes in the court to small interpersonal dealings. They are all logical and can withstand scrutiny, and the sense of history and reality is overwhelming. However, the author's updates are so Buddhist. Every time I wait for a new chapter, it feels like I am going through a long ordeal. I can't wait to update for the author! But even so, the charm of this novel is still irresistible. Once you fall into the trap, you will be stuck in it and unable to extricate yourself.
