    If you are tired of female competition, you must read this book! The heroine starts from the humblest position of "concubine", but forms an alliance with princesses and noble ladies, and eventually promotes female education all over the world. The original poems in the book are not only emotional embellishments, but also a declaration of female awakening. The layout is grand and the intention is far-reaching. It can be called a clear stream of women's videos.
