The political intrigue is meticulously crafted, and the plot twists are all logical and predictable. The ensemble cast is particularly outstanding. The female protagonist remains remarkably clear-headed, carving out an astonishing path within the limitations of her era. The story has a powerful aftertaste, with many details worth savoring. The overall pacing is slow, requiring a patient reading experience. It's suitable for readers experiencing a reading slump and looking for a substantial historical romance, and those who don't mind a slow burn. A niche gem; once you get into it, it's easy to become completely engrossed.

    The titles of the entire book are written in classical Chinese poetry. Even in a fantasy world, the protagonist can become famous through poetry. Besides plagiarism, the protagonist also writes his own poems and sings his own songs, and importantly, these elements appear naturally, without being forced.
