    A different perspective on Emperor Yongzheng, very engaging, definitely worth reading. Synopsis: The Fourth Prince and his wife support each other from childhood, understanding and cherishing each other. The Fourth Prince's wife is an excellent and virtuous helper. Although some minor historical alterations have been made, the overall direction still follows the historical course. The book significantly alters the brutal struggle for the throne among the nine princes, and the relationship between the Fourth Prince and Consort De is also very heartwarming. In my opinion, the ending for the Fourth Prince and his wife in this book is the best possible outcome given the historical context.

    A story told from ancient times, featuring the Ulanara clan, the primary wife of the Fourth Prince. Not a story of two virgins; the female lead is very clear-headed and rational, not a saint. In the early stages, the Fourth Prince treats her with the respect due to a primary wife, but later shows her exclusive favoritism. It's a palace intrigue novel.
