   Hehe, the interactions between the male and female leads are incredibly sweet. It features a system that makes the female lead beautiful, palace intrigue, and sweet romance.

I especially love the male lead's character; he has a complete "powerful" mindset. The emotional tug-of-war between the male and female leads is very compelling! After chapter 18, it's practically a masterpiece! It's one of my hidden gems, highly recommended!

    The two books featuring male leads who hug and coax female leads back to their homes are excellent, going beyond mere romance and palace intrigue. The male lead is a guiding lover, indulging the female lead's whims and showering her with affection, while also teaching her the art of rulership and guiding and supporting her in achieving her goals. The female lead is also incredibly versatile, capable of being both sweet and sassy, noble and domineering, elegant and spoiled, possessing her own thoughts, founding a girls' school, and striving to help more women oppressed by feudal ethics in that era. In this book, not only does the male lead protect the female lead, but the female lead also rushes to his aid. There are no barriers between them; they understand each other and are open with each other. Highly recommended!!! Super good!!! The male lead has very strong moral principles: "The courtiers are afraid, but I am not. My dear minister, a man should expand territory and secure the country. A man's achievements should be earned through his own efforts, not by suppressing women." The female lead also has strong moral principles: She asks herself, "Fucha Yixin, what do you want to do?" Want wealth and glory? Want to eliminate dissidents? Want to be remembered in history? She gently clenched her fist, exhaled, and rejected all her thoughts, saying only: I want women's happiness. Since I stand in this position, I want women to have the right to live independently in this world. Both books are by the same author; you can read either one first. If you read the first one, you must be patient with the male and female leads. The later parts are really good and sweet. The male lead's love in the epilogue is truly remarkable and very moving.

    These books are all incredibly sweet, and the kind of blatant favoritism is obvious. The male and female leads are both talkative, so there are no inexplicable misunderstandings. They perfectly portray the female lead being silly and the male lead being laughing. The female lead can play around without worry and directly confront anyone she doesn't like, since the male lead is powerful and influential, second only to the emperor, and is her backer.

    The female protagonist was born pampered. She had an aunt who was the Empress Dowager, a privileged family background, and treated the imperial seal like a toy. Her uncle, the late emperor, also doted on and protected her. The male protagonist loved her deeply, and their child was already the designated crown prince (regardless of gender) before birth. Fearing he would die first, the female protagonist had no one to rely on, so the emperor had planned her escape route early on. In the end, the female protagonist ruled over a vast empire. The story is straightforward and concise, without any melodramatic misunderstandings. The competition is for power, not simply for men. The pacing is fast, and the story of three emperors is told in just a few hundred thousand words.
