    A historical romance with a twist: political intrigue and romance. The male lead is a cold and aloof high-ranking official, while the female lead is a palace maid. The female lead is a manipulative and seemingly indifferent character who starts seducing the male lead to save her own life. Later, she becomes incredibly ruthless, assaulting a princess, setting fire to a mountain, and drugging the male lead – it seems there's nothing she wouldn't do. The second male lead is also quite compelling; he feigns ignorance at first but later becomes emperor and forcefully takes his place.

    In the first book, the female and male leads' paths cross due to a misunderstanding. The female lead is focused on completing her mission, while the male lead, whose words and actions contradict each other, is attracted to her—a stubbornly arrogant and narcissistic character. In the second book, the female lead fabricates a male lead who is deeply and irrevocably in love with her. The male lead gradually falls for her through his own imagination; it's a really sweet and engaging story with a tug-of-war between reality and romance.
