    The first book was adapted into a short drama, with Li Fei seemingly playing the male lead. The novel itself was also very good; although not very long, the plot was coherent, and the writing was excellent. The female lead enters the palace to raise her sister's child after her sister dies in childbirth. The male lead is the emperor's cousin, essentially stealing his woman. Later, when someone is vying for the throne, the female lead desperately writes to the male lead for help. He is truly head over heels in love and comes to her rescue, though he's reluctant to admit his feelings. It ends happily; the male lead becomes emperor, and the female lead becomes empress. The second book is the famous fanfiction "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu," which is very good 👀, with excellent writing. This time, they are finally able to be happily together [crying].
