    It is an excellent anti-conventional work about palace fighting and power planning. It has novel content, calm writing style, detailed description of palace secrets, unconventional plot, and clear logic. It's a daily routine, the secret fight is fierce, and the heroine is ridiculed when she enters the palace. You have to rely on yourself, there is no golden finger, no time travel, no rebirth, and you are going through ups and downs in a strange and dark harem. The content may cause discomfort. The kind where readers are tortured and run away, such as deep palace sadomasochism group portraits, highly intelligent palace battles, and brain-torture stories. The heroine is an abandoned wife who uses tricks to get revenge in the palace. Have you ever seen a palace battle between men and women? This novel depicts the tragedy of the ancient feudal system and shows the brutality of court struggles and the complexity of human nature.
