    Reader note

    The first palace intrigue novel wasn't about a monogamous relationship; the emperor had a harem with many concubines, and the female protagonist climbed the ranks step by step through her own wisdom, clearly knowing what she wanted. The supporting characters were also very vivid, feeling contradictory yet realistic; there were no absolutely good or absolutely bad people. The second novel was a cultivation story. The female protagonist was only outwardly kind, actually prioritizing self-interest. Like the line written later in the novel, "I'm just your perspective, but I've never been a good person," which shocked me.
