   Reader note

   Compared with many novels that sweep the court at the first call, this one is full of realism. The male protagonist has no soldiers, no money, and no one. Facing powerful veterans from three dynasties, he can only pretend to be cowardly to paralyze his opponents. Gao Lishi's character design is very consistent with history. He is good at discerning people's hearts, gathering people at the bottom of the palace, and quietly transforming the spies planted by powerful ministers step by step. The palace fights are very enjoyable to watch, and there is no forced killing.
