    I hesitated to click on several books because of their titles and synopses, but thankfully, I didn't miss out on a good one during my reading slump. It's a very good period drama, a sweet and satisfying story with a well-written plot that avoids being mindless. There are a few antagonistic characters, but they're just minor characters who disappear after one or two chapters. The premise is also quite novel: the female lead isn't a sent-down youth but a highly educated individual with a special advantage, which she doesn't abuse. Her whole family has a protagonist's halo, and they are all useful talents who can contribute to the country. The author's writing is also very meticulous; they've done thorough research, making it a comfortable read. Although it's set in a fictional parallel world, it doesn't feel out of place. The only nitpicking is that the main characters are all too perfect, their lives too smooth, so perfect that they seem to exist on a different layer from the historical setting.
