   Reader note

   The first book, although a transmigration story, was incredibly good! I was initially misled by the cover and title and didn't read it, but I stumbled upon it and it completely captivated me!! The female lead is cool and straightforward, doesn't hold grudges (but settles them immediately), has incredibly high emotional intelligence, and is humorously charming. Every character in the book is very well-developed. The second book is truly excellent! Every character is vividly portrayed, and each character undergoes growth and transformation. To be honest, I didn't like Yu San at first because of his willful and reckless behavior. Later, Yu San matured. He was just an ordinary person; no one is perfect from the start. Even his senior brother had moments of confusion. The prince is capricious, but he also has his own reasons. The female lead is ordinary, but she has determination and wisdom. Therefore, she succeeded in that era, becoming the person she wanted to be and transforming the country into the person she desired. Finally, I just want to say: This is a very good novel, highly recommended.
