   Oh my god, these are incredibly good! You can even read them with your brain engaged! 😄😄😄 These two books are definitely worth buying. The author's writing is superb. The first book has a bit of angst in the middle, but it's a happy ending. The male lead is incredibly doting on the female lead, a bit stubborn but soft-hearted, haha 🤭 The second book is the kind where you can carefully read every word. "Life is like a root, drifting like dust on the road." The characters are vivid and fleshed out. The female lead is clear-headed, strong, and intelligent. She holds power but uses it wisely, daring to love and hate fiercely 😄 The male lead is powerful and handsome, willing to risk everything to protect the one he loves. There's a bit of angst in the middle 🥺, but it gets very sweet later on and has a happy ending.

Their love is genuine and straightforward, with smooth communication and direct expressions of affection. It's very comfortable to read. It's truly like a beautiful fairy tale.

The male lead is an unloved crown prince who endures over 20 years to finally gain power; he's equally resourceful and capable. I absolutely love it!

    "The Hidden Beauty in the Brocade Official's Palace" is a very good book. The romance between the male and female leads is handled very well, and the characters of the brothers in the royal palace are also very well portrayed. It's a female-centric novel where the female lead is very clear-headed, and the male lead's emotions are handled very well, perfectly capturing the changes in his feelings for her. The plot transitions perfectly from revenge to court intrigue. "The Eldest Daughter's Stunning Brilliance" is also a good book. The female lead has multiple identities, and the author uses these identities very meticulously. From revenge to gradually getting involved in court intrigue, and finally to the chaos of the nation, the plot is tight, and the transition from personal revenge to the greater good of the country is perfect. The male lead's background is also cleverly changed, and the romance is delicate and sweet. The only drawback is that the author made a few typos. In short, if you like reading female-centric historical romance novels with sweet romance and a touch of political intrigue later on, both of these are very good.

    A powerful female lead! A super satisfying read! [Power! A woman's second face! She loves it deeply!] First book: The female lead is stunningly beautiful, a master of disguise and acting. A single tear can break someone's heart. She's incredibly charming, charming everyone around her, seducing every male lead she encounters. She's also clear-headed, capable, and understands men's nature perfectly, managing them like dogs – so satisfying! There are many male leads, each one incredibly good. There's the Duke of Shu, who knows her true nature yet remains swayed and infatuated, stubbornly claiming he's not jealous but turning into a sour lemon himself. He's very restrained when kissing her and even teaches her how to protect herself; the Ninth Prince, who sees her as the only white moonlight in his bleak life, strives hard to provide for her, knowing her inner turmoil yet still devotedly protecting her; the aloof and distant Crown Prince, who bows down only for her… It's truly amazing! The second book features a female protagonist who is intelligent, capable, clear-headed, and ambitious. She's not bound by romantic love and skillfully utilizes all available resources, meticulously planning and manipulating events step by step. She exudes a confident and composed air, as if she has everything under control – truly a strong female lead! As for the male lead, I currently prefer Lu Xiaoniu. He has a good personality, is completely devoted to the female lead, and has a high social status, providing support for her career! The writing is excellent, the plot is full of twists and turns, with many foreshadowing and reversals, making it incredibly addictive and impossible to put down. Superb!
