Reader note

* "This book is super exciting, but the plot is very complicated and brain-burning! There are multiple story lines advancing at the same time (palace struggle, financial conspiracy, supernatural events), the relationship between the characters is like a spider web, and there are so many foreshadowing details to pay attention to. If you like the high IQ and machinations of "A Song of Ice and Fire", or the dark epic feel of "The Thorn Birds", and can accept the depressive atmosphere and psychological thriller, you will definitely fall in love! It requires patience to read, but the process of solving puzzles is super exciting." *[Punch Out] "Warning: A masterpiece of dark adult plotting against the palace power! It's full of political calculations, economic games, supernatural curses, and twisted emotions. None of the characters are simple, and everyone's IQ is online. Reading requires high concentration, the amount of information is explosive, and there are many foreshadowings. It is suitable for readers who like to use their brains to analyze, enjoy complex narratives and dark styles. Please be careful if you have weak psychological endurance." **Summary:** It is most suitable to be recommended to readers who have average cognitive abilities or above (about 105+ on Webster's), mature minds (16 years old+), strong interest and patience in reading complex and dark palace intrigues/economic games/psychological thrillers/supernatural themes**. IQ itself is not the threshold. Interest, concentration, logical thinking and tolerance for dark and complex narratives are the key.
