It's a sweet and doting story where the male lead initially dotes on the female lead, showing favoritism, but later becomes exclusively devoted to her. The emperor and the female lead are well-developed characters, and the story is very heartwarming. The female lead, a favored concubine, is obedient, intelligent, and beautiful, but very opinionated, neither a saint nor love-struck fool. (Completed)
