    Both books feature powerful ministers as male leads. In the first book, the male lead is a master of getting back at the female lead, initially suspecting her of having ulterior motives but later discovering her true feelings. He subtly hints at his feelings for her and then decisively makes his move, resulting in a very fast-paced plot. 😸 The second book is relatively sweeter and more romantic, with the female lead remaining devoted to the male lead.

    Highly recommended, a must-read new book. Si Chen's attraction to Xin Yue is purely physical. He only maintains his aloofness a few times before surrendering completely, showering Xin Yue with affection. There are no third parties involved; the couple focuses on building their wealth and power. The male lead is not only a powerful minister but also an emperor.
