    Reader note

    These two books completely break away from traditional tropes, each with its own innovative points: *The Scheme of the Brocade Banquet* isn't the typical "female protagonist's revenge and face-slapping" template; instead, it explores the complexities of human nature within the intrigue of the inner palace. The female protagonist uses modern thinking to break through the constraints of the inner court, each step grounded in realistic logic. There are no villains with forced intelligence or unexpected advantages; the political intrigue is solid and nuanced. *Lord Bao, Is Your Crescent Moon Sticked On?* Has a silly title that might lead you to believe it's a meme, but it's actually a subversive historical fantasy novel with a time-travel element. The protagonist uses modern knowledge to stir up trouble in the Northern Song Dynasty, with plot twists that defy convention. The historical details are meticulously researched, and the characters' motivations are believable—it's not a formulaic product. Both are innovative works that defy tropes; a must-read for those looking for something to read!
