   The plot is unconventional and logically sound. It's the kind of story that will drive readers crazy with its emotional intensity—a palace intrigue drama with a complex cast of characters, a classic palace power struggle, and a story full of brain-teasing twists and turns. The female lead cleverly uses schemes to achieve multiple goals while seeking revenge. Have you ever seen a palace intrigue novel where both men and women are involved in the conflict? It depicts the tragedy of ancient feudal society, showcasing the brutality of court struggles and the complexities of human nature. Each character is well-developed, with their own goals and principles. It's not a story about two virgins; the female lead's relationship with the male lead and the second male lead is a tumultuous and painful one.
