    Trust me, this is great! Don't be fooled by the title; the low rating is because there aren't many reviews. It's a good story that doesn't involve female rivalry, male-dominated plots, or glorify feudal society! It features a female protagonist who doesn't fall in love, a humanoid emperor [facepalm], a palace maid rising to power, intelligent, a developing female lead, female mutual support, logical plot without being overly romantic, a slice-of-life palace intrigue story, and a strong ensemble cast. The writing is also quite good. I wrote this myself; it hasn't been released yet and has no traffic, so I can only promote it myself. Life is tough, and writing is difficult, so please support and understand! The title of my humble work is rather common, but it's definitely not a melodramatic story. I'll update twice a day; please take a look, thank you!
