   This is a story about a woman disguised as a man. The female protagonist, seeking revenge, disguises herself as a man to enter the imperial court and becomes the emperor's favorite. She is both brave and resourceful. This isn't a story where the female lead is stronger than the male lead; the female lead's official rank is higher than the male lead's. To lessen the emperor's suspicion (because of her high rank), she pretends to be a charming and carefree young man. The male lead is aloof and cold, and the female lead is particularly attracted to his looks, enjoying teasing him and seeing him get angry. The female lead isn't love-struck, but the male lead is. Later, when the male lead falls for the female lead, his somewhat tearful and clingy nature is revealed.
