    This is arguably the pinnacle of ancient romance novels featuring two strong leads! The female protagonist, with meticulous planning and strategic brilliance, uses her intelligence as a weapon and the hearts of men as a chess piece to stir up a storm amidst treacherous waters; the male protagonist is a cold-faced prince wielding immense power, possessing a deep and calculating mind, yet he lowers his guard only towards her. The two are evenly matched, not only formidable rivals but also kindred spirits, each clash fraught with hidden cunning, each alliance awe-inspiring to the court!

    🔥🔥Highly Recommended🔥🔥 When Qin Leyang and Fu Yeming broke up, the entire Beijing social circle quietly spread rumors that there was no possibility of them getting back together. After the breakup, they didn't speak ill of each other, didn't actively discuss it, didn't delete any posts on social media, and didn't say a single word. Both of them successfully played the role of exemplary exes—acting as if they were dead, without making a single sound about each other. [Please follow]
