    A good book doesn't need to be many, one is enough. The entire story is intellectually stimulating, and the female lead's life as an official is truly enjoyable. I've been following this far without any problems! The author is incredibly dedicated to their writing, meticulously researching ancient texts, and their writing style is superb (the author even personally roasts readers in the comments section!). Rating: Full stars!!
