    First, let me emphasize that this is a multi-female lead novel. If you don't like this, please proceed with caution. This book is set in a fictional world (but the setting is the Song Dynasty), with romance (romances with various princesses) and political intrigue running parallel. The author's writing and knowledge are impressive, the plot arrangement (the love triangle, hehe) is just right, and the update volume (word count) is substantial, making it a very enjoyable read. One more thing: the protagonist's intelligence increases with experience. He was a bit tricky dealing with the female leads in the early stages, but later he handled things much more skillfully in the Jin Dynasty. Also, the protagonist is a modern person who transmigrated to this world, so he still retains a human conscience (but is by no means a saint), especially towards the female leads, which leads some to think he has no temper. This is subjective; I think this temperament is quite normal—kind to family, strict with enemies—I think it reflects a fairly normal set of values.
