    This is a great read, no clichés! Life's tough, writing isn't easy, and without a debut or much traffic, I have to promote it myself. Please give it a try, thank you! The female lead is intelligent, doesn't compete for male attention, isn't love-struck, and isn't love-struck. She's logical and doesn't lower her intelligence. The low rating is because there aren't many reviews. It's a good story that doesn't glorify feudal society! It features a female lead who doesn't fall in love, a humanoid emperor 🤦, a character who grows and develops, female mutual support, a slice-of-life palace intrigue, and an ensemble cast. The writing is also quite good. The title is a bit cheesy, but it's definitely not a melodramatic story. I'll be updating twice a day, please give it a try, thank you!

    These two books (?) Are slice-of-life and normal, not unrealistic, and don't violate professional ethics, which suits my taste perfectly 🙏🏻 The first one has a male lead who is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in a hospital. The female lead is under a lot of pressure and goes to see a doctor, and their relationship begins. Of course! It's not a doctor-patient romance set in a hospital! In short, the plot is very realistic, just what young doctors in a hospital do. The second one has a similar story about the female lead, and they are both very sweet. I don't like angst (damn), and I don't like unrealistic plots either.
