A female protagonist conquers the male lead, from domestic power struggles to palace intrigue, a fast-paced and satisfying story. It's truly fantastic, with that classic ruthless feel of old-school domestic power struggle novels. The male lead truly embodies the ruthlessness of an emperor, giving it a bit of a "War and Beauty" vibe!!! The female lead is really bullied terribly in the early stages, only wanting a peaceful life, but because of her beauty, she's forced to become a tool for her elder sister's vying for favor. The author writes very well; the female lead's helplessness, frustration, humiliation, and coercion force her to change her mindset and win the male lead's affection.
