The daughter of a jade merchant meets a fallen prince living among commoners, but no spark ignites until they fight assassins in a dilapidated temple. There, she falls in love with him, but he falls for another extremely delicate woman. By chance, he's placed on the throne by a powerful minister. He doesn't love her, but respects her and needs her wisdom to help him navigate the complexities of power and the court. She also coexists peacefully with his lover. She loves him, and therefore loves him in a way that he desires. However, when love and emotion clash with power, she unhesitatingly chooses power. 😊 After reading it, you'll feel a sense of loss. It's a rare story where the male and female protagonists don't fall in love, but they need to use each other. They don't compete with each other, and the story ends without a clear conclusion. It has a strong aftertaste.

Just as she was eagerly preparing for her engagement party, believing she was finally going to marry her true love, her childhood sweetheart fiancé stood her up and went to Shanghai to take care of his mistress. How ridiculous! So she chose a new beginning and withdrew from Lu Chengze's life.

    1. I've discovered another novel worth following!!! The female protagonist is reborn (rational and clear-headed, not overly selfish, but definitely has her own thoughts), changes her family situation and enriches herself appropriately, following the strong female lead route, slowly building her business empire. I'll call the male leads all "all routes" (there are older/younger, younger/older, childhood sweetheart... Currently these three). It feels like the male leads help the female protagonist grow. I'm currently reading it because the author is still updating, and the current direction is very good. I'm looking forward to the development after university. I'm slowly feeding this book, hahaha. I won't talk about 2, 3, and 4; they're absolutely exquisitely selfish, all about sex and not about feelings (2 and 3). I wanted to post 1 separately, but since this tag fits, I'll post the other three as well.
