    This was the first novel I ever read on Tomato Bookstore. I never read novels before, until I came across this one. The male protagonist, Zhan, has many handsome younger brothers, all of them well-mannered and, most importantly, kind and polite. Everyone knows that women who marry into the Zhan family are very fortunate. The female protagonist, Hai Tong, has a good personality. She saved the grandmother of the young master of the Zhan family and was thus favored by the grandmother, who even wanted Hai Tong to be her granddaughter-in-law. As expected, Hai Tong married Zhan Yin, the eldest son of the Zhan family, and their relationship blossomed from marriage to love. Hai Tong also has an older sister named Hai Ling, whose story is also quite complex…

    This is a historical romance novel featuring an arranged marriage that blossoms into love, a blend of political intrigue and romance. The male lead is a cold and aloof high-ranking official, while the female lead is a palace maid. The female lead is a manipulative and seemingly indifferent character who starts seducing the male lead to save her own life upon their first meeting. Later, she becomes incredibly ruthless, assaulting a princess, setting fire to a mountain, and drugging the male lead – it seems there's nothing she wouldn't do. The second male lead is also quite compelling; he feigns ignorance at first but later becomes emperor and forcefully takes the emperor's woman.

    Both books are good. The first one is a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. The male lead dotes on the female lead and enjoys teasing her. On their wedding night, the female lead thinks the male lead is going to do something to her, but he says, "I don't do things I'm not familiar with." Also, when the female lead can't sleep, she tells the male lead about her childhood and falls asleep. The next night, the male lead tells her where she left off. The second book features a male lead who is the crown prince, and the female lead, who was brought to the palace as a child, is his childhood sweetheart. This is one of the few books I've read where the princes have such a good relationship. The male lead is very kind to his younger brothers, who all respect him. The emperor also protects the male and female leads, making it a heartwarming read.
