She's not a naive and innocent character; the female lead is shrewd and uses her charm to please others. She seduces the male lead with a specific purpose, but unexpectedly falls for him herself. Overall, it's incredibly good! The author's writing is excellent, flowing smoothly and engagingly, making it a pleasure to read.

    The first book's author has a very delicate writing style, and the suspense is handled very well. The second book's male lead is aware that the female lead has designs on him but still becomes infatuated. The third and fourth books are by the same author (the female lead in the third book loved the male lead, but I don't think so in the fourth; though liking someone might). The third book is an ancient romance; the male lead is a crown prince who later becomes the emperor, and he's not chaste (the extra chapters say he is chaste, and the extra chapters are very good). After the female lead successfully seduces the male lead, he becomes completely her servant. The fourth book's female lead is more rational and never loves any of these men; she's very intelligent.
