    There are no dancing ones, personally I don't like that kind, but there are Machiavellian ones. The first one is a solid plot book with great strategy and logic. It is highly recommended. It has no CP. The heroine will have a partner in the later stage, but it is not important. What is important is that the heroine becomes the emperor. There was a character in the first book, a small supporting role, but she was a dancer. In the end, she was taken over by the heroine, as a subordinate. The second one, I read it as a mindless read at first, but it got worse as I went on??? I'm clueless, but it's really fun. The heroine is from time travel, so there's no censorship. The third one, I'm still reading, but I've read more than half of it. It has CP, but I don't really like it, because I've read too many non-CP books, and it's also time travel.
