    The first book was rather awful; the female lead was promiscuous, showering affections on the crown prince, a hostage from a foreign land, the Grand Tutor, a young general, the Imperial Uncle, and a cheerful young man from the same world. They all eventually learned of each other's existence, accepted the relationship, and then vied for the position of the main wife. The female lead ultimately brought them all into her harem. The second book, on the other hand, had a better writing style and a more exciting plot. You know, we couldn't be in the light of day; we could only kiss in a dark, deserted underground tunnel.
