    This kind of game between two powerful people is so exciting to watch. The best thing about Machiavellian novels is that they don't rely on any plug-ins, but rely entirely on themselves. This is what it is. The female protagonist is really powerful, and the male protagonist is not bad either. Both of them are very strong. The plot is very logical. Highly recommended!
