    Your Majesty, the first book is very interesting. The female protagonist is strong and sober, while the male protagonist has a personality change and gradually becomes perfect. Machiavellian tactics are used to the extreme, the plot is good and cliché, and the writing style is sharp without losing the character of a scholar. The IQ of the hero and heroine is online. The writing is delicate and vivid, and the three views are very correct. The heroine strategizes after rebirth and is better than many men. Decisions are made in a split second. The characters all have their own characteristics, and they are not paper figures. Very graphic. Very authentic.
