    She learned "human nature prediction + anti-PUA" techniques. She could predict what the other person would say and do next. Shimazu Tadatsune was good at stalling, so she seized ships, cut off trade routes, and appealed to the shogunate, blocking all his escape routes. Yu Zigao was good at pleading, so she prepared in advance the line, "You've exhausted your father's face." The essence of PUA is to make you doubt yourself. Gao Cai made you feel, "It's your fault for not being productive enough," while Yu Zigao made you feel, "It's your fault for not giving face." She wasn't swayed because she knew: the fault wasn't hers. If someone tries to shift blame onto you in the workplace, you can use this logic to counter them.

    The novel possesses lofty ideals and profound themes. It doesn't merely narrate the Sima clan's usurpation of the Wei dynasty, but uses the "Oath of the Luo River" as its core image and a moral question to deeply explore the complex relationships between power, morality, family, and the individual in the torrent of history. The novel questions: On the bloody road to supreme power, how many oaths must be betrayed, how much morality sacrificed, and how many glimmers of humanity extinguished? This gaze into the inner abyss of historical figures imbues the work with a philosophical weight that transcends ordinary historical fiction.
