   This is an ancient romance novel combining elements of domestic intrigue, palace intrigue, and a strong female lead with contrasting personalities. The female lead is willful, resilient, kind, and sometimes cunning. She is a princess of the Southern Liang Dynasty who, after the fall of her kingdom and the destruction of her family, becomes a slave and is later made the Crown Princess of Jinyang. The male lead is cold and aloof, a charmingly wicked man who will do anything for his lover. He is very affectionate and protective of the female lead. The characters are diverse, making it a safe read. The plot is engaging, with each character's actions and inner thoughts described appropriately and delicately in the context. It's a balanced read. I've read this novel many times; it has many settings, a delicate writing style, and a gradual progression. It's very good!!
