    This is definitely the one!! Both characters possess exceptional intelligence!! The imperial palace is fraught with danger, and the emperor meticulously plans every step.

The emperor, who reigns supreme, willingly conceals his sharp edges for one person. There's no artificial sweetness; the tug-of-war between love and hate is well-balanced, the political intrigue is solid and grounded, and the bittersweet plot is particularly memorable.
