    A traditional palace intrigue story, featuring a brain-teasing and angsty plot. The female lead, who never loved the emperor in the early stages, cleverly uses schemes to achieve multiple goals with a single arrow in order to enter the palace for revenge. It's an ensemble piece with both joy and sorrow. Have you ever seen a palace intrigue story where both men and women are involved in the struggle? This story depicts the tragedy of the ancient feudal system, showcasing the brutality of court struggles and the complexities of human nature. Each character is well-developed, with their own goals and principles. It's not a story of two virgins; the female lead experiences a tumultuous love affair with both the male lead and the second male lead.
