   Unlike other stories of forced marriage and domination, this is not a game that begins with plunder and ends with subjugation, but an epic that begins with power and ends with equality.

   I liked the first two books because even though the male lead was purely in love with the female lead, even though he immediately gave her the highest status, even though he doted on her immensely, and despite most of the cruelty of that era, the female lead still insisted on being herself, wanting freedom, and resolutely escaping. She escaped him simply because "I" wanted freedom, regardless of whether he was good or bad to her. Many stories of forced possession feature female leads who are concubines, mistresses, oppressed in the early stages, and whose men are impure and look down on them. Is such love from the male lead acceptable? Only a fool wouldn't escape. In these situations, forced possession is more like a negotiation; the female lead gains more by escaping the male lead, but she's still essentially in his grasp. This kind of thing is disgusting. I quite like the style of the other author. The female lead is quite self-serving, impure, and it's like a harem story. The various passersby are exciting. In the end, some male leads are pure, some are not—I think most are pure. I've read most of this author's works and am looking for a replacement.

    The young emperor, in his first fit of anger, lost his beloved. 😢😢😢 On the night he attempted suicide by poison, the usually indifferent emperor rose as if in a daze, his face deathly pale, almost unable to stand! Inside Jingyang Palace, the emperor held the person in his arms tightly, his hair turning white overnight. Three years later, she became a little evil ghost, with weak magic, simple thoughts, and an extreme tendency to get hungry. Sometimes, when bullied by other ghosts, she would squat sadly in a corner, silently chewing on her favorite large rock. In short, she was a cute yet pathetic useless ghost. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she secretly went out to forage for food and was accidentally taken in by the mad tyrant.

    The first book is one I recently read, and it's absolutely fantastic! It's a new book, but the content is fresh and the writing is excellent. The characters are vividly described. It's about a powerful figure seizing power from a prince—it's incredibly good, highly recommended! [Drooling emoji] The second and third books are also quite good overall.
