I discovered an ancient saying with a strong sense of essence. There is no floating golden finger. The heroine is the direct daughter of the imperial concubine. She has been planning every step of the way in the deep house since she was a child. He is neither purely kind nor purely cruel, he knows how to weigh things, and he has a clear understanding of the people's hearts in the house and the pros and cons of the court.

In this book, the author's writing style is very sophisticated, more natural than some deliberate "powerful plots", the characters are more real and down-to-earth, and the emotions are more delicate and rich. The seemingly invisible big boss in the palace, Concubine Qi, is the leader among time-traveling girls, and the heroine is vividly portrayed. It comes alive on paper. The male protagonist is self-denial and has a noble character. The male and female protagonists are attracted to each other and run in both directions. It is like destiny engraved in the bones. In short, it is very, very good. For book lovers who like ancient novels, this book is a must-read. Trust me, a person who has traveled tens of thousands of books and traveled tens of thousands of miles.
