    Surprisingly, I haven't seen any recommendations for this book. It's really good! Is there affection? Maybe, after all, the companionship of over a decade is real. But is there love? No, everything is just a compromise within the context of the times. The daily interactions and flirtations are very sweet, and the Eighth Prince truly did his love for the Tenth Prince for over a decade, giving him almost all of his fatherly love. But all this love and future was actually calculated by the Tenth Prince bit by bit. So when the dust settles, the world naturally can't keep her. History may remember a corner of the splendor of Consort Chende, but that's not Pei Shiyuan. Moreover, this book not only features the main characters, but many supporting characters are also very well-developed, especially those from the courtyard to the palace. Whether it's Xie Ning, Zheng Yaoqiu, Jia Yuetong, Qiu Yu, or even Chen Ciyi... Every life is so unique and three-dimensional. The thirty-one extra chapters record their stories and their lives, which I think are the essence of the whole book. Just pay special attention to reading less of the paragraph reviews.
