    A high-quality historical romance novel you could watch countless times! It's breathtaking! The female lead is "beautiful on the outside, but a heart of a viper"—ambitious, cunning, and single-mindedly focused on climbing the social ladder by attaching herself to power. She'll pursue and win over anyone useful, ignoring those who aren't. She's a master of pretense and acting, her moods shifting in an instant. She's also quick to resort to violence, remaining remarkably clear-headed, loving no one, and incapable of giving her heart away. Moreover, her high status means she's unburdened by constraints, always being fawned over—it's incredibly satisfying! Each male lead has his own unique charm: the insecure Crown Prince He Zhiyu, attracted to her but unwilling to admit his change of heart; the fearless and resilient wolf cub Lu Jinye; the dull and clueless divine physician Yun Heng; the flamboyant and arrogant young marquis who is unaware of his own love; and the one he loves most is Prince Jing, He Yanli, her childhood sweetheart. His words are like poison, each one sharp and incisive, yet he claims to hate her, but he's the first to rush to her aid when she's in danger, unable to bring himself to be harsh with her, instinctively protecting her, and indiscriminately attacking those who oppose her. He understands what kind of person she is yet still loves her—a perfect match, a heavenly couple! The female lead's maternal grandfather and parents are incredibly kind, knowing her ambition and fully supporting her—full of warmth and affection! The writing is excellent, the plot thrilling—a masterpiece! I especially love the female lead's character: ["Greed for power and vanity—what's wrong with that? It shows she's ambitious."] [If a woman cannot wield power, then let those who wield power be controlled by her.] [Money is a good thing. Power is something she desperately desires.] ["Retribution is nothing but psychological comfort for the weak."] [Whenever something happens, she immediately blames the other person, naturally believing that she is more important than the rest of the world, and that the whole world must be trampled under her feet.] [This apology is completely insincere; it's just a way to muddle through the present and lay the groundwork for future offenses. She never feels she has done anything wrong.] [Tears can solve many unnecessary troubles, as well as necessary ones.] [Qiao Wanyan still doesn't feel she has done anything wrong; she's just become better at disguising herself.] [Those who can be used will be squeezed dry before being discarded.] ['May the Flower Goddess bless this believer, not seeking tender affection, but only power, wealth, and the admiration of all!']

    The following are all excellent books, novels that you could read multiple times. My top recommendation is the first one, also known as *The Deadly Collector*, a masterpiece of antique appraisal with a rebirth! A seasoned expert returns to the antique world with half a lifetime of experience, identifying fakes, breaking through barriers, and settling old scores. It boasts solid antique knowledge and a strong sense of the martial arts world. The other books are all long-term favorites on my bookshelf, novels I reread repeatedly during periods of reading slump.
