    ① The female lead is a character who grows and isn't obsessed with romance. As a concubine's daughter suppressed for many years, she suffers neglect from her biological father and bullying from her stepmother. After entering the Prince's mansion, her ambition awakens, and she breaks free from everyone's control. She struggles through superficial relationships, learning to stand firm. ② The Liu family of the capital is incredibly powerful. Liu Yan, the youngest daughter of the second branch, possesses extraordinary talent. Her stepmother enters the family at the age of five, but instead of the usual melodramatic palace intrigue, she is loved by her family. With her brother's protection and her childhood sweetheart's companion, she is spoiled yet carefree, growing freely in this atypical palace drama. ③ A pampered young woman is paired with a cunning and sickly ninth prince, embarking on a sweet and hilarious journey to seize the throne. The court is portrayed vividly and humorously, with the emperor shipping the characters, the gossipy officials, and the censors who love to impeach—the humor is plentiful. The female lead bravely fights against scumbags, unexpectedly forming an alliance with the ninth prince, leading to constant plot twists—a must-watch!
