    The limits depend on individual tolerance. This is a subversive palace intrigue masterpiece, meticulously depicting palace secrets with an unconventional plot. The logic is clear, the daily life is lighthearted and humorous, the power struggles are intense, and the female protagonist is ridiculed upon entering the palace. She has to rely entirely on herself; there are no cheat codes, no time travel, and no reincarnation. She navigates the treacherous and dark harem. The content may be disturbing, and some readers might find it too emotionally draining. The female protagonist, an abandoned wife, cleverly uses schemes to achieve multiple goals while seeking revenge. Have you ever seen a palace intrigue novel where both men and women fight? It portrays the tragedy of ancient feudalism, showcasing the brutality of court struggles and the complexities of human nature.
