    This isn't a monk story; the male lead is a layman, not a monk. He's righteous to the point of being wicked. [OK] Here are the characteristics of this book for your reference: 1. Ancient palace intrigue novel + the female lead is reborn and learns she was a villainous supporting character in a storybook. She awakens after rebirth; the original book was a popular novel. 2. No system or other messy elements. It's average at the beginning, with average character development in the first few pages, but it gets much better later on, very vivid. 3. The male lead is an exceptionally fair person, righteous to the point of being wicked. Later, his affection for the female lead is a "conscious depravity." [Full of joy] His favoritism is very obvious. 4. The male and female leads are related as the male lead's brother's wife (the male lead and his brother are not related by blood), which is very exciting. 5. Because the female lead needs to rely on powerful figures, she has to win over the male lead, which often involves crying. If you don't like this, please avoid it. 5. The male lead is incredibly powerful, practically wielding power comparable to the emperor, a supreme minister with immense influence (and also quite strong in other areas) [heart emoji]. That's all for now. I won't reveal any more details. Hope you enjoy reading! [Add to bookshelf]
