   [A gem among ancient Chinese romance novels!] Excellent writing, unconventional plot, and a wonderfully developed ensemble cast. Childhood sweethearts, a classic case of bickering lovers. The male lead was originally the female lead's male concubine (a hostage from an enemy country), but later returned to his homeland and became the crown prince. The female lead and the second male lead had been happily married for three years when the male lead captured her and took her back. The female lead was furious and attempted to assassinate the male lead three times a day, each time failing. During the day, the female lead tormented the male lead with various assassination attempts, while the male lead retaliated by tormenting the female lead at night, forcibly taking her as his own. Because he didn't know that the female lead and the second male lead were just close friends, he was constantly jealous and sought pleasure with her every night.

The first book, a palace intrigue and political maneuvering, was so captivating that I read it straight to the end. It felt like this was how it should be written, a truly memorable book. The second political maneuvering novel features a powerful male and female lead, giving the reader a sense of a female strategist, meticulously planning and controlling everything. The third palace intrigue novel showcases a female protagonist who is acutely aware of her own desires; pay close attention to every detail, as they are all foreshadowing elements. The fourth political maneuvering novel portrays a character who truly cares for the nation and its people, striving for the status and development of women—a beacon of hope for everyone. The protagonist disguises herself as a man, but of course, only she and her grandfather know her true gender. Rest assured, she won't revert to her female identity.
