    This is the kind of story that will drive readers away with its emotional intensity. It's unconventional, a palace intrigue drama with a complex cast of characters, featuring traditional palace power struggles and a brain-teasing plot. The female protagonist cleverly uses schemes to achieve multiple goals while seeking revenge. Have you ever seen a palace intrigue story where both men and women are involved in the conflict? It depicts the tragedy of ancient feudalism, showcasing the brutality of court struggles and the complexities of human nature. Each character is well-developed, with their own goals and principles. It's not a story about two virgins; the female protagonist's relationship with the male lead and the second male lead is a tumultuous and painful one.
