   This novel features a female protagonist who doesn't go to the countryside, isn't a military marriage, and doesn't involve a rough, uncouth man. It's the first time I've seen a historical romance novel with this kind of premise, and I personally think it's quite enjoyable.

    This is a different kind of historical fiction, combining historical elements with metaphysical ones. The content is very interesting, and it's a good book whose potential is overshadowed by its title. At first, I thought it was one of those novels that supposedly revolved around the male and female leads and light metaphysics but was actually a palace intrigue story. Later, out of curiosity, I read on and found that it was written around the female lead's growth. The emotional descriptions are very delicate, without being melodramatic, sentimental, or cheesy. I'm starting to wonder if the author actually works in this field.
