Reader note

I highly recommend these two books, both of which are highly intelligent and do not fool people into fighting in the palace. The first one is a palace battle essay written by a boy. The heroine is sober from beginning to end and knows what she wants, not the Virgin. The heroine of the second book is the emperor Bai Yueguang, who has been in a high position from the beginning and has a superior family background. There is also no talk of emotions throughout the whole process.

It's really my first time recommending this, it's so beautiful! The more I look back, the more I realize that the female protagonist is not simple, smart and sincere, and the male protagonist is one of the best young masters in the family. Their love is different from the ancient stories I have read before, and it is very touching. The male protagonist can really empathize with the female protagonist personally (to a very personal level). Anyway, super pretty! A must see!
