    Absolutely exclusive love, especially the second book, it's super great! The female lead in the first book is relatively low-key, but the male lead dotes on her exclusively. If you like books with obvious favoritism and the male lead completely protecting the female lead, you should check out the second book.

    The male lead is unfaithful, but he's not a pure emperor, which is normal given his status. However, once the female lead is in the picture, he only dotes on her. This is the kind of emperor I imagined. The harem is always under the emperor's control; there's nothing he can't know if he wants to. The female lead doesn't want palace intrigue, but she's very intelligent and not a naive or innocent character. It's definitely worth watching.
