    ① The male lead is love-struck and dotes on the female lead. The female lead is similar to Wu Zetian in character. At the beginning, she deliberately seduces him, and he willingly falls for her. When she re-enters the palace, she is made a Noble Consort, attends the Empress's wedding, and is taught political maneuvering, given power, and favoritism, allowing her influence in both the court and the harem. Two quotes from the male lead: "Perhaps some are after your beauty, perhaps some after your status, perhaps some after your interests, perhaps some are after nothing but simply enjoy watching the flowers bloom. You must get used to it." "You don't believe in love, that's okay. Because I don't want to give you a gilded cage, I want to give you the sky. You must get used to all my unconditional kindness towards you. My goodness, male lead, don't fall too much in love! ② The female lead is a truly favored concubine, and the male lead openly and honestly favors her.

    The male lead is utterly in love with the female lead, and he loves only her, no one else. The female lead is a bit silly. At the beginning, the male lead is a little defensive because the female lead doesn't want to enter the palace after her rebirth, which makes him seem a bit strange. I thought it was okay, though. The couple's flirtatious banter is sweet and sour, but I saw some negative comments. If you want to see pure sweetness, skip to the part about rescuing the emperor during the winter hunt (the male lead stages a scene to allow the female lead to legitimately enter the palace and save the emperor—it's so satisfying!). It's super sweet there!
