   The first male lead's authority is self-evident. "I can make her climb over everything I have to get ahead, can you?" Zhao Zonglan is a very typical older man/father figure! The second male lead is also a very authoritative figure. He treats the female lead very well. After marriage, the female lead makes great progress under the male lead's guidance. The male lead always hopes that the female lead can gain power because of his power-oriented mentality. The female lead is incredibly smart, handling all kinds of relationships exceptionally well, and she's also very opinionated. She runs a school, helps other concubines, and so on. The male lead also lets her voice her opinions during discussions, then interjects just when she's about to miss something, thus shaping a perfect image for her – in short, he's incredibly authoritative. [Kiss][Kiss] (This is a Qing Dynasty palace novel, so some might not be comfortable with it). The third type is completely guided by the male lead, and the female lead is also very cute. Their relationship is described very delicately, with many satisfying moments. However, because it involves awakening consciousness and is a bit drawn out, some people might not like it. (I read all three books on a separate account, except for the second one, which had some accumulated reading time because it was serialized when I read it, making the overall reading time a bit strange 🤨)

    Hmm. It's probably a guiding type. The first book is about a male lead who likes the female lead, but because the female lead has a flaw in her destiny, they have a whirlwind marriage. The rest is also very good. The male lead guides the female lead to fall in love with him; there's an age difference of six or eight years, and the male lead's contrast is quite significant. The second book is a short story, which I also thought was very good. After reading it, all I felt was envy.
