    This is a single-female protagonist story featuring numerous original poems and puns on character names, written with subtle foreshadowing. The author excels at using hidden meanings, weaving tales of family rise and fall, and individual tragedies. It explores themes of betrayed kindness, redemption and enlightenment, pure love, and intrigue within the court. At first glance, it seems to be about emotion; upon closer inspection, it reveals logic, its deeper meaning revealing hidden backgrounds. I encourage everyone to enjoy it; please feel free to offer criticism and suggestions. It's free anyway, so why not give it a check it out? 😳
