   1 "Phoenix Quan" combines power strategy and female growth. The heroine Feng Zhiwei comes from a humble background but works hard at every step, dealing with disputes between the court and the royal family. There is no golden-fingered counterattack in the book. Every decision is hidden with calculations. The layout of party struggles in the court and the royal family's struggle for heirs are interlocking. The game of interests between the characters is real and cruel. It is a masterpiece full of classical power and intrigue. 2 "Crane Huating" uses delicate writing to describe the struggle of Prince Xiao Dingquan under the pressure of imperial power. The story has no clichés, and the protagonist is always trapped in the vortex of the emperor's suspicion and the intrigues of powerful ministers. Through the complex character relationships and the foreshadowing of the shady plot, it shows the coldness of the power struggle under the feudal dynasty and the fragility of human nature. It is sad to read.
