    The heroine made a bet with the world's consciousness that even if she was oppressed in ancient times, she would never forget her original intention, which was to return to modern times. Moreover, in the face of the injustice of fate, which is the obstruction of the heroine by the consciousness of the world, she breaks through time and time again and lives a different life in a limited environment. I always thought that being a queen in ancient times meant having equal status, but the heroine has always been very clear-headed. Everything is just charity from the superior, and a slave will never fall in love with his master! The basis for love is institutional equality. Only when both parties are qualified to play can they talk about love. No matter how charming the male protagonist is, the ancient female protagonist will never fall in love with the male protagonist, but only respect him.
