   This is a female-dominated, multi-male-lead novel that's incredibly good. The female lead is strong and alluring, decisive and ruthless, neither a saint nor a naive fool. There's no mindless, wish-fulfillment plot; it's all logically satisfying. All the characters are Homo sapiens. The female lead is meticulously plotting her revenge, while the male leads are all purely devoted, their hearts only for their prince!
