   Reader note

   Combining the elements of martial arts, revenge, and palace intrigue, the readability rating and current readership are readily apparent. The first book focuses on quick transmigration and power struggles; regardless of the situation, the female protagonist prioritizes her mission and carefully plans. The second is a system novel, but the system's presence is weak; the female protagonist does possess some abilities. The third focuses on crime-solving, with the group leader returning and the female official taking on a new role; she appears poised to become very powerful later, defeating her father, the regent, but the writing is weak and difficult to read. The fourth book features a female protagonist whose character is appealing, the plot is decent, but the writing is weak. The fifth is not bad, with a touch of classic male-female romance, but it's a bit verbose.

    This is the book. The writing is beautiful, a classic ancient romance with a feel reminiscent of old-school period dramas. It's really good. The female lead is the daughter of a prime minister, forced to separate from her childhood sweetheart and becoming the crown princess. The male lead's parents were persecuted, and he grew up in the borderlands, becoming a cunning and vengeful man. The second male lead is a sickly, scheming, and mad emperor. The third male lead is the male lead's brother, originally a Kunlun slave who later becomes the King of Ten Thousand Slaves. The fourth male lead is a prince from a foreign land. Besides the main couple's tragic love story, the emotional stories of the supporting characters are also moving and poignant. Highly recommended! It's incredibly vivid, with rich and delicate emotions. It was only approved after multiple rounds of review and the deletion of 30,000 words. Not recommended for readers under 18.
