    This is a niche genre within the historical romance novel category, and I'm currently following the second volume. I really love the author's writing style—the gradual progression typical of historical romance novels, a refined and subtle style. The male lead rises from a weak scholar to become a favorite of the emperor, while the female lead transforms from a reserved and shrewd individual into a ruthless and decisive leader of the secret society. From a strong female lead to a powerful duo, the characters complement each other perfectly. Every supporting character could easily be a protagonist in themselves. From the harem to the martial arts world, then to the imperial court, and finally settling down to the common people, the setting is novel, the concept ingenious, the plot tight, and the story exciting! The story is full of twists and turns, and the later chapters fill in the gaps from the earlier ones. Everyone's intelligence is on point; it's truly a rare gem among historical romance novels!
