    This is primarily a female-centric, empowering story. The heroine is intelligent and courageous in the beginning, but a male lead appears later. I listen to it while doing other things when I'm bored, and it doesn't waste any time. The relationships between the characters are very clear, and the logic is coherent. I love stories with depth. The heroine is incredibly capable, possessing medical skills, and the male lead is also very clear-headed. The relationship between the heroine and the supporting female character is also harmonious; it's not a mindless power struggle but rather a story of suppressing each other with strength. There are constantly new characters and specific elements introduced, making it very fresh. It's constantly being updated, which I really enjoy. I highly recommend everyone check it out: *The First-Class Poisonous Consort*
