   Reader note

   This is one of the few novels I've read from cover to cover, and it's truly excellent. The female lead, Xiao Wangshu, and the male lead, Chen Chu, are a perfect match. The female lead is resourceful, intelligent, meticulous, and ambitious—I really love ambitious female leads! The male lead deeply respects and supports her, always being her support, her safe haven, and her pillar of strength. Some of the details about the male lead are very touching, and their relationship feels very genuine. Also, this book doesn't just focus on romance. Although it features treacherous officials, it doesn't depict national chaos. For example, characters like Xiao Pingnan, Xiao Dingbei, and Xiao Zhenxi—just their names evoke a strong sense of patriotism. Overall, it's a really good read.
