    1. You all probably know about "The Lost Tomb," right? I didn't expect it to be available on Tomato TV. The TV series of the same name is also out recently, so I recommend it. 2. I've been watching this recently. What attracted me to the first half was that the female lead's image really fits the image of a lady from a noble family in ancient times. Moreover, the matriarch is also a reasonable person, unlike those who blindly support strangers and oppose the female lead. When I got to the later part, I felt that the climax of the novel was actually in the second half. I never thought that the author could portray each character so deeply. In the face of national righteousness, noble sons bravely stepped forward, scholars and generals were not afraid of death, and even women in the inner quarters would make plans. Everyone was making the right choices. Even a character like Jiang Xingjian, who was portrayed as selfish in the early stages, showed the demeanor of a noble family descended from a military family at that moment.
