   This is so good! It's the best palace intrigue novel I've ever read. Everyone is incredibly intelligent, each one more brilliant than the last. The female lead is super clear-headed and very clever. Unlike other palace intrigue novels where the protagonist is passively retaliating, she actively stirs things up. They say a woman can't stand firm without being ruthless, and this woman is ruthless enough to poison herself and then sit back and watch the drama unfold.
