    Reader note

    This description perfectly hits the sweet spot of "bickering lovers" + "hilarious plot twists"! The funny girl brings her own atmosphere buff, able to stir up the court and uncover secrets with jokes; this "humor as a weapon" setting is incredibly appealing. Meanwhile, the aloof crown prince, despite his fierce verbal attacks, is probably already charmed by her unexpected cuteness—after all, who can resist a lively character who stirs up trouble while showering you with sweetness? The unconventional setting of "invincible at the 18th level of Qi Refining" is also captivating, breaking away from the traditional gradual progression of cultivation and creating a playful sense of "I'm ready to give up, but my strength won't allow it." Imagine, while others are struggling to break through even one level, the protagonist has just reached the 18th level and effortlessly solves problems that others couldn't handle with a wave of his hand—this contrast itself is full of laughs and satisfying moments. Add to that the gradual unveiling of the late empress's dynasty secrets through jokes, and the serious political intrigue suddenly becomes light and captivating, making you laugh while eagerly anticipating what clues are hidden in the next joke? Which bickering banter between this unlikely pair will accidentally reveal a sweet moment? Just thinking about it is addictive. Indeed, the combination of a funny girl and a cool prince is a natural fit for creating memorable scenes that are both funny and sweet!
