The female lead, like a true older sister, is clear-headed, intelligent, and comes from a background somewhat reminiscent of An Lingrong (a notorious concubine in Chinese literature). The male lead isn't just blindly doting on her; he's genuinely considerate and empathetic. Many in the harem only realize the emperor's feelings after the fact. Moreover, while the emperor believes himself to be the superior, he's actually completely controlled by our sister. She only opens her heart at the very end.
