Notes:
1. The story includes some content on Wei-Jin metaphysics and requires a certain amount of background reading.
2. The heroine is not a good person. She has low moral standards and is hypocritical and cunning. If you have strict moral standards for heroines, this is not for you. The same goes for the hero.
3. The heroine has more than one boyfriend. If that bothers you, please don't read.
4. The story focuses on her career, with limited romance. The romance between the leads comes later, so don't expect too much from it.
5. The setting is closer to the Eastern Jin, while most characters are fictional and the official ranks and social customs lean toward the Western Jin.
Theme: Enjoy yourself while you can. Who knows what the future may bring.
