2. The heroine is a universal heartthrob, and then some.
3. The historical records describe the heroine's "normal history," without her golden finger.
4. The male lead has not been decided. The story will involve one woman and multiple men, and the ending may be one-to-one or independent.
5. This is a slow burn. The early chapters focus more on palace life, while the later story shifts to farming and infrastructure.
