   It's both bittersweet and refreshing. The bittersweet part refers to the male protagonist, while the refreshing part refers to the female protagonist. What's special is that the author portrays the female lead as an independent "head of the family," who is independent and upright, honest but kind (the kind of kindness that has great love, like taking out the imperial edict that her father risked his life to save the lives of the male lead and his son, whom she had never met before and who were dedicated to saving the people's livelihood). It's a piece of cake for the female lead. The male lead is handsome, strong, and tragically fated. He transforms from a refined and elegant young gentleman into a ruthless and powerful minister. He's also a male ghost, gloomy, and possesses a self-destructive madness. He marries the female lead twice, practically begging her to join his family. [Doge emoji] The plot is compelling, and the characters are well-developed. One of the author's strengths is that the characters have complex arcs, rather than being one-dimensional portrayals of powerful officials or ordinary female protagonists. It's also worth mentioning that the author portrays the female protagonist's honesty quite well; she's genuinely honest, but not foolish.

    Tyrant * Palace Maid This setting really resonated with me; the story was great before the tyrant's true identity was revealed. The portrayal of the male lead's emotional changes towards the female lead after his identity is revealed is somewhat forced and confusing, making it a bit of a letdown after a strong start. The second half of the story rushed through the plot like it was on accelerator; I think it could have been handled with more subtlety. Overall, it's above average; you can enjoy it as a sweet romance with no angst.
