   Excellent, absolutely amazing! It's like luring your beautiful wife in to kill her, or perhaps it's an ancient person's self-awakening. In a way, it's actually a no-romance story (the female lead doesn't love the old emperor).

   I love the non-human female lead so much, so I'm giving it extra points. There should have been some revenge and humiliation scenes, but the female lead doesn't care at all because she's non-human and completely clueless, which makes the plot much more enjoyable. However, the male lead isn't just a background character, so I didn't finish watching it.
