   I truly hate the sea and the sky. I loved and hated, but finally let go. When love has become a thing of the past, I even think it wouldn't be so bad if the male and female protagonists got back together after their power and status were reversed. Sigh.

   Both the female and male leads are stunning beauties! The female lead can be incredibly dramatic at times, *facepalm*, but the male lead loves her. He can be very aloof and distant at times, and they're a match made in heaven.

   For me, Mrs. Xiu's writing is a guarantee of quality; she has ideas and dares to write. The theme of "Lang Hui" is excellent, and the characters in the story feel like real, living people with genuine love and hate. I really like it. I look forward to her new works.

    The story of a princess from the previous dynasty who was sent to marry a foreign ruler and the founding emperor of the new dynasty; complex human nature and beautiful souls. Not recommended for those who like sweet romance and 1V1 relationships.

    If you like her, you should treat her like a treasure and hide her away. You can't let anyone know that you like her. The male protagonist in this book has a rather peculiar mind. The major plot twists later on are also astonishing.

    Curator note

    Authors willing to write about mature adult love deserve to be nurtured. The creative environment on platforms like Jinjiang (a Chinese online literature platform) isn't ideal. Ultimately, as long as a woman is independent and has a sense of self, and her choices are based on free will and wisdom, then she is a strong female protagonist. Marriage or childbirth shouldn't be the standard of judgment. Isn't our goal to give women more choices?

    Curator note

    This is a story about a man and a woman who see their true selves, confront their desires, and learn to love each other. The male protagonist is a powerful and capable person who is good at weighing the pros and cons, while the female protagonist is an insecure person who is adrift in the world. The tug-of-war between identity and emotion, and the apparent submission of the powerful person to love, are actually their process of constantly analyzing themselves and understanding their true selves.
