Peach Blossom Edict

First of all, I have no problem with the author's book. I've voted for it and given it a reward. The writing is good, the emotions are delicate, and the clash of viewpoints between men and women is accurate and insightful. It depicts a brave and kind woman from an ordinary family who is opinionated, has her own views, and insists on her own principles.

I don't understand. How can a servant with a contract of servitude do such a thing to deceive his master, and yet he's so hesitant to deal with him?

The writing is good, and the plot is reasonable and compact.

I cast all the recommendation votes I had.

Only a favored daughter can talk back to her father with impunity.

I really dislike this kind of female lead. Maybe it's because I live in reality and can't escape it.

Is this a clean romance novel with both characters being virgins? Or is it a 1v1 story? I'm worried about the possibility of concubines or something later on.
