Painting Bones Behind Vermilion Gates

I'm actually the first one! ✌🏻

I'm speechless at this synopsis. The female lead's so-called unspeakable secret... Apparently, the entire court of powerful officials already knows about it? Then, author, what kind of secret is this?

In the previous book, the male lead and supporting male character were brothers; one appeared wicked but was actually upright, while the other seemed virtuous but was actually sinister. My intuition during the previous book was that Li Zhao was the male lead, and I was right. This book also features two brothers who seem to be one righteous and one evil.

I'm posting this to increase the buzz since Qidian is having double monthly votes.

Which of this author's completed books would you recommend?

Congratulations! 🤭🤭🤭 I hope the new book reaches a wider audience and achieves even greater success! 🔥🔥🔥

I first learned about the author through Himalaya FM audiobooks, and today I saw the cover recommendation and decided to read the book. I usually read books as soon as they're released, rarely following them from the very beginning. The plot was tense from the start, and the story was truly captivating! Thumbs up 👍🏻

Congratulations on the new book release! 🎉 It's finally here! 🌹 It's been about a month since the announcement, and the new content is finally here today! 🤭🤭🤭

This work is quite different from the author's previous works; it's much more subtle. The writing style is still good, but the plot, while not as melodramatic as before, is so chaotic. The mystery is revealed right from the start, so how can the story continue?

I haven't figured out who the male lead is yet; the second brother seems a bit more likely, although I prefer the eldest.
