I Lay Low in the Palace, but the Empress Urges Me to Rebel

A very thoughtful book. The author puts the palace fight and the power fight in a reverse background of men and women. The plot advancement is concise and clear but organized. When he is not ①, he is writing poems and making soaps. The reversal of the characters is also interesting. The male protagonist is not the omnipotent type in the novel, and the rhythm of digging pits and solving puzzles is well controlled. The small flaw is why the empress fell in love with the male protagonist so quickly and offered her virginity. There is a missing logical point.
