Notes:

1. This is a traditional palace struggle novel. The male lead does not disperse the six palaces, and those who mind can leave. The male lead gradually develops feelings for the female lead as they interact. The female lead remains clear-headed throughout. (The author does not support female rivalry or harem settings.)

2. The story’s pace is relatively slow, with a focus on the female lead’s perspective and a touch of micro-group portraiture.

3. The main character is not perfect and not entirely good. Please refrain from casual criticism. <<less
