the first line:
It feels like I am surrounded by flowers.
I am grateful to this book for ...
a balance of royal court culture, love and personal growth.
notes:
-- this is a representation of the toxic world of the royal court, politics, betrayal, too many wives, too many children, and only one can be the first child to become the emperor, and how important it is to choose your empress
-- Eun Woo’s never been one for attention. She’s kept her head low in the palace ever since she first arrived, and all she’s focused on is doing a good job. Her peaceful life is broken, however, when the prince calls her to his bedroom. Lee Hyun is known for never having the same maid in his chambers twice, but Eun Woo keeps lingering on his mind. A story about a lonely prince and a lovely maid—will love make the prince’s wild eyes lose their sharp edge?
-- the development of Eun Woo and Hyun's relationship is not fast, and both of them come into it with trust issues, a rocky beginning and the genuine feelings, but both of them are so good to each other - not only did they care for one another but they also had mutual respect which I really liked.
-- the end was purrfect, main heroes are happy and together, the everyone who plotted their downfall got the endings they deserved, Karma is a bitch.
