After all, one was a powerful official holding military authority, and one was a highly trusted aide of the emperor.
The story is filled with schemes and court politics. In the spectrum of "how complicated the politics in this book is", I'd place it somewhere in the middle. I think that it might get overwhelming for someone who doesn't like such stories, but isn't that heavy for someone who is used to historical novels with such themes.
This was more like a 4.80, 4.85 stars but I just can't help to round it up because I just adore this book and the main couple! The con of this novel is that while I do think the translation is beautiful, there are some moments when I couldn't tell which speaker is currently speaking the dialogue. It's not that much, but just enough to confuse and bother me.
