The Epoch of Miyu

Jiejie’s Take
Ah, another historical drama where a dusty old book holds the key to the entire empire, because apparently, imperial guards are no match for library science. We get the classic contract alliance between a brooding prince who desperately needs a therapist and a genius noblewoman who is the only person in the capital with a working brain. I'm just here to watch them trade loaded glances over tea while the court politics drag on longer than my last relationship. Honestly, if deciphering ancient texts is all it takes to bag a handsome prince, I should have spent more time in the archives and less time swiping left!
