More than anyone else, Lady Zhao strongly wanted this book to flourish. The romanticized version of Zhang Guorong had to be made known to the world. She wanted everyone in this world to know about this fantastic lady, even if she no longer walked on this earth. The world had to know this character, even if this was an improved, albeit romanticized version of a famous, deceased actress.
70% truth, 30% fiction were the most convincing lie possible. Creating a character who was perfect in every form with maxed out acting skills, would only result in boredom for the readers. As if we haven't read enough of those in novels. Some novels even categorized geniuses in different levels, such as regular geniuses, godly geniuses, lowly geniuses, etc. Geniuses and novels basically walked hand-in-hand, so how could they still end up stirring up hearts?
