Any Stories Where the Heroine Transmigrated Many Years Ago?
Historical romance. The female lead transmigrated here many years ago and has already built up her own power base. Both leads are strong. Please, please!
The Heroine Isn’t the Legal Wife, but the Hero Spoils Her Rotten
Looking for books similar to The Delicate Noble Consort Has Her Ways (also known as: The Wise Don't Fall in Love, and the Noble Consort Won't Take Responsibility). The male lead should dote on and protect the heroine, but she shouldn't be a naive, airheaded sweetheart.
Palace Intrigue with Open, Unabashed Favoritism and Exclusive Devotion
Looking for books similar to The Beautiful and Soft Lady-in-Waiting Is Spoiled Endlessly by the Cold-Blooded Crown Prince. Palace intrigue or entertainment-world crossovers are both fine. I want open, obvious affection, not a heroine who's a target in plain sight. From the start, she should be the favored one, preferably the only one he favors. Ideally, once he has or falls in love with the heroine, they should both be sexually inexperienced.

Books about Kangxi, Yongzheng, or Qianlong, and no other emperors. Kangxi is preferable, of course. I haven't seen many Kangxi books on Tomato Novel, so Yongzheng is my second choice, and Qianlong comes last.
Looking for Real Palace-Intrigue Dramas, No Need for Mutual First-Timers
I really don’t understand why people insist on both leads being virgins and still call it a palace-intrigue drama. If both leads are virgins, it’s not even palace intrigue anymore. Please recommend some real palace-intrigue dramas.
Palace Intrigue! The Heroine Is Clear-Headed and Works Hard to Have Children and Rise in Rank!

Although it's not a story about two virgins, which might not suit most people's tastes, I felt it was written very realistically. That's how people in ancient royal families were. Not to mention the multiple wives and concubines of ancient men, even with the current monogamous system, who can guarantee that they love their partner wholeheartedly? In short, I really like this book. The female lead isn't love-obsessed or a naive white lotus.
The author writes very well; this novel is excellent and very realistic. Not every time-traveling woman finds perfect love, especially in ancient times where becoming a prince's or emperor's woman makes it even more difficult to find a lifelong monogamous relationship.
This book is quite good. In ancient times, there wasn't much true love, or a lifelong commitment to one person. It's rare even in modern times; as long as someone is pampered, that's enough. Pampering lasts a lifetime, love is fleeting. For Huo Da, living was the best choice.
This is the most realistic time-travel harem novel. The female lead, Ke Rong, is exceptionally kind and never loved this scumbag. I also agree with her final words before the male lead's death. Over the years, although the male lead was a jerk, his kindness towards Rong'er was genuine. It's no wonder Rong'er fell in love with him; it's only natural.
This book may not fit most people's expectations, but it is precisely this kind of story that is the most realistic portrayal of the ancient court. There are no monogamous couples, only endless seduction, intrigue, and deception!
I stayed up for several nights in a row to finish reading it. Although I like the "one love, one life" trope, this story without any special abilities or cheat codes, and with the emperor having multiple wives and concubines, feels more realistic. Thumbs up for the author! 👍🏻 Thumbs up for the comments section! The author writes so well, why isn't the score high?
It's fantastic! Although it's a harem novel, the concubine protagonist is so relatable to life in today's society. Society is a melting pot, filled with all sorts of people. They won't disappear just because we dislike them. What we need to learn is how to face them, how to avoid getting hurt, and so on. Wherever there are people, there's a world of intrigue.
It's quite good. The transmigrated female lead isn't a brainless, eccentric character, and the prince isn't a domineering, arrogant, or silly fool. She understands how to assess situations, how to be flexible, and how to bend over backwards. It's relatively realistic; surviving in ancient times isn't like in those mindless transmigration novels. The transmigrated female lead doesn't have a halo.
It's so good! Unlike typical palace intrigue novels that are long and drawn out, this one is very concise, with nothing missing. I really like it. (The above represents only my personal opinion; if you want to criticize, then you're right.)
It fits the mold of an ancient emperor; it's not an ideal country where the harem was abolished for one person, but it's still the best it can be. The writing is delicate, engaging, and flows smoothly, making it a novel you can read to the end.
