I want to see a concubine and the principal wife get along harmoniously, with the concubine even becoming her confidante. The concubine should be content with her place and enjoy a few small happinesses and comforts.

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.

No Rebirth, No Transmigration, No Golden Finger, Just a Classic Historical Romance With the Right Values
I want an ancient setting with palace intrigue and household drama. No one being reborn or transmigrating, and no System. I don't want an especially strong female or male lead. I like stories where the couple are evenly matched and the male lead is the crown prince. Both leads should be good-looking, intelligent, and have sound values!

Although it is not a double marriage, it may not meet the taste of most people, but I think the writing is very real. This is how people in the ancient royal family were. Not to mention the ancient men who had three wives and four concubines, but in the current monogamy, who can guarantee that they will love each other wholeheartedly. In short, I like this book very much. The heroine is not Nian Ainao, nor is she a white lotus.
The author writes very well. This novel is very well written and very realistic. Not every time-traveling woman will find perfect love. Especially if she travels to ancient times and wants to be a prince or emperor's woman, it is even more difficult for her to be a couple for the rest of her life. After all, men in ancient times paid attention to three wives and four concubines. Men are sentimental and unfeeling. Even talented poets such as Su Shi and Nalan Rongruo are even more so, and they even claim to be the children of the royal family. Therefore, this novel is written very realistically. I don't care because I don't love her, but how can I not have any feelings when we get along day and night? At the end of the novel, Yuer can't figure out why there is always something between the father, the emperor, and the queen. It's not that they don't love each other, but because they are too disappointed, and there will always be a gap. The heroine traveled from modern times, because she lives very clearly, and knows that the hero is unreliable, but the hero always touches the heroine inadvertently. The male protagonist may love the female protagonist, but he still has the late princess in his heart. Alas~ It's too complicated (・᷆ω・᷇)×No arrogance×
This book is quite good. In ancient times, there was so much true love. It is rare to see two people for a lifetime. In modern times, all you need is pampering. Pampering lasts a lifetime and love lasts a moment. Hoda's survival is the best choice.
This is the most authentic time-travel harem story. The heroine Ke Rong is very good, but she never fell in love with this scumbag. I also think that those few words before the hero's death are right. After all these years, although the hero is a scumbag, his kindness to Ronger is also real and difficult. It is natural for everyone to fall in love with him. Raising a dog can cultivate feelings, not to mention that a grown man has been with you for so long. Although he is also very good to other people, it is commendable that he has always been good to you. It is also true that you fell in love with him in the end. In the past, when I read harem stories like this, they were all about a male protagonist and a female protagonist. Although they looked good, they were unrealistic. I used to think Rong'er was so stupid. She could use her modern knowledge to change her own situation. Later I thought she was quite smart. If she really uses her modern knowledge to change scumbags and even benefit other people, it would be weird not to be treated as a monster. She might as well live her own life peacefully and survive until the end. Overall, this book is very real and beautiful. I used to fantasize about traveling back in time to change the poor situation in the past. After reading this book, I feel that I can't change anything. Men in ancient times had three wives and four concubines, and modern men also eat outside. Women now have ex-boyfriends, have sex with their ex-boyfriends, and even get pregnant out of wedlock and have abortions. This ruins yourself and your body. Don't expect to be a couple for the rest of your life. Isn't it good to have a good career?
This book should not be in line with what most people think of it, but it is precisely this story that is the most realistic look of the ancient palace. There is no one pair for life, but only continuous seduction and intrigue!
I stayed up late for several days to read it. Although I like the plot of two people for a lifetime, this story of a dog emperor having three wives and four concubines with no space or golden fingers is more realistic. Like the author👍🏻Like the comment section The author writes so well, why is the score not high?
It's wonderful. Although it's a stallion novel, the heroine of the concubine is very similar to how we live in today's society. Society is a big dyeing vat with all kinds of people. They won't disappear just because we hate them. What we have to learn is how to face it, how to avoid harm, etc. Where there are people, there is a world. The palace courtyard is just a small river and lake. Let's see how people live in it like a fish in water... Try to learn it, even if you can't... Haha🤔🤔🤔
It's pretty good. She's not a brainless time-travel girl. She's not a domineering and arrogant prince. She knows how to assess the situation, knows how to bend and stretch, and understands her current situation. It's more realistic. Life in ancient times is indeed not as written in brainless time-travel articles. Time-travel girls have their own halo. You have successfully caught my attention with this woman. Oh, she never accepts anything, what a fresh, refined and unpretentious woman. Ugh, I almost feel sick when I see this. The heroine in this article at least has some brains to wear it.
It's so good. It's not like other palace fight novels that are very long and protracted. This one is very concise, with everything that should be missing. I like it very much (the above is just my personal opinion, if you want to criticize it, then you are right)
In line with the setting of ancient emperors, it is not an ideal country to abolish the harem for one person, but it is the best. The writing style is very delicate, it is smooth and steady, and it is a novel that could have been read to the end.
