Please Share Your Number One Historical Romance! I’m Out of Books to Read!
The Male Lead Is an Emperor with Many Consorts, but He Favors the Female Lead and Has Eyes Only for Her!
I’ve Been Obsessed with Palace-Intrigue Stories Lately. Ladies, Hand Over Your Books!
I've Been Into Palace Intrigue Lately 😍 Hand Over Your Top Palace Intrigue Picks!
Looking for books like "The Empress's Consort Is Cunning, and the Emperor Can't Resist Her". The leads don't have to be each other's firsts!!! They don't have to be each other's firsts!!! But the female lead must be clear-headed and strong, not weak. Some angst is fine. I like stories set in fictionalized historical worlds, as long as the plot is well-crafted and detailed, hehe.
Looking for a Story Where the Female Lead Is Awful but the Male Lead Still Loves Her
Something like Lee Sa-ra from The Glory: a thoroughly evil female lead, but the male lead still loves her. Ideally, he's a very virtuous person who knows how awful she is but loves her anyway and wants to set her straight.
Strong Female Leads with No Romance, Please 🙏🏻
Please stop recommending stories with romance in threads asking for no-romance stories! I'm begging you! No romance, no romance, no romance. Important things must be said three times. And please, no soft, cutesy girls who rely entirely on the male lead. I'm begging you 🙏🏻 Please check the tags 🙏🏻

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.

I once read a palace intrigue novel where the female lead was a neglected concubine's daughter. To change her situation, she planned to perform a dance associated with the current crown prince's mother at someone's birthday celebration. But the emperor took a liking to her, and she schemed her way into becoming his most cherished favorite. What was this book called?
Looking for a Quick Transmigration Novel Where the Female Lead Conquers Emperors, and Every Target Is an Emperor

This book portrays the relationship between the male and female protagonists with great delicacy, especially the emperor's suspicious nature. Unlike many novels of this genre, it doesn't rely heavily on the female lead's "halo" (a powerful, overly obsessive female lead role). The progression of their relationship is particularly well-done, from the emperor's initial interest to his deep love.
2021.4.5 00:13 This is the most realistic palace intrigue novel I've ever read, but I still feel a bit unsatisfied. If Xiao Jin hadn't died and had continued traveling the world with the female lead, it would have felt no different from those "novels that dare to write that" scenarios. I just didn't particularly like the part about Xiao Han later on. P. S.: I cried uncontrollably at the end. Why isn't such a good novel popular?! Why?!
The story is both brutal and captivating, and overall quite good. However, one thing that bothers me is the author's choice of "psychologist" as the female lead's past life profession. It's clear from the text that the author has a very limited understanding of psychology. Fortunately, it wasn't mentioned much in the text.
This book is truly well-written, vividly depicting the intrigue and power struggles among the women of the imperial harem. The author clearly understands these dynamics perfectly. I was also quite satisfied with the ending. It's just a pity the emperor died so young. It's really excellent; highly recommended!
It's super good! Pure palace intrigue, and the female lead is very intelligent, manipulating the concubines in the harem and rising to the top step by step. There's no overly strong female lead halo. I'm a very picky person, and this is the second book I've finished reading on Tomato Bookstore. The first one was "Deeply Affectionate Love," and the second one is this one. It has to be good, and the author's writing is also great. I hope they will publish more books in this genre.
What a shame the rating is so low! Fans of palace dramas shouldn't miss it. I'll definitely check it out! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
This is so well-written! None of the Qing Dynasty time-travel novels I've read in recent years are as good as this! Although it doesn't have a high score, I'd give it at least 9.9 out of 10—it's my number one! It's incredibly immersive! The only downside is that the Imperial Noble Consort's death at the end felt a bit rushed, haha.
The story is intricately plotted, with elements of seeking fortune amidst danger; it's superbly written.
To be honest, this is the second time I've read a pure palace intrigue novel, and it's even more intense than the last one I read. The female lead is also quite good—decisive, though occasionally a little confused, but all of that is understandable to me. She transforms from a naive girl into a cunning high-ranking concubine, and the various struggles along the way are very exciting.
This should be the best palace intrigue novel I've ever read. It's entirely about palace intrigue, and while it touches on the romance between the male and female leads, it doesn't dwell on it. After all, what kind of love exists in the palace? It feels very realistic. Secondly, regarding their romantic relationship, in my opinion, they only see each other as emotional comfort.
