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.

Looking for something like Zhaohua's Chaos. Rated 9.5 or higher! The female lead should be a concubine's daughter who gradually rises from a low rank, or works her way up in the prince's household. She should be clear-headed, have no love for the emperor or prince, be ambitious, ruthless, and quick to avenge herself. And she has to be smart, smart, smart! She pretends to be a pushover and then...

It's good to read. I've been looking for high-quality palace battle stories recently. What kind of harem story does Shuang Jie need? Intrigue and intrigue are good, and this one is just right. The palace battle is rich in content, the heroine rises quickly, the queen dies early, the heroine can flirt with dogs, and the emperor is shy. This is simply not great, okay? Come on, author, I'll update more, I'm optimistic about you [Sending my heart]
It is a good harem novel. The heroine is sober and has no affection for the emperor. From some details, we can see that the hero and the emperor seem to have affection for the heroine. For example, they only have other postures with the heroine. When the imitator Wan Fei and the heroine step on beads at the same time and are in danger, the emperor picks up the heroine without hesitation. Another example is the emperor's nervousness and heart-wrenching when the heroine almost gave birth to Xiaoba, etc. Although he seems to be affectionate, it does not prevent him from doting on others. Perhaps the feudal emperor did not dote exclusively in his heart, or perhaps it was to protect the heroine. But no matter what, as a new era woman, we don't want the heroine to fall in love with a man who has many women. Therefore, I hope that the heroine will always know her position - the target queen mother!
It is rare to see an article where the heroine is sober and has a relaxed palace fight. It is not very depressing. The heroine and the emperor feel very happy when they get along. It is a good article. I hope the author will update it soon.
It's an enjoyable book. I have to admire the author's ability to remember people's names and positions. Sometimes I can't remember who it is [facepalm] If you want to watch a heroine or a complicated palace fight, this is not it.
The novel is very exciting. The palace fight must look like a palace fight. Don't worry about the heroine's time travel or something. Since you have traveled to the ancient palace, use your advantage to be the final winner. Don't ask for double virginity or anything, otherwise the palace fight drama will be uninteresting. The author is great, but it's just not enough! Hope there will be more updates! Wish you: Great success in your work and all the best! [Please update]
It's really good. Sixth Palace Fendai is indeed the barrier between the two of them, but it doesn't matter. Even if there is only three points of love, decades of acting are enough. No one can surpass the relationship between them. In the next life, Qin Chen will probably be a woman. Xuejian Bazuo can just marry him and go home. I hope they can be a couple for the rest of their lives in their next life. Finished with flowers. ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑
The most suitable one for me is Gongdou+System+Shengziwen. The system does not appear often but has complete functions (can buy various skills and talents). There are also many children (five sons and one daughter). The male and female protagonists together are sweet, exciting (there are many cars) and funny. It's really beautiful and I love it.
This book is in line with the historical trend. The male and female protagonists have online IQs throughout. It is not only a love story, but also a strategy. It made me feel the strong atmosphere of palace fighting. Every incident is interconnected and rigorous, and there is nothing unreasonable. All in all, this is a novel worth reading.
The writing is witty and pretty, and I enjoyed watching it from the beginning, but the ending was a bit unpleasant. The heroine took the initiative towards the hero. In the end, she supported the hero as before and often praised him. The hero cuckolded the heroine so many times. I think it would be better to torture the heroine at the end. There is also the fact that although the heroine is not as good as the Holy Mother, she feels that she is not ruthless enough. She has never taken the initiative to retaliate against the bad guys who deal with her. She always waits for someone to kill her before using her strength. For example, she knows who is plotting to kill her, but she does not take the initiative to investigate and deal with the apparent murderer every time, while the main messenger goes unpunished.
I finally read a good book again. It's a time-traveling book that's pretty good. It's funny and there are plots, but the punishment for concubines doing bad things is too light. The most important thing is that the heroine is always sober, which is great.
