Guys, the female lead in an entertainment-variety-show story has to be funny. Are there any stories where the female lead isn't a comedian but is really strong? It doesn't have to be about the entertainment industry. My poor uncle is in a reading slump 😭

I like the scheming heroine very much. The most important thing is that there is no stiff Shuangjie like "the emperor is not close to women". She meets the needs of a normal emperor. I like it.
The story core is great. I really like scheming stories and scheming heroines. The heroine has no love brain and is very serious about developing her career line without seeking death. At present, there are more than sixty chapters, the IQ is always online, the plot does not drag out, and the harem story does not copy Shuang Jie mechanically, which is great. I didn't notice that it was a newly published serial novel, [crying]. If you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don't advance. Such is the case with the harem. ‼ ️Children who pursue double cleanliness should not read this‼ ️‼ ️‼ ️‼ ️‼ ️
Recommended by bookworms of ten years, the heroine has a normal mind and is not silly and sweet. This is not a big heroine. The plot is reasonable and the rhythm is well grasped. It is a book that I rate 9 or above.
This book is the top of the Gong Dou novels I have read recently. The plot is reasonable, the writing is very good, and the character of the heroine really impressed me. She concentrates on her career and is not interested in love. The author's views are also very upright. I am waiting for the update. I heard that if you don't follow up on the review, you will only get five points, so I will follow up on the review again. The author, please give it a try!
I'm currently catching up on updates, and it looks good. I hope that the heroine will be as clear-headed and understanding as she is now. I hope the author will update more, but it's not enough. I'll tell you quietly, the last novel I added to my bookshelf to read after fattening up has already been updated more than 700 times, and then I have forgotten about it. I hope it will serve as a warning and keep us updated with more updates [Thinking]
I finished reading it in one go and I'm still not satisfied! The author's writing skills are very good and his logic is very strong. Moreover, I like the character of this heroine very much, and I am looking forward to the next plot. Good luck to the author!
Beautiful! ! ! ! It's perfect for someone like me who likes the heroine to be sober and beautiful but not the emperor! In the harem novel, I know the emotional line of the heroine of Lei Emperor [crying] If the emperor loves the heroine, forget it, the heroine always feels a loss if she falls in love with the emperor [crying] [crying]
The female protagonist is intelligent and scheming, and it is very enjoyable to watch. Especially towards the end, the plot becomes more exciting. After watching the movie, I feel that the male protagonist will truly fall in love with the female protagonist in the end. In fact, I rarely read books about male protagonists and harems. I like 1v1. When Shuhuang saw good reviews, I casually clicked in and read it. After reading it, I couldn't go out. I read it one or two times every night and [I almost cried]. I didn't expect that after reading it, it was not the final story and was still being serialized. I felt so sad. Dad, have you heard my call? Please update quickly.
It's so good, I specially saved it until the end. This article perfectly captures all my fantasies about Gong Dou Wen. The heroine is super sober, unlike some women in Gong Dou Wen who actively call each other sisters and their maids, and she also has clear goals towards the emperor. She really loves him [send heart] [send heart] [send heart] [send heart]. There are also some who say that the heroine is cruel to the eldest prince and is not as sinful as her children [embarrassing] Laugh][Awkward laugh][Awkward laugh] Come on, this is a palace fight story. In a normal palace fight, who has no blood in their hands? Why don't they fight after the child is born? Why don't they give his mother a box lunch and keep the child with her to get back at you later?
It's good-looking, the heroine is scheming, not a virgin, very sober, the author's writing style is also very good, the environment is beautifully described, and the characters are full-bodied. I discovered a point: the concubine in the article particularly likes an action (tap your finger between the eyebrows [thinking])
