Any Stories About Domestic or Palace Intrigue Where the Female Lead Is the Official Wife From the Start?
Nothing with OOC background characters, and no silly, naive, doted-on heroines who rely on men. I want a story where the legal wife’s position is secure and she knows exactly what she wants. (I really don’t enjoy The Daily Life of the Mistress of the Household, so please stop recommending it.) I don’t like stepmothers either...
Looking for Good Classical Chinese Romance Novels Set Among Aristocratic Families, with Household Intrigue and No Idiotic Characters
Looking for a purely historical romance. The male lead comes from a prominent clan and is ambitious. The female lead is his wise, dignified legal wife. I want a domestic-strife story about the two of them managing the family together.

Looking for Inner-Court and Palace-Intrigue Stories With Smart Heroines
I want something like The Story of Minglan! 1️⃣ No heroines who are constantly sneaking out in disguise as men under a feudal system, while everyone is somehow too blind to notice. 2️⃣ The villains should be smart. 3️⃣ If the heroine is lowborn, please don't have her marry a prince or emperor. That kind of thing.

!! Any Palace-Intrigue Stories Where the Consorts Help One Another? Please, I Need Recommendations!

The Concubine’s Mother Catches the Eye of Someone from the Capital
I can't remember if the heroine was reborn or transmigrated. Her mother was a concubine in a wealthy family. A high-ranking official came to the capital and saw her mother kneeling in punishment at the ancestral shrine. He thought she looked delicate and alluring, and fell for her at first sight. The head of the family gave the concubine to him to curry favor. When the heroine was a little over ten, she went to the capital and met a frail prince.

It's a very good and refreshing article. It's just the right length. It's not like many otaku fight articles that are stinky and long. It's a combination of palace fighting and otaku fighting. The world view is very complete. It's just that the emotional line between the male and female protagonists is a bit lacking, and they suddenly become deeply in love, which is a bit abrupt.
The male and female protagonists are ruthless and smart, and they only like each other. The female protagonist is very sensible, not a heartthrob, and does not have an affair with the prince. She handles the scumbag very happily, and the plot is not procrastinating and makes people keep watching.
The scores of tomatoes are really countless. [Laughing evilly] Originally, with such a low score, I felt that it could not be a masterpiece. It turned out to be really fragrant. [Shocked] The pace is fast and not laggy, and there aren't that many weird and weird things that you have to do. What's more is the gentle and silent expression of true feelings. Sisters, you won't lose money by investing in shares!
It's good-looking, clean and neat, simple and crude, revengeful, thoughtful and fast-paced. It's worth recommending.
It's not long. I read it all in one go. Structurally speaking, it's relatively complete. It's ok in terms of intrigue and so on. Although it's not very sophisticated, it's quite satisfactory. The female protagonist and male protagonist are quite likable, and the writing and logic are all on point. Although the plot is a little thin, I think it's still worth watching.
The rating is not high, but I personally think it is quite good-looking. The heroine is neat and tidy, and it is easy to get rid of her husband's family. The only regret is that the heroine did not take revenge with her own hands. Although the fate of the scumbag man and the former husband's family is partly due to the heroine's calculations, it does not highlight the heroine's methods. The writing is subtle and not enjoyable to watch. It is not satisfying enough.
The plot is not draggy, the rhythm is tight, and there are no irrelevant and boring descriptions. It's just that the two daughters of the Mu family are too stupid, and the villain is so stupid and vicious, it's not fun enough to slap them in the face! The princes don't look very smart either, but fortunately the male and female protagonists are well portrayed.
Emma, the author's ending caught me a little off guard, but I must be the first to give a fair review. It's good-looking. The heroine is clear-headed and calm in her work. She works step by step. The heroine's resourcefulness is not inferior to that of men.
Very good, well written. The article is not long, the plot is good, the male and female protagonists are well designed, the heroine is neither a virgin nor cruel, and the revenge is very appropriate. The pursuit of the male protagonist is not like some novels, which deliberately include many chapters. It feels like the two of them are together, so suitable.
The writing is smooth, the villain in the house fight is too stupid, and the villain in the palace fight is also stupid. The fight is effortless and there are no twists and turns. There are tactics but it ends too quickly! I have been listening to the finale, passing the time, comforting the book shortage, you can read it
