I Don’t Understand!!! I Want Female-Protagonist-Centered Stories Where the Heroine Never Suffers the Slightest Grievance
Why are there none at all! Why are female-oriented novels all about "it's satisfying to torment the wife for a while, and even more satisfying to torment her forever" these days? Are novels where the woman is strong and the man is submissive really that hard to find? Does the heroine have to be brutally mistreated and still stay in love and act like a lovesick puppy? Desperately looking for stories where the man is devoted and chases after the woman.
What's With Tomato? Every Heroine Is a Comedic Character. Give Us Something Different

This is so good! It's the best palace intrigue novel I've ever read. Everyone's intelligence is incredibly high, one after another. With my IQ, I wouldn't even qualify to be a palace maid. I love the female lead so much! I hope she becomes an empress or even Wu Zetian. 🍉
I love this pure palace intrigue. The female lead is incredibly clear-headed and intelligent. Unlike other palace dramas where the protagonist is passively retaliating, she actively stirs things up. They say a woman can't stand firm without being ruthless, and this woman, when she gets ruthless, poisons herself and then sits back and watches the tigers fight.
I finished it in one night, and this is my favorite novel from Tomato. The female protagonist is rational and clear-headed, scheming and calculating, suspicious of others and plotting step by step. However, there is one flaw: the strict rules of the palace make her schemes too easy, and the emperor's suspicion of her is fleeting.
I haven't read pure historical romance novels for years, and this is the only old-fashioned story I've enjoyed so much! Five stars is a limit, but it's definitely not the limit for this book! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
It's quite good at the beginning, but you might get a little bored in the middle. However!!! This kind of thing gets more and more addictive the more you watch it. By the end, you really get into it, and it's really good. It's not a mindless story, really.
This is the best palace intrigue novel I've ever read. The female lead is incredibly intelligent; every plot is intricately linked to the next. Could a guy really write this? He's so talented! I'm also urging for more updates! [1000000000000000000000000…0000000000000000000] [Requesting frequent updates!]
This is the first time I've seen a male author write a palace intrigue novel, and he writes it incredibly well! It's just that there aren't enough chapters; I read the latest one so quickly, it's never enough! 😢 I hope there will be more chapters!
Family members!!! Who would have thought this novel was written by a gay man? There are absolutely no plot holes. The female lead is brave and resourceful, and the plot unfolds very clearly. From initially wanting to enter the palace to avenge her mother, to later wanting to slay the dragon, the transition is perfect, and the change in her mindset is also reasonable and well-founded.
Please! I'm tired of saying "it looks good" all the time! Although this book is only 100,000 words long, after reading it, I really feel that all the palace intrigue books I've read before are utterly weak! The female lead, Song Zhao, is truly beautiful and intelligent; everything is perfectly planned by her, which made me incredibly excited!
This book is so good! I initially started reading it because I saw in the comments that the author was a boy, but I was completely drawn in by the plot. The author is so meticulous, planting so many clues that you only realize what was foreshadowed when you reach the ending. I devoured this book for several days and even recommended it to my roommate, who also loved it.
