Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System
I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).

I think this book is really great. In other novels, the male and female leads just get together casually, constantly being all lovey-dovey, which isn't very interesting. In this book, the romance develops naturally and logically. Love should be a slow and steady stream; that's what makes it genuine.
This is absolutely amazing! The author's writing is superb, and it's definitely worth reading. It's a rare gem among Tomato's books. I personally love short stories, and this one is concise, engaging, and incredibly enjoyable. Definitely worth jumping on the bandwagon, ladies!
Personally, I think this is a rare gem of a novel (I feel the rating is a bit low). The plot is absolutely brilliant, especially the political intrigue; the events are intricately linked and captivating. I also really liked the female lead's family atmosphere – there was no backstabbing or infighting, just a relaxed and harmonious family dynamic, without any sibling rivalry or feuds, which made…
It's a good read. Just when I was about to give up, there were always plot points that kept me reading. It's quite magical. I guessed the male lead's identity a long time ago, but the female lead's identity surprised me a bit. Overall, it's a novel with a strong sense of suspense.
It's pretty good, a happy ending. I really liked the male and female leads; Qi Huai and Ming Qing are both very intelligent, which is the kind of character I like. However, I felt the happy ending was a bit forced. But let me clarify beforehand, I personally prefer bad endings and don't really like the male lead sacrificing the throne for the female lead.
Excellent! The main characters' love story is fantastic, and the supporting characters' relationships are also wonderful. What moved me most was the patriotism and unwavering love between Fang Shi and Cheng Mu in the epilogue. Keep up the good work, author! 😘
The author is releasing many new books! This story has a great premise, and the character identity transitions are excellent; regardless of their backgrounds, the characters are well-matched, as if it were destined to be so. The romance develops gradually, and I read it from cover to cover, leaving me wanting more. The ending is very satisfying, and the author's writing is excellent.
This book is really good, I don't know why no one reads it. The female lead is also very likable; she knows how to hide her flaws, pretends to be weak to outsmart others, and isn't a saint. The family atmosphere is also very good, with no palace intrigue.
The sisters are harmonious, their parents dote on them, they're a couple who are good at acting, they play dumb to outsmart each other, they're both intelligent, the female lead isn't a saint, she's decisive and ruthless, and the two have already fallen for each other while testing each other (acting). I thought they would separate in the end, but unexpectedly, the male lead chose love over power. The older sister is also great, career-oriented.
Wow, that was fast! I finished listening in just half a day, it's not enough, not enough at all! 🥺🥺 I almost gave up when I saw the female lead and Yan's ambiguous relationship in the beginning, but then I found out that this was the male lead's other identity, it was so interesting!
