This was my first time trying a story where the male lead is the only one with a "pure" character, and I thought it was pretty good, not too hard to accept. But he's incredibly doting on the female lead, so sweet and romantic! Author, keep up the good work!!! I'll always support you ❤️❤️❤️
It's a great read. Unlike previous palace intrigue novels, there are no misunderstandings and no angst. The male lead is incredibly kind to the female lead, doting on her, trusting her, and spoiling her until she becomes increasingly pampered. He dotes on her unconditionally.
So far I'm very satisfied. I love the exclusive doting, and the sweetness is just too much! The female lead is beautiful and knows how to be charming. When she's charming, the emperor's soul will flutter; when she sheds a tear, his heart will shatter. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, yet all the emperor's favor is bestowed upon her (an exaggeration, but it's true).
It's so good, so sweet and indulgent. Jiaojiao is just there to be pampered and doesn't need to do anything. The Emperor really paves the way for the female lead every step of the way, saying he will present her with the Empress's position cleanly so she won't get her hands dirty. It's so touching and so sweet. I wish there were some extra chapters. I feel like I haven't had enough.
It's so good, please update soon! 😢 The plot doesn't drag on. Although the male lead is an emperor with concubines in his harem, he treats the female lead very differently, spoiling and indulging her immensely. He's also quick to rescue her, practically always granting her requests. Overall, it's a really good story. Author, please update soon! Everyone can jump on the bandwagon! 😘
If you're just looking at the romance, it's sweet, but sometimes it throws in other elements. I really admire the reviews that say it's very sweet... The male lead dotes on the female lead but also sleeps with other women before finally becoming her exclusive lover. The eldest prince isn't even born to the female lead. Anyway, this story feels... Kind of... Sweet but not quite... Right.
It's so good! I'm quite picky about palace intrigue novels, but this one is totally my cup of tea. The female lead knows her strengths and weaknesses very well and knows how to use them effectively, which is great.
It's so good! A charming and clever little fox versus a cold on the outside but warm on the inside big wolf, and there's even a hint of eroticism in the exhaust fumes. I love it!
It's so beautiful! I stumbled upon this story by chance and have been eagerly awaiting updates every day ever since. I even find myself secretly imagining Jiao Jiao and Song Xuan's story from time to time. It's so good! This sweet romance has me hooked. The male and female leads are very well-developed, and there aren't any truly villainous characters. In short, it's a great read. I highly recommend it! Don't get too attached; you'll fall in love after just five chapters!
I love it so much! To be honest, the emperor's character is fantastic. He embodies both rationality and dignity befitting his status, and his doting on the female lead is also fitting, making me feel very comfortable, unlike some other instances where the doting is unconditional and without limits. 🥰😘💕👍
