You Act, I Act, and the Empress Leads the Grand Performance

As Empress of the Central Palace, It Is Naturally My Duty to Protect the Consorts

The Female Lead Is Favored Early On, Then Becomes the Emperor's Sole Favorite Later. Both Leads Are Smart.

Looking for books like The Noble Consort's Waist Is Soft and Alluring, and the Emperor Kisses It Every Day.

I'm Out of Books to Read! Desperately Need Some High-quality Recommendations!! 🙏

Any genre is fine! But it has to be completed. I recently finished several high-quality novels, and now I can't get into most other stories 😭

Pure Palace Intrigue, With Eight Hundred Schemes in Every Character's Head!!!

Smart Palace Intrigue, No One Gets Dumbed Down, and the Heroine Is Clearheaded and Cunning

I want books similar to Why Hasn't the Noble Consort Died Yet? Ideally, it should have the prose style of a historical romance, and the plot and characters must be good. Preferably no golden finger. Thanks to every sweetheart who rescues me from my reading slump~

Palace Intrigue, Pure Palace Intrigue, the Kind That Takes All Your Brainpower

Are there any pure palace-intrigue novels without reborn or transmigrate plots, and without an overpowered protagonist aura? Lately everything has been about transmigration and rebirth, and I’m sick of it.

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...

Palace Intrigue

Palace-intrigue stories where the heroine doesn't love the hero, like The King's Woman. Please recommend some!!!

Gong Douwen, Superior,

Don't be reborn, don't travel through time, the author's writing is good. It's the epitome of superiority. For example, the story of the palace maid's rise to the throne, the side concubine's rise to the throne, the maid's rise to the throne, the imperial concubine's rise through the ranks, etc.

Pure Palace Intrigue, with a Smart, Clear-Headed Female Lead Who Loves No One

A female lead who's not a self-sacrificing saint.

Not Both Virgins, Happy Ending, Palace and Household Intrigue

Since these are palace- and household-intrigue novels, don't recommend those idiotic stories that force both leads to be chaste only for the sake of it. The female lead should be smart, and preferably like the male lead without loving him.

I want something like *The Wise Don't Fall in Love, and the Noble Consort Won't Take Responsibility*.

Looking for Pure Palace Intrigue, With the Female Lead Already Empress at the Start, and No Requirement That Either Lead Be Inexperienced

I'm looking for books like After the Empress and Emperor Joined Forces, They Purged the Court. Basically, the heroine should be an empress from the start, with palace intrigue. A doting romance would be ideal, but angst is fine too. Preferably, the leads shouldn't be each other's first.

Looking for books like Willow in the Palace. I really can't handle male leads, ahhh! I just love stories about women helping each other!!!

Looking for Highly Rated Palace- and Household-intrigue Novels, Whether Set in the Original World or Featuring Someone Who Transmigrates.

I'd like a story where the female lead has sound values and her own ideas, and grows alongside her family. The male lead is optional.

Looking for Palace Intrigue Novels Where the Heroine Never Loves the Emperor

The female lead absolutely must not fall in love with the emperor. When I read palace-intrigue stories, I really don’t want romance. No mutual firsts, no romance plot, just the female lead building her career in the palace. Whenever the leads fall in love toward the end, I drop the story!!!

Palace Intrigue and Beauty Pageants, with a Gorgeous Heroine

High IQ Ceiling Gong Douwen

He has brains and knows how to use tricks. When necessary, he will pretend to be pitiful to make the emperor feel sorry for him. Don't be the only pamperer. Don't be both clean. If you get the upper hand in a palace fight, just be the only pamperer at the end.

Palace Intrigue With a Golden Finger, Satisfying Read

Any really satisfying palace-intrigue novels with a System?

Palace Intrigue Stories Where the Heroine Starts as a Low-Ranking Consort and Fights Her Way Up

Looking for books like *Palace Intrigue Begins Before the Imperial Selection*. I want a female lead who starts out as a low-ranking consort and fights her way up to become empress. The focus should be palace intrigue. The male lead treats her as a pastime at first, then falls in love with her later. At the beginning, he should be a normal emperor who shares his favor among the harem and is busy with state affairs,
