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.

Are There No Good Palace-Intrigue Novels Left in the World?

Are there any palace-intrigue novels where the female lead never falls in love with the male lead from beginning to end, while the male lead loves her deeply?

Palace Intrigue and Entering the Palace Through a Selection

Ancient-style romance. Transmigration or not, either is fine. Something that makes you think, where the female lead rises from a low-ranking palace position to a high one. The leads don't have to be each other's first.

Scheming Palace-Intrigue Stories With a Reborn Heroine Who Starts Plotting Before the Selection

Palace Intrigue and Beauty Pageants, with a Gorgeous Heroine

The Female Lead Enters the Palace and Takes the Harem Rivalry Seriously. She’s Rational and Becomes a Favored Consort. No Angst

I want a palace-intrigue story with a level-headed female lead. She can fall in love, but she shouldn't let love hold her back.

Any Fresh Takes on Palace Intrigue? I’ve Read So Many Palace-Intrigue Novels on Tomato

Please Recommend Good Palace Intrigue Stories

I want palace-intrigue stories, not fluffy romances wearing palace intrigue as a disguise. Something like One Hundred Tricks to Win the Emperor in the Harem, the first palace-intrigue novel I read on Tomato, or Consort Shu and Rise Through the Harem.

Palace Intrigue Novels, Especially Ones Like The Willow Behind the Palace Walls

I'm out of books to read and want some palace-intrigue novels. Nothing too angsty, please, or I won't be able to handle it. I'd also love stories about a harmonious imperial harem, like Willow in the Palace Wall.
