In a Reading Slump With High Standards, Preferably Ancient Romance, Thank You 😊
I have high standards and don't like melodramatic plots. I'm looking for an ancient-era romance. Please avoid the trope where the male lead chases his wife after losing her.

Looking for novels with a protagonist who’s almost supernaturally clever and skilled at political maneuvering. A System or not is fine, and a female lead or not is fine, but I don’t like protagonists who think with their pants. I’m begging you, great masters!!!
Are There Really No Empresses in the Palace Fics With Intelligent Characters?
I mean, even a wish-fulfillment story shouldn’t be mindless wish fulfillment. Can palace-intrigue stories give us a smart female lead for once? (And an author who knows what they're doing.) The female lead's plot armor makes everyone except the readers stupid 😅😅😅

After reading the original novel, I felt the TV series was truly excellent. It removed a lot of unnecessary content. In the original work, Consort Hua was genuinely domineering, the Empress was genuinely cunning, the Emperor was genuinely unworthy of love, and An Lingrong was genuinely adept at feigning weakness.
The novel is much more nuanced than the TV series, and since I watched the TV series first, the imagery is much stronger, especially the portrayal of Mei Jie, which is simply breathtaking. The TV series cut some scenes, while the original novel is richer, and the rise and fall of the concubines is very clear; both have their own unique charm.
After reading the original novel, I suddenly understood An Lingrong.
I read the original novel before the TV series aired, and I felt it differed somewhat from this version, with some parts being deleted or altered. I felt it wasn't as good as the previous version. It's easy to give up on a TV series after reading the book, although the series is also very good. After all, you can use your imagination when reading a book, but overall it's a very good book. However, I couldn't get into Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 🤦
I watched it once before but not carefully, so I watched it again now. The TV series adaptation is a conscientious work; the adaptation is better, and the characters are less complicated.
It's very good; the character portrayals are very detailed, and you can understand why each person does what they do. I still suggest not harboring too much malice towards the characters in the book, and not attacking other readers because of it. No one is perfect, and the novel may reflect the mentality of a certain type of person.
While watching, some actors' voices would automatically pop into my mind, especially Zhen Huan, whose voice I could hear was Ji Guanlin's. So I don't understand why the rating is lower than that of fanfiction. There were two parts that particularly touched me while watching. "Then wasn't I ruthless enough to kill Yu Shi and Hua Fei? Whether I'm kind or ruthless, you've seen it all." "
It's very good. The original novel is better than the drama. The changes to An Lingrong's storyline in the drama were really bad. It almost made people think that An Lingrong liked Zhen Huan.
Good books seem to always offer new insights with each reading, and there are always different interpretations. Each person's perspective is valid. Life is often a source of regret, whether it's Zhen Huan, who endured to become Empress Dowager, or An Lingrong, who died young—each character is vibrant and truly worth reading.
I don't know why, I only watched a little bit and didn't finish it. What I want to say is that Xuan Ling never loved anyone, including Chun Yuan and Shi Lan; he only liked them. Liking is to admire freely, while love is to tolerate with restraint. Xuan Ling loves Chun Yuan, but that doesn't stop him from loving Shi Lan, nor does it prevent him from loving many other people.
