Looking for a Normal Palace-Intrigue or Household-Intrigue Story
Are there any palace intrigue novels where the female lead doesn’t love the emperor, and the emperor doesn’t love only her either? I feel like the heroine and emperor in these stories are more like an employee and a boss. How could they possibly be in love?! Ideally the female lead shouldn’t be stunningly beautiful or rely on her looks alone.

The female protagonist is the emperor, and she's afraid of the powerful ministers.

The author's writing is truly superb! The male and female leads have very distinct personalities, and their interactions are lighthearted and funny. It's rare to find such a delightful novel, so I'm writing this review. I hope the author receives a high score and continues writing to the end!
There are no major flaws in this book, and I think it's very enjoyable. It's just that there aren't many books of this type that are written in a comfortable and enjoyable way, so this one is truly worth reading. The male and female leads are both well-developed characters. The setting isn't overly elaborate, and the plot is both simple and exciting. It's been a long time since I've come across such a pleasant story.
Generally speaking, there are no major issues, and it's quite enjoyable without being too long. However, those who dislike romance novels with BL elements should avoid it, as there are some scenes involving those themes.
Not bad, I saw the update right away!!! Author, keep it up ^0^~, I can't wait for the next chapter 😎😎🤔🤔 [Learned it][Learned it] 🤭🤭
It's so good! I can't wait for the sequel! What?! I can't wait! 😳 The author has such a positive outlook! [Please update more frequently!]
Wow, it's so good, haha, and so funny too! Highly recommend it! It was hilarious when the male and female leads weren't on the same wavelength! The male lead was about to make a heartfelt confession, but the female lead thought it was a brotherly vow, hahaha!
It's pretty good, not too long, so you can finish it before you get tired of it 🤦
It's a heartwarming little story, short and well-paced, with no annoying female supporting characters, and both leads are virgins. The female lead is gentle yet clever, a bit oblivious to romance in the first half, but the male lead uses the excuse of friendship to explain why she doesn't understand. Initially, she's not used to the world and wants to run away, but this is a transitional period, so new readers shouldn't be impatient.
It's pretty good, quite good, with rich content and well-developed male and female leads. The female lead's style is a bit different in the early episodes compared to the later ones. She initially seems like a brave and resourceful ruler, but after her escape, she appears hesitant and indecisive, lacking the qualities to shoulder great responsibilities.
I'm giving this book a five-star review out of habit. It's pretty good. I personally think the plot is rich and engaging. It's a romance novel with a focus on career development. The female lead was originally from ancient times, but her body was taken over and lived in the modern world for a while.
