Looking for Real Palace-Intrigue Dramas, No Need for Mutual First-Timers

I really don’t understand why people insist on both leads being virgins and still call it a palace-intrigue drama. If both leads are virgins, it’s not even palace intrigue anymore. Please recommend some real palace-intrigue dramas.

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 Novels Where the Heroine Becomes Empress Right Away and Gets a Happy Ending?

Are there any novels where the heroine becomes empress right from the start, with a decent ending? So many stories make her rise through the ranks one step at a time. I'd like to know if there are any like this.

No golden finger, no poison-doctor nonsense, just brains and political maneuvering. Transmigration or rebirth is fine. Let the romance develop naturally as the characters spend time together; no inexplicable love at first sight.

Inner-Household Scheming Stories with a Male Lead Who Has a Past

Looking for books similar to "After Transmigrating, the Concubine Stays in the Prince's Manor and Raises Her Baby (A Concubine's Daily Life)". Pure-couple household-intrigue stories don't feel true to the era. I want a male lead who's had previous partners, and who puts power first. The heroine can either be clever and fight back or take a laid-back, carefree approach. Later on, the male lead falls in love with her.

Please Recommend Palace- and Household-Intrigue Novels with Good Writing and a Fresh, Unclichéd Plot

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.
