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.
Recommendations for Ancient or Modern Stories Without a Virgin Couple, for a Change from Reading So Many Stories with Chaste Leads
Ladies, please recommend historical or modern novels where the couple aren't each other's firsts. Completed stories preferred, completed stories! I've read too many books where they are each other's firsts and want a change of pace. Thanks, ladies!

Okay, okay, I love novels with fast-paced plots! Some female protagonists are pregnant for hundreds of chapters and still can't give birth...
Near the end, I suddenly felt like sharing my thoughts. I'll correct any changes in the ending later. This is just my personal opinion, so please don't be offended if you disagree! Personally, I think this is what a truly clear-headed, strong female lead should be like. No time-traveling cheat codes, calm, self-possessed, and clear-headed.
It's a nice song. The female lead is smart, and the male lead is good too, but I don't want him to become a love-struck idiot. The female lead's family is good, but a bit weak. Luckily, her younger brother seems alright.
The pacing was just right, and it was quite enjoyable to watch.
I haven't finished reading it yet, but I'll say this first: although the male lead dotes on the female lead and her child, he always seems to turn a blind eye to the eldest princess's disgusting actions, leaving the female lead's family to suffer in the end. The female lead's inner monologue is always saying she won't argue with the eldest princess, "I can't hold a grudge against her."
It's been a long time since I've read such a long story. The female lead's ability to maintain her clarity of mind is truly amazing, but!! After reading the epilogue, I really don't want the male and female leads to get together. I want Fu Zichen and Nian Nian to be together 😢😢 I also want Nian Nian to find a good partner to spend her life with.
I like her, but I still don't want a new princess. If there is one, I hope she's sensible; otherwise, the female lead's children will inevitably face difficulties. Also, I'm truly speechless about that eldest daughter. I really misjudged her. My god, she's so heartless! She doesn't seem to remember her mother's favoritism at all. She might as well have just been sent for a political marriage.
I like the female lead, Hua Songyi, for being so clear-headed and intelligent, always able to protect her own heart. The side stories are actually better than the main text. However, I didn't really like the part about the emperor taking the minister's wife. In my opinion, Dongfang Jing is just a tool for the female lead to rise to power; she was forced into becoming Teng's concubine and tied to him in this life, so that there wouldn't be any entanglement in the next life.
Rich in content, with a coherent plot and novel theme, I look forward to the rest of the story and want to see the male and female leads go all out.
It's very good; it has a palace intrigue feel to it, and I like it a lot. Keep it up, author!
