Looking for books like Who Gets It? The Empress Wrote a Hundred Palace Rules (Wanfengchai).

Pure Household and Palace Intrigue, No System
Looking for books similar to Palace Intrigue: Don't Be Afraid, My Son. Your Mother Will Put You on the Dragon Throne. I want domestic-intrigue stories where the heroine doesn't end up as a female official, and doesn't rely on violence to solve everything from the start. The male lead should help her in the early stages, but she shouldn't rely entirely on him. There should be some romantic tension in the middle, and in the later stages the heroine and male lead should be on equal footing, or...
Any Palace Intrigue Novels Where the Heroine Starts with a High Rank?

The Ultimate Palace Intrigue Heroines
I once read a palace intrigue novel where the female lead was a neglected concubine's daughter.

Something like Empresses in the Palace would be great. I want a palace-intrigue story that starts with the selection of consorts, with a clearheaded heroine who's sharp and emotionally intelligent.
Palace Intrigue Stories About Climbing to Power
No rebirth, no transmigration, and the author must have good writing. I'm looking for stories about rising through the ranks, such as a palace maid, a secondary consort, or a servant girl working her way up to become a noble consort.

It's very well written, with many distinctive characters, and the writing style and palace intrigue are both excellent... But I can't read it; it's too realistic. I'd genuinely feel sorry for the female characters. Some characters who would be the female lead in other books are all gathered here, locked in a vicious struggle.
Overall, it's quite good. Although it's an ensemble piece, Consort Shu and Consort Ying are clearly characters the author favors. The early episodes have less focus on power struggles and mostly revolve around the emperor's bedchamber life. There are many characters, some of whom are rather useless, especially the sister-in-law who gives birth to a daughter.
Oh my god, I really can't get enough! As the title says, it's not a traditional palace intrigue novel. There's no affectation, no drama, and no exclusive favor. It's a very typical ensemble piece about palace intrigue. This novel doesn't have a specific protagonist; as the saying goes, everyone is the protagonist of their own life, and I deeply felt that in this book.
I finished reading it on and off over two or three days. The palace intrigue in the beginning was relatively simple, some parts were even a bit silly, but it didn't insult the intelligence of the other people in the palace. It's gotten a little more complex now, at least not immediately obvious.
Super good! It's a completely different feeling from the palace intrigue novels I've read before! I especially love this realistic theme, after all, the historical background is different! Everyone is intelligent, I love it! Author, please update faster, I just can't get enough! Author, I've already read it twice! Could you please update faster?! It's so good!
A very exciting palace intrigue novel! I feel that Emperor Ming was still somewhat enthusiastic about the cases involving his concubines in the early stages, but as he had more children, he became increasingly annoyed by the issues of judging cases in the harem. Those who were eliminated were somewhat foolish and lacked power, while those who remained were all intelligent people.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a pure palace intrigue novel!! It truly achieves a vivid yet not stereotypical ensemble piece, with clear causes and consequences for each palace intrigue event. The absence of romance only makes the plot flow smoothly, hahaha! Another commendable aspect is that although it's realistic, its values are not skewed.
So realistic, so beautiful! After reading something so realistic, other palace intrigue novels just seem childish and unreadable.
I've read up to chapter 200 so far, and my favorite characters are Luo Tianxiang and Wu Xuerong 🥺 Who understands the power of Wu Xuerong's soft "I'm willing" when she was being bullied by the princess? I hope she gets a good ending 🥺 My favorite character is Mi Fei, she's like a mother to me.
What a thrilling palace intrigue! It was so captivating that I stayed up for several days to finish it. It really broadened my horizons; it felt like I watched dozens more episodes of palace dramas. The lack of a main character and pure palace intrigue was actually quite good. Until the very end, I couldn't predict who would win. The epilogue was also quite good. Ultimately, after the emperor's death, everyone is actually quite peaceful and can retire happily together.
