The Concubine’s Mother Catches the Eye of Someone from the Capital
I can't remember if the heroine was reborn or transmigrated. Her mother was a concubine in a wealthy family. A high-ranking official came to the capital and saw her mother kneeling in punishment at the ancestral shrine. He thought she looked delicate and alluring, and fell for her at first sight. The head of the family gave the concubine to him to curry favor. When the heroine was a little over ten, she went to the capital and met a frail prince.

If this were a male-oriented novel, the title would be something like, "Shocking! Married to my white moonlight for two years without consummating the marriage, only to find out she miscarried three years ago!" Uh, this is a female-oriented novel, and I feel the title is a bit too subtle!
I've already finished reading it. Author, hurry up and write more! Then, this book will probably follow the same old plot: Gu Shi develops feelings for the Third Prince because of some life-saving grace, but it was actually Ning Si who did it, so their feelings become entangled and confused.
It's a very good novel. The introduction and demise of each character are written very smoothly, the characters are all very vivid, and the plot is full and engaging, sometimes funny, sometimes suspenseful. The personalities and feelings of the male and female leads are gradually revealed through the unfolding story.
This is a post from the author of this book, reserving a spot for myself. It's a new book, so please support it!
It's alright. The male lead is basically a forced virgin, with a house full of concubines. Aside from not going all the way with the other concubines, hugging and cuddling are definitely commonplace. He doesn't seem particularly doting on the female lead, who is quite clear-headed in the early stages. It doesn't feel like a typical sweet romance.
Overall, I'd give it a five-star rating to support the author. What impressed me most about this novel was actually the relationship between the male protagonist and his first wife. This plot point, I think, is worth discussing further, as the male protagonist's "white moonlight" (a term for a woman who is both romantic and unfaithful).
5555555 This book is amazing! Both leads are virgins, and the male lead is incredibly perceptive. He liked his ex-wife but never touched her, probably because she didn't want him to either. But once he falls for the female lead, he becomes unkind to everyone else. ~(￣▽￣~)~ The female lead is so lucky! She's great too, always so sweet and doesn't bother with friends.
Holy crap! This Aunt Lian is amazing! To be honest, this book truly shocked me. The female lead is incredibly clear-headed; although she's sometimes a bit slow to react, she always manages to turn things around for the better. The male lead is truly pitiful; it's rare to find a male lead in an ancient Chinese novel who has left such a deep impression on me.
The plot structure is good, the male lead's personality is quite novel, and the plot development is logical; the clean pairing doesn't feel abrupt. Although the early plot is strange and illogical, it's all resolved later. I can't give it five stars because the author is too careless and keeps misspelling character names.
It was quite suspenseful. Even after it ended, everyone was still guessing who the poor Gu family woman had found. Finally, we learned the answer was the Emperor. I'm so glad I was born in modern times, otherwise, the idea of an older man dating a younger woman would be so bizarre!
