Back when I was editing, there was no such thing as romances between two men or two women. Well, maybe there were, but they hadn't taken off yet.

I've Been Into Palace Intrigue Lately 😍 Hand Over Your Top Palace Intrigue Picks!
Looking for books like "The Empress's Consort Is Cunning, and the Emperor Can't Resist Her". The leads don't have to be each other's firsts!!! They don't have to be each other's firsts!!! But the female lead must be clear-headed and strong, not weak. Some angst is fine. I like stories set in fictionalized historical worlds, as long as the plot is well-crafted and detailed, hehe.

A Qing Dynasty Time-Travel Story: The Principal Consort Wants No Concubines
The Heroine Isn’t the Legal Wife, but the Hero Spoils Her Rotten
Looking for books similar to The Delicate Noble Consort Has Her Ways (also known as: The Wise Don't Fall in Love, and the Noble Consort Won't Take Responsibility). The male lead should dote on and protect the heroine, but she shouldn't be a naive, airheaded sweetheart.
The Emperor Falls in Love With Her at First Sight, Seizes Her for the Palace, and Dotes on Her Alone
Palace Intrigue with Open, Unabashed Favoritism and Exclusive Devotion
Looking for books similar to The Beautiful and Soft Lady-in-Waiting Is Spoiled Endlessly by the Cold-Blooded Crown Prince. Palace intrigue or entertainment-world crossovers are both fine. I want open, obvious affection, not a heroine who's a target in plain sight. From the start, she should be the favored one, preferably the only one he favors. Ideally, once he has or falls in love with the heroine, they should both be sexually inexperienced.

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.

It's well-written. Jiang Jiang is stylish and shrewd; who wouldn't like such a beautiful girl? 😳 The pacing is good and doesn't drag. It's rare to see an empress who doesn't take the initiative. There are so many beauties in the palace; it's dazzling! Empress Zhao Yanxing is a good empress, Zhiyi is doing well, and Xiao Ba and the Crown Princess are also doing well XD The modern side story is the icing on the cake, and the series is finally over!
It's a great show. I watched it for a few days and almost finished it. The Empress is my favorite character. She's the most competent Empress, fair and just, never forming factions or fighting among the concubines. When something goes wrong, she's always the first to punish the palace servants, and she's also relatively kind to the other concubines. I really like this kind of Empress.
The plot is excellent, enjoyable from beginning to end, and the romance is also well-developed and progresses gradually. P. S. This is the first online novel I've seen on Tomato that I can clearly identify the author of; I'm moved to tears.
So good!! I've read many similar stories, but I cried towards the end 😢 The Empress is the best mother, wife, and wonderful girl. May she fly out of her gilded cage and always be the free wind 😢 The female lead is intelligent and doesn't take advantage of her favor. I thought later on, it would be revealed that she doesn't love the male lead, leading to conflict.
This is a very good palace intrigue novel. It's the one with the slowest but most meticulous promotion among all the palace intrigue novels I've read. The emperor is a very competent emperor. I love his political affairs. The harem is just a tool for him to balance the power of various factions. There's no question of finding true love. He only goes to whoever makes him comfortable.
Finally finished reading it! It took me almost a week. This is the second palace intrigue novel I've read from cover to cover. [I'm so satisfied!] The author is truly amazing. Three women make a drama, but with so many women in a super chaotic battle, it's incredibly entertaining. I didn't want to skip any chapters.
A hidden gem of a book! It's a pure palace intrigue novel, and so far there haven't been any instances of exclusive love or favoritism. It's not mindless, the plot is very logical, the characters are all normal, and their motivations are reasonable—truly rare.
The author's writing is quite good, but some parts of the plot give me the feeling that the Empress is always unambitious. 😘
The story is engaging and worth rereading. The characters are fairly well-developed, and I like the male and female leads. Their relationship develops gradually. This is the kind of palace intrigue novel I've been looking for, not the kind where the protagonist quickly becomes the sole favorite or the harem is disbanded.
Overall, the plot deserves five stars. There are no redundant parts, and the palace intrigue is varied and engaging. The ending is actually quite uplifting. Aside from the fact that the emperor does fall in love with the female lead at the end, he's not fundamentally different from other emperors.
