Palace Intrigue, Palace Intrigue, Pure Palace Intrigue
I’m trying to find a palace-intrigue novel. I think it involved transmigration. The heroine didn’t love the emperor, though he seemed to love her. Later, once their son had grown up, the emperor grew wary of her. She gave him a drug that made him impotent and left him irritable, and so on. He eventually died suddenly.

Looking for books like *The Mad Empress Wants to Be the Number One White Lotus in the Harem (Phoenix’s Schemes: The Story of the Legitimate Empress)*. 🌟 Why I recommend it: This empress is not to be trifled with. 1.

If You Want to Find Gong Douwen, Set It in the Introduction. Be Sure to Read It. If Not, Don't Recommend It.
I want to set it up in more detail so that everyone can find the books they really want to read. Gong Douwen, the heroine has means and scheming, but she will not offend others unless they offend her. The emperor favored her and finally favored her alone. The heroine fell in love with the emperor in the end, which is logical. Have you seen Ye Jun? I'm looking for something like this.
You Won't Regret Getting Into These, Highly Recommended
Looking for books like Mother of the Nation: It All Begins with Impersonating the Chancellor's Widowed Sister-in-Law. It begins with He Qingsui seeking revenge for the family of three. The female lead's revenge is truly satisfying: the moment she finds out who the enemy is, she can take them down the very next moment. No dragging things out.

I thought it would be similar to other old stories about rebirth + substitute marriage, but the plot is so exciting that you can read it in one go without even realizing it. It's rare that I didn't abandon the novel. The heroine is really resourceful. Although she is not as bold as other heroines, she feels resourceful. The overall story is short, concise and not procrastinating, making it worth reading.
The writing is good and not boring to read. The hostess is sober and I like this kind of hostess very much. Of course, I particularly hate creatures like the Emperor. But the emperor was also very knowledgeable. This should be a purely female protagonist article. Don't ask if there is a male protagonist, because I don't think there is. The emperor can only be regarded as a tool to give the female protagonist an identity. Otherwise, how can it be considered a purely female protagonist novel? I like this kind of novel. Come on, author, write more, better and more exciting works. A few more words, some comments about other readers who liked this novel about the rushed ending. I personally think it ends beautifully and cleverly. Because the heroine has completed the development blueprint for the future, all that is left is to add details little by little. The general story line has ended, what else do readers want to see? This is neither a romance novel, nor a Machiavellian novel, nor a harem novel. To change it in any direction would destroy the entire sense of the novel. This novel is the one that I feel is closest to the setting of rebirth, with its indifference, detachment, and vicissitudes of life. The final summary is that it looks good.
It's very good to watch. It has the feeling of a reborn heroine in ancient times. It's a bit refreshing, but the golden finger is not big. It is suitable for those who like to crush their IQ. It is a movie about wits. It can be rated as a 9 points. The writing is so fluent
There doesn't seem to be much difference whether this cp is there or not. I just feel sorry for the heroine. There is no real family affection and love in the past and present life.
I have been reading novels for many years. For me, any book that I can read in one sitting is a good book. This book is worth recommending👍
Great writing, looking forward to the big hit
Worth a look, I think
The idle fish must become salted fish [awkward laughter] It's not easy to go from concubine to queen mother [awkward laugh]
Recommend. The heroine is very wise. It makes people feel that wise people will arrange their lives well no matter what.
The book is a good one if you can finish it. It's well written, but the last dozen or so chapters feel a bit too rushed.
