Synopsis

The Earl's household has fallen into decline, and the Jiang family believes that if you can't afford to offend someone, you should keep out of their way. Jiang Shuyao and her two siblings were drilled from childhood to endure whatever they could when they were out and about. But kindness invites bullying, and some people just insist on walking all over you. Her younger brother had his hand broken, and every avenue her father pursued for help was blocked. Their opponent was a rising star at court, whose family had produced Consort Rong, favored above all others in the imperial harem. They didn't take the Jiang family seriously. So what if she was a favored consort? Who says someone else couldn't take her place? Jiang Shuyao entered the palace selection with a clear head. She sought favor, not love, and played the fool while keeping her claws hidden. From a seventh-rank Palace Woman to empress and then empress dowager, she fulfilled the promise she had made to her family. She weathered decades of rise and fall in the harem, gaining some things and losing others. The imperial harem was filled with beauties, but Xiao Rui kept an impossible woman in his heart. To him, every other woman was a matter of weighing benefits and putting on an act. Years later, when he looked back, the woman at his side was smiling brightly.

Not good Not bad either Character creation, plot, and logical coherence Good luck to the author who is okay (I feel like the author actually poured his feelings into the book)

The good-looking ones so far are not the popular so-called cool articles, but more like the style of another platform, and the writing style is good. I read other comments about the emperor before, and it didn't feel right. It's obvious that the male protagonist treats the harem like an emperor, and his background should be that of an indifferent person. The descriptions of everyone in the harem are also more group portraits. This rating is low. I can only say that it may not be in line with the current kind of happy female protagonists, and the male protagonist does not love life and death. Read them all. The heroine got to the end because she knew exactly what she wanted. At first I thought the Queen was just a housekeeper and the Holy Mother was useless. I thought one of the good concubines was sinister and vicious and the other stupid and overbearing. In the end, I just felt pitiful. Especially Concubine Shu, she actually liked the emperor and truly felt that the emperor loved her.

There are a lot of other scenes with concubines in the front, but they are reasonable, but the follow-up is really very interesting. I highly recommend everyone to watch it. It is very interesting. However, the subsequent death of the queen's child felt so regretful and innocent. Although there were not many scenes, it still felt very regretful, and the queen was a bit reluctant to part with it. If it could be more eye-catching at the beginning, I think the score should be 8.0, Maybe 9.0 Higher. I just feel like I can't bear to part with it now.

Overall it's pretty good, but I felt like it was written a little too fast towards the end.
