What a novel and exciting plot device! Nine-tailed foxes are my favorite in the red envelope group. The palace intrigue is also right up my alley. It's a great read… and it's a completed book, so I don't have to follow it anymore—I'm so happy! The female lead is very calm, intelligent, and has a very clear understanding of her own position. I love this kind of female lead! 💕💕💕💕
There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts! This book is very good, and the female lead has excellent values. Perhaps the author created a female protagonist who cares about the world and isn't focused on palace intrigue, so it's not the kind of story where she constantly punishes villains. But even the villains don't get away with it in the end; they just do it in unexpected ways.
I read this book in one go, then started skipping chapters, and eventually skipped some more. The premise is actually quite good; there aren't really any major conspiracies, and it's mostly a lighthearted story. However, if the emperor were portrayed as more devoted to his lover, he might have been more appealing. Throughout the story, the emperor is quite wise, but also a bit of a philanderer.
This book is truly refreshing, with a very novel premise. Before I knew it, I was almost finished reading it. The "red envelope group" trope as a cheat code is rare, especially in the palace intrigue genre. Other palace intrigue novels usually feature protagonists who are reborn, transmigrate into another book, or possess a spatial spring, but the author has taken a different approach, which is…
It's so beautiful, I have to give it five stars! 💕💕💕💕💕💕 It has a classic palace intrigue novel feel to it, but it's quite to my taste. I don't understand why some palace intrigue novels would introduce a second male lead who flirts with the female lead. Doesn't that seem unrealistic?
First, I want the author to compensate me for my emotional distress 😳😳. That group chat was hilarious, especially the line about waking up to take a shower halfway through a cultivation retreat—it almost ruined my laptop! I was sitting in front of my computer, coffee in hand, just idly browsing. Some parts were truly laughable; you never knew what the author's next line would be.
It's good. I can't write a book review, so I just copied a passage from AI. This synopsis depicts the story of Yue Lingyue, a modern woman who travels back in time to the ancient imperial court, full of drama and plot twists. Starting as an unfavored concubine, Yue Lingyue, through her wisdom and luck, ultimately rises to become Empress, showcasing her growth and transformation amidst the palace…
I've finished reading it and I'm still in a daze. It was pretty good. The female lead was probably an ordinary girl before she transmigrated. She has a cheat ability, and her life is a little better in the harem, but that doesn't mean her IQ suddenly became 250. Putting myself in her shoes, I don't know how far I could go. If you're talking about dominating everyone, I'm not capable enough.
It's great! Many palace intrigue novels have similar plots, but the inclusion of red envelope groups and poisoning/drunkenness scenes makes it stand out. Are there any side stories featuring the nine-tailed fox? A cultivation novel with her as the protagonist would be interesting, with a celestial realm and a divine realm, and a plot about protecting the celestial realm… Maybe the author could write a cultivation novel featuring a nine-tailed fox? 😳😳
The plot is exciting, I like the nine-tailed fox.
