Pretty much what the title says.
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.

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 Heroine Was Chosen as a Consort in the Countryside and Entered the Palace: A Little Naive, but Cunning Beneath the Surface
What book is this? The heroine's family couldn't afford to keep her, so they had no choice but to sell her. The villagers sent her to the palace. She's a bit of a ditz, though she understands what some things mean. She gives off the impression of being wise in her own way.

Looking for books similar to "Transmigrated as a Cannon-Fodder Palace Consort, She Sweetly Coaxes Him into Elevating Her Status". In the original story, she was simple-minded and easy to control, a shield pushed forward by Emperor Xie Chen for his “beloved consort.” Pei Tingyue, who had transmigrated into the book, raised an eyebrow and smiled softly.

Dog-Training Fics With an Unyielding Heroine
Any novels where the female lead had a tragic ending in her previous life and trains a man to obey her after being reborn? I don't want her to lose her original stubborn, proud personality, someone who won't respond to force but gives in to kindness. No turning her into a meek, delicate girl who pretends to be weak and cries to make men feel sorry for her, even if it's an act. Please!
The Male Lead Is a Crown Prince, and the Female Lead Is His Concubine
Are there any novels where the male lead is a crown prince and the female lead is one of his concubines?

Looking for a Story About an Empress Who Doesn’t Want to Compete for Favor and Just Wants a Peaceful Life
The Female Lead Is a Laid-Back Concubine, Clear-Headed and a Little Cunning
I want to read something like Transmigrated Life of a Carefree Concubine (A Concubine’s Daily Life). The female lead is doted on but doesn’t show off. Nothing set in the Qing dynasty, please. (It’s hard to relate when the history is right there.)

Looking for Qing Dynasty Palace-Intrigue Novels with a Transmigrated or Reborn Female Lead
I'm looking for books similar to The Tsundere Consort Falls for the Leader of the Red Flower Society. This is a Qing-dynasty time-travel novel. The protagonist has a little bit of supernatural power: she can revive people on the brink of death and bring all things back to life. She also transmigrates into Consort Wan, one of Emperor Qianlong's consorts. She receives little favor at first, but later makes a strong play to win his affections.

The story unfolds like a gentle stream, a peaceful and heartwarming daily life. The female lead lives her life without vying for power or influence. The emperor is quite humane, and the harem is relatively free of major conflicts, mostly minor squabbles. The only exception is that the previous palace intrigue fighters were a bit eccentric. I was wrong.
A very well-developed slice-of-life story set in the imperial court, it's a very enjoyable read. The female lead's behavior becomes excessively exaggerated later on. She says things like, "I didn't mean to offend the Empress, but the Emperor just keeps spoiling me, it's so annoying QAQ." All those years of being a favored concubine were for nothing! And those expressions are too frequent; it's really infuriating to watch.
This is a slice-of-life story set in the palace, with minimal palace intrigue (and the intrigue doesn't involve the female lead). It's a heartwarming, slice-of-life story. There are occasional sweet moments between the female lead and the emperor, and the female lead isn't completely in love with him; the focus is on her enjoying her own peaceful life.
It's great! 😍 Highly recommended. I really like the main characters, and the writing is also very good. This novel really started strong but ended poorly. It was quite good at the beginning, but then the ending was a complete disaster, and the female lead's character was ruined. Is this novel even worth reading anymore?
It's a good read. The author writes slice-of-life scenes quite well, and the female lead is beautiful and has high emotional intelligence (unconsciously). Since the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, let's not talk about romance. I can only say that the female lead has a good superior-subordinate relationship with the emperor.
It's pretty good. So far, they've all been nice girls. Unlike other palace intrigue novels where everyone is scheming and calculating, there aren't any harmful things around them that are as common as air. They all live decent lives, which is great.
The female lead should be the kind of gentle and kind person that Zhou Xun wanted to portray in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace". Even though I treat him as my boss, my emperor husband only loves and dotes on me. He can also warm everyone in the harem and make everyone think I am great. He can overcome the obstacles in my path and I only need to be happy to obtain the empress's throne that everyone wants.
The Empress's scenes were too much, it was so frustrating! A novel can be unpleasant, but it shouldn't be this frustrating. I really love the romance between the male and female leads... But this anger is giving me breast hyperplasia!
I've finished reading it; it felt like I lived a long life. The female lead, Consort Zhuang, won everything effortlessly, rising from concubine to empress—it all felt so natural! 😳 It's truly a work of art by the author's loving author. Even if Shen hadn't become the Crown Princess, the male lead would still likely have chosen Consort Zhuang; being with her was definitely easy and comfortable ❤️.
I've read too many palace intrigue novels where everyone's scheming and manipulative, so this heartwarming one is a real treat! There isn't too much fighting and scheming. Although the female lead is a time traveler, she doesn't have that arrogant, "I'm destined to be the female lead" attitude; instead, she honestly lives a comfortable and happy life within her own capabilities!
