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.

Sweet and yellow, it's reassuring. It perfectly matches my ideal type. Whether it's sweet or not doesn't depend on psychological descriptions, but on actions. No misunderstandings, no losses, intermittent efforts, and continuous composure. The type of relationship doesn't matter, as long as it's that one special person to each other.
I stayed up all night and watched it all in one go. Although I was on edge the whole time, I felt a pang of sadness at the end. They were a very respectable emperor and empress, and Xiao Zheng was truly a very presentable emperor.
It's really, really good! The writing style is light yet humorous and interesting. Becoming beautiful through a system is a common trope, but the author adds many clever touches, making the novel feel fresh. I started reading before bed and finished it at 5 AM—it's so good!! Anyone know, it's still ongoing, and I'm in so much pain, wishing it would be finished soon~
Not bad (read at your own risk if you mind the male lead being an emperor with a real harem). The female lead, Qiu Ju, a primary school teacher, sacrifices herself to save someone and is chosen by a system to transmigrate into the body of an ancient palace maid. She then resolves to climb the ranks step by step to become empress and empress dowager.
This is definitely one of the best books on Tomato Books; it's a gem I found here. The time-travel and system elements aren't clichéd, the male and female leads are well-developed, the writing is good, there are no awkward moments, and the plot flows smoothly without too much unnecessary dialogue. I personally think it deserves a Tomato score of 9.5 Or higher.
I listened to part of the software but wasn't satisfied, so I'm reading the full article! Very realistic, avoiding those clichéd plots of a bunch of women all remaining chaste and devoted only to the female lead. Those who prefer a clean relationship should proceed with caution!
This is an incredibly good read! It's my second love story after "Whose Pampered Concubine Doesn't Act Up." It's self-consistent, slightly humorous, and a little risqué, with no angst. Everyone feels so real, especially the male and female leads. Even the comments section is full of people saying they're head over heels in love, but in reality, they weren't in love at all.
I can't take it anymore, it's so good! I didn't think much of it at first, but I got more and more hooked, and by the end, I was just...!!! The epilogue even made me cry. The male and female leads are great characters, especially the female lead who's so clear-headed (I love female leads who are clear-headed about emotions, haha).
The yellow color is reassuring, and the sweetness is even more reassuring 😌😌😌 This is the first time I've read a story where the male lead, after being with the female lead, still sleeps with other women and has children with them, but I still managed to watch it and even liked it 🥹🥹🤣
It's so good! The male lead is a normal emperor, not a virgin, and he has children with other women throughout the story. I think aside from that, there aren't any major issues. In fact, I'm neutral on that aspect; it's just that the author writes it well, and I can accept it. The female lead is incredibly doted on, showering the author with affection until she becomes the sole focus of his affections.
