Synopsis

When they first met, he was the Crown Prince, and she was the confidante at his side.

From the Crown Prince's residence to the palace's towering halls, she stood by him through storm and uncertainty until he ruled the realm.

He once promised to love her deeply for a lifetime and give her a life of peace,

but once he had secured the throne and seized imperial power, their old affection could not withstand an emperor's suspicion.

Countless beauties filled the harem, where schemes to win favor never ceased. She weathered them all,

but she could not survive his words: “Your family is plotting rebellion.”

A cup of poisoned tea severed their past and ended her future.

It turned out the greatest pain in this world

was not dying at an enemy's hands, nor perishing in the palace's deadly intrigues,

but dying at the hands of the man she had loved all her life.

Smart Palace Intrigue, No One Gets Dumbed Down, and the Heroine Is Clearheaded and Cunning

I want books similar to Why Hasn't the Noble Consort Died Yet? Ideally, it should have the prose style of a historical romance, and the plot and characters must be good. Preferably no golden finger. Thanks to every sweetheart who rescues me from my reading slump~

Looking for Palace Intrigue: A Sweet Story with a Spoiled, Arrogant Heroine

The female lead must be especially doted on. Her rank being low is fine. What matters is that she is arrogant and spoiled by favor, the type who can openly vent her temper at the emperor, while he still goes to coax her. However, her arrogance and spoiled behavior must not be based on the emperor having hurt her in the past.
