I’ve Been Obsessed with Palace-Intrigue Stories Lately. Ladies, Hand Over Your Books!
Any Seriously Brain-Twisting Palace Intrigue Novels?
Looking for books like *The Empress Is Sickly, Sly, and Alluring, Fighting Her Way to the Empress’s Throne*. I want a really clever heroine, with the empress already having a legitimate heir, and the heroine gradually climbing her way up to become empress dowager. Ah, I don’t want romance.
Strong but Lazy Female Lead, Already Tired of Life, Looking for Something Peaceful

Palace and Household Intrigue with Smart Characters! Rated 9.5 or Higher!
Looking for something like Zhaohua's Chaos. Rated 9.5 or higher! The female lead should be a concubine's daughter who gradually rises from a low rank, or works her way up in the prince's household. She should be clear-headed, have no love for the emperor or prince, be ambitious, ruthless, and quick to avenge herself. And she has to be smart, smart, smart! She pretends to be a pushover and then...

Everyone, Recommend Some Real Palace-Intrigue Stories
I’ve read so many stories where the leads are each other’s only partners, the female lead gets ridiculous later on, the emperor favors her for no reason, and her family is low-ranking but somehow she can skip several ranks at a time. I want a palace-intrigue story that makes a bit more sense, please, I’m begging you.

Well, it's the author's consistent style. It's a plain and simple palace fight where you sing and I appear, the male protagonist is clearly a scumbag, and the female protagonist sits firmly on the table. I love watching it [Like]
It's so beautiful, but this palace fight is too taxing for the prince and princess [face covering]
The author didn't have a table of contents, so I didn't know what stories there were, so every time I saw this book, I didn't want to read it when I saw the table of contents. I didn't start reading it until today. At first glance, it was quite interesting. Haha, the first story goes until the end of chapter 95, 1-95. It's very exciting. It's this palace that fights against useless people, and the princes and concubines die a lot [laughing] ] The heroine and the emperor have been studying the fire avoidance map and the driving king is very happy. If anyone offends her, she will get pregnant for others and then they will calm down. Haha, the poison can't harm her. She didn't originally have children. She unexpectedly became pregnant at the age of 29. She finally came to power. The emperor died at the age of 100 and she was 120... Haha, ready to read the second story. The second story reaches 95-107. In the first world, the male protagonist chases after them. The two of them are not 120 years old. When the children grow up and abdicate, they almost leave. The male protagonist is a woman and the female protagonist has given birth to 2 children. The female protagonist wins by lying down. It's pretty good. I don't like to waste my brains either. The third story reaches pages 107-123. The male protagonist of the first story is chasing after her again. Although the first woman is the female protagonist, the male protagonist was controlled by the plot and slept with another woman. The female protagonist gave birth to 2 children and succeeded to the throne. The male protagonist lives to 100 and the female protagonist is 120. However, the male protagonist in the first world who has chased the female protagonist for 3 worlds can no longer pursue the female protagonist. The female protagonist does not want him, haha. The fourth story, 123-147, is about Qin Shihuang. The heroine uses the identity of a shaman. To be honest, I was scared to death. It was so dangerous. There were two children. The son died after he succeeded to the throne in his fifties and did not live to be 120. The fifth story 147-163, the male protagonist Liu Che, the female protagonist will give birth to a daughter this time and live to 120
I didn't have much expectations when I read the ratings, but I have already read two books written by the author, so I clicked in. But really, the author is really good at writing. Even if the heroine may be bullied by the male protagonist in the world, the cause and effect cycle will bring back a small revenge after leaving the world. Even if it is unclean, it is still very attractive. Now I plan to read another book by the author. I didn't want to read it because of my uncleanness, but after reading this one, I suddenly felt less isolated. 2026.2.8, It's so good.
It's good to read. When adults are tired, remember one more chapter. When they eat, remember one more chapter. When they are happy, they remember one more chapter. When they are sad, they remember one more chapter. When they take a break, they remember one more chapter. [Send a heart] [Send a heart] [Blow a kiss] It's best to post a hundred and eighty chapters and save them [Shy]
I really like Jianxue, wow, I feel like I'm about to cry when I watch Jianxue grow up. Although it was complicated when I read almost a hundred chapters and found that there are two hundred chapters in total and there are five worlds, but after reading it, I found that the development is quite reasonable! But it's too short and it's not enough to read [pouts], so please come on, the author, and write more in the next book, okay [sending my heart] (I really like Jian Xue and Qiu Ju's character of facing desires head-on).
It's good to watch [Like] I've finished watching the first world now. What's great is that Da Da made a table for the palace rankings and princes. It's clear at a glance. It's great [Like]
Quite interesting so far. I like that the heroine is childless (for now).
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It's so beautiful, the last world is so beautiful! ! !
A very unique palace fight novel.
