A Delicate Beauty, Spoiled Beyond Reason

Male lead is not a virgin; female lead is a virgin (he favors her early on, then dotes on her exclusively)

A slightly pampered, slightly vain little consort × an emperor who falls in love at first sight and showers her with affection

Shen Yujiao, just like her name suggests, has always loved three things most: looking in the mirror, reading romance stories, and complaining in the emperor’s arms.

On the day of the selection, the emperor saw that her family was of modest means and that she was beautiful, and asked, “What do you usually do at home?”

“This humble maiden often reads at home.”

He had no idea that the books she read were not what he had in mind.

After she entered the imperial harem, the emperor held one of her romance stories and asked her, “Consort Shen, read some to me?”

But the tale of a widow and a scholar was really rather embarrassing.

After entering the harem, she weathered a cursed-doll incident and a disfigurement scandal. Though she had no idea what might happen next, she had four stalwart companions in the palace besides the emperor: Yingchun, Rouxia, Ruiqiu, and Wendong.

After confiscating her romance story, the emperor gave her a whole box of books in its place, but they were dreadfully dull.

The emperor was much more interesting.

A novice’s lighthearted story.

[Content warning: The male lead has children. The female lead becomes his sole favorite a month after entering the palace.]
