[Love at first sight / sweet romance / not both first-timers / native-born characters / unintelligent heroine / doted on from the start / happy ending]
⭐⭐⭐ The male lead only cares about himself and the heroine, with himself coming first. The heroine only cares about herself and the male lead, with herself coming first. Neither of them cares about anyone else. If you can't accept that, don't read this.
There are transmigration and rebirth storylines, but they don't involve the heroine or the male lead.
Jin Shu was born to a concubine in her family. Her mother had always been timid and afraid of trouble, repeatedly warning her not to cause any problems and to stay hidden in her own courtyard.
Seeing how timid she was, everyone looked down on her. Even though Jin Shu was a young lady of the household, she became someone anyone could bully.
Whenever she got angry and argued back, Zhao Shi would stop her and tell her not to stir up trouble.
Her mother never stood up for her. No matter who was right or wrong, she blamed Jin Shu, terrified of offending the principal wife.
How could she have a mother like that? If her mother hadn't wanted a child, she should have taken an abortifacient when she found out she was pregnant and ended Jin Shu's life. That would have been better than making her suffer like this.
Why should she have such a miserable life when she was a daughter of the household, just like the others? She wasn't asking to be treated like the legitimate sons and daughters. She only wanted to be treated like a person.
As luck would have it, the emperor held a selection, and she was assigned to Prince Li's household as a concubine. She would fight with all her might to win favor and trample those who looked down on her underfoot, so no one would dare bully her again.
Who would have thought she wouldn't need to fight for favor at all? Prince Li brought everything right to her.
The heroine is an expert at taking advantage of being doted on, and neither lead is a good person.
