Looking for an Ancient-Era Romance with a Female Lead Who Seems Like a Proper Lady but Is Secretly Formidable
I’ll Always Submit to the Clearheaded, Rational Heroines in These Authors’ Stories
I'd like to read something like Damn! Drop the Urge to Help Others and Respect the Scumbag's Fate. Quick transmigration, conquest stories, high quality.
Looking for Rational Characters Without Love-Brain Syndrome or Insane Plotlines!
This is one of the novels I've found that comes closest to what I want. Every character has their own schemes, and they feel like real people brought to life before your eyes. It's a brainy palace-intrigue drama. Could anyone recommend a smart romance novel? Historical or modern, either is fine.
Entertainment Industry Novels with Fresh Ideas, Like Zhihu Stories, and No Whole-Internet Hate Campaigns
It’s really annoying. These days, everything seems to follow the same formula. Please don’t start with the entire internet hating on the protagonist.
An Empress Who Seems Gentle, Virtuous, and Uninterested in Power, but Is Actually Clear-Eyed About Everything
Looking for books like "The Empress Leaped to Her Death, and the Mad Tyrant Cried Until His Eyes Turned Red". Something similar to the one above 👆
In a Reading Slump. Looking for a Palace Intrigue Novel
Looking for stories like The Crown Prince Is Cold and Unfeeling? I’ll Leave the Eastern Palace and Scheme for the Empress’s Throne! I want a female lead from a good family who’s loved by her relatives but isn’t naive. She should be very calculating, ruthless to herself and even more ruthless to others, and able to treat the emperor like a dog she’s training.

A fantastic palace intrigue novel! The female lead is incredibly clear-headed, the eldest prince is super cute, and her family loves her dearly (the only hardship she endures is the pain of love). Consort Ye is also wonderful. I really want to see the female lead become Empress Dowager later on. Author, please don't stop updating, waaaaah! 🥺🥺
It's really good! I've always liked this type of empress who pretends to be devoted to the emperor but doesn't truly love him. But I don't know why, there aren't many books of this type on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). Maybe I just haven't come across any yet. The rating is a bit low at the beginning, but it'll definitely rise later. This book has potential.
The sweet romance novel has shifted to a more sober and assertive female lead story. The female lead was once told that the hardest thing she'd ever suffer in her life would be the pain of love, and that proved prophetic. I think even if she didn't marry the male lead, marrying her cousin would still be risky, since consanguineous marriage always carries risks.
No, this is too awesome! Author, hurry up and write! In which chapter will the male lead finally die?
Yes, it's fine. Although I skipped through parts, the content is definitely worth watching. The female lead didn't cry her heart out over her past romance or cling to the past; instead, she and her family moved towards power.
I really hope the author can update more often, I can't wait! I actually cried. It turns out the female lead doesn't lack love even without a male lead (let's call him one for now), and she still lives with pride. I hope the younger brother will appear more often. Thank you! It's truly super good. I used to not read stories with such dirty male leads, but the author cured me.
Five stars are for the female lead; she can love and let go.
The female lead is clear-headed and doesn't engage in internal strife. When will the emperor die? I'm looking forward to the female lead becoming Empress Dowager, and I hope it doesn't take too long.
The stars are for Zhiyu because she deserves it. The female lead is a very charismatic person; she can both take things in stride and let go. When she no longer loves the male lead, she clearly withdraws from the relationship, focusing on her own future, her son's future, and her family's future. She will never again waste her energy on the emperor. Under the cherry blossom tree, everyone is beautiful; my love is passionate for everyone. It's not about you, it's about me.
The female lead is very clear-headed, goal-oriented, and career-driven—I absolutely love this kind of female lead! The author's writing is also quite good, and the plot is great too. Highly recommended! 👍👍
