Introduction to volumes
Volume 1: Double Bibi (The Legend of Zhen Huan·An Lingrong × Empress Zhengshi)
Before An Lingrong was reborn for the draft, he vowed not to be anyone's pawn in this life. Empress Xiao Jingxian in the official history wore Cheng Yixiu. Faced with a harem whose rules had collapsed, she decided to restore order according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty. An Lingrong discovered that the draft process had completely changed - she no longer owed Zhen Huan any favors. Two people, one sets the rules in the open and the other clears the obstacles in the dark. The chess pieces have to turn over, the queen has to take her right position, and Zhen Huan's "specialness" slowly fails in the face of the rules.
Volume 2: Fierce Flame (The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua)
Concubine Hua hit the wall and died. When she opened her eyes, she went back to the year when she first entered the palace, before marrying the emperor who was still the prince at that time. She knew Huan Yixiang's secret, knew that the emperor had never loved her, and knew that the Nian family would be destroyed. She doesn't plan to be crazy about love anymore in this life. She wants to keep the Nian family, survive the emperor's death, and take the position of queen mother. Men are not worthy, but power is.
Volume Three: The Main Palace (Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace·The Official History of the Empress Wearing Ruyi's Love in the Palace)
Zha Zhalong's harem is more chaotic than Yongzheng's harem. Queen Zhengshi looked at the chaotic scene of the palace full of concubines fighting, and only said, "My harem is not a stage for you to perform palace fighting dramas." She doesn't fight for favor or fight in the palace, she just uses rules and systems to suppress everyone. Ruyi's "love" is as light as a feather in front of her management.
