Everyone said the eldest branch was full of (wán kù, spoiled brats), but in Shen Tanghua's eyes, they were all treasures. Her adoptive father, Song Ze, was indeed a, but he also had a lot of intelligence, which the emperor definitely needed; her adoptive mother, Wei Shi, was well-dressed, had a good personality, and was wealthy—the ladies should see her good points; her eldest brother, Song Wu, possessed brute strength, so she abandoned literature for martial arts; her second brother, Song Bai, was cunning, so she went into business.

    Two ancient Chinese novels that I absolutely love: 1️⃣ A pure palace intrigue thriller. The female lead was disliked by her father from a young age and bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters. She's good at feigning weakness but is actually incredibly skilled. She enters the Eastern Palace through the imperial concubine selection, scheming step by step, testing the waters with the Crown Prince, and eventually winning his exclusive favor. The author's writing is excellent, and it's a very enjoyable read. 2️⃣ In her past life, the female lead mistakenly trusted a cunning strategist, resulting in her sister's tragic death. After being reborn, she pursues her husband, reconciles with him, and enjoys a sweet relationship. They join forces in palace intrigue. The author's writing is also excellent, and it becomes more and more addictive as you read on. It truly gives you the feeling of being in ancient times, navigating every step with treacherous intentions!
