   Meng Tang, this gentle queen, seems to be weak and indifferent, but in fact she is sober in the world. On the stage of the harem, she skillfully dealt with various behaviors such as taking concubines and delivering medicines to the tyrant with ease. Using blood from her heart to relieve pain is just a way to win her favor. Until the rebels invaded, she resolutely sacrificed herself in the city and successfully escaped. At that time, the tyrant felt remorseful and cried bitterly, begging her to return. But Meng Tang looked on with cold eyes, revealing that the so-called true white lotus image was just a careful disguise. In the machinations and emotional entanglements of the palace struggle, she used her wisdom and acting skills to write a unique story of chasing his wife in the crematorium, which is amazing and makes people think deeply about the complex presentation of human nature and emotions in the palace struggle.

   A pure ancient Chinese romance novel with no rebirth, no time travel, no system, and no cheat codes! Life is tough, writing is hard, and without a debut or much traffic, I have to promote it myself. The female lead is intelligent, doesn't compete for male attention, isn't love-struck, and has logic without losing her mind. The low rating is due to fewer reviews. It's a good story that doesn't glorify feudal society! A female lead who doesn't fall in love, a humanoid emperor 🤦, a character who grows and develops, female mutual support, a slice-of-life palace intrigue, an ensemble piece, and decent writing. The title is a bit cheesy, but it's definitely not a melodramatic story. Two updates a day, please give it a try! ₍ᵔ•ᴗ•ᵔ₎ Thank you!

    The overall tone is realistic, a historical romance novel where the system is merely a tool; the female protagonist truly relies on her own scheming and maneuvering. After rescuing a boy from another race, she must care for him while also dealing with rumors from the noble family and societal prejudice against other races; the depiction of real-world obstacles is very effective. The romance develops slowly, focusing instead on character growth and family conflicts; the characters' actions are logically sound, without any illogical or unintelligent plot twists.
