Go back to sleep.” “Oh.” Ning Xihua lay back down and promptly fell asleep. If the big shot was this calm, then even if knives were raining down outside, it had nothing to do with her.

   This book features a female protagonist who is a fragile alchemist in the cultivation world. She transmigrates to ancient times to become a concubine. On her wedding night, she recognizes the male protagonist as her brother. The male protagonist protects her throughout the story. There is no "white moonlight" (idealized love interest); all "white moonlight" are fake. She's a bit of a drama queen with strong likes and dislikes. It's definitely worth reading.

   The female protagonist is a modern college student who accidentally enters a painting and remains inside for a long time, unable to escape. The male protagonist is an emperor, diligent in his duties since taking the throne (a wise and respected ruler), with no concubines in his harem; he buys the painting during an inspection tour. He quickly discovers the female protagonist's existence and, during the selection of his consorts, chooses a painting as his empress. Although this is met with opposition, the male protagonist threatens to abdicate to the ministers. Later, the female protagonist is able to escape, and the two fall deeply in love.

    This is a perfect match! 💕💕👍👍 The female lead is really sharp-tongued; she knows when to be sarcastic and when to back down. She's a bit of a crybaby and prone to making a fuss, but she's not annoying at all. The male lead seems aloof on the surface, but he keeps lowering his standards—a classic case of "she was just playing around, but he took it seriously." The beginning is hilarious, and the later parts are incredibly sweet.
