    "The Empress" is a palace intrigue novel I just finished reading. The female protagonist is quite intelligent, not a naive and innocent character. Her goal is to empty the harem of concubines. Although she didn't achieve it in the end, the result was still close. The ending felt a little rushed, but otherwise, it was excellent. The second book probably doesn't need much introduction; anyone who reads palace intrigue novels should know it. The writing is very accessible and smooth, making it easy to finish without even realizing it. "A Kind of Harem Called Consort De" tells the story of Wuya Lanqi's life, with some particularly detailed descriptions. It's also worth reading.
