After the empress dies, the female lead is used as a substitute for the empress, and things get a bit tragic towards the end. That's roughly the plot. I read it a long time ago, so I've forgotten a bit. Recommended rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With well-developed characters and a tight plot, this is a very good novel.

    ☘️Look here, look here🔥🔥🔥👉🏻These are all good. The first book features a female lead who is the emperor's mistress, constantly clamoring to cuckold him. The second is a quick transmigration novel; I personally love the third-world setting. The most appealing aspect of the third book is that both the male and female leads have sharp tongues. The early chapters focus on power struggles within the royal palace, while the later chapters explore palace intrigue after the Prince of Jin ascends the throne. The overall plot is quite good. The fourth book is definitely worth reading; the author also wrote another excellent book, "The Empress Dowager."
