   NO.1 This book's palace intrigue is truly superb, with novel and exciting methods. However, one of the princes is the female lead's half-brother, so please don't misunderstand while reading! NO.2 From concubine in a prince's mansion to empress, the perspective is fresh, and the emperor and female lead have some feelings for each other. It's been a while since I read it, but I remember it being very good. NO.3 The female lead is not a saint or a naive girl. From initially wanting to rise in rank and have children, to the tragic death of her beloved sister, she becomes completely ruthless. NO.4 The delicate and charming concubine is highly skilled, and the emperor is easily swayed. Common points of these books: 1. The female leads all use beauty, wisdom, methods, and scheming to gradually gain the emperor's favor. 2. None of them are chaste.

    I haven't enjoyed a rebirth drama this much in a long time. The female lead died tragically in her previous life and, without knowing who the murderer was, was turned into a human pig and thrown into a soul-locking well, where she was sealed for ten years. One day, she was rescued and reborn. After her rebirth, she embarked on a path of revenge, tormenting everyone who had wronged her in her past life. The most exciting part is that this drama doesn't have a fixed male lead; the female lead is surrounded by three men, allowing us to create our own romantic pairings. In the end, the female lead realizes she no longer wants revenge, but finds she can't escape the past. The entire plot is coherent, the pacing is excellent, and the immersion is extremely strong. I felt like I was experiencing the story myself many times, so I really must recommend this book to everyone. Go read it!
