    This one is quite similar. If you are tired of reading the same template articles, you can read this one. It's very different and unconventional. The novel is of high quality and very enjoyable to read. Based on the theme of Qing Dynasty, a female professor of modern history accidentally dressed in an ancient palace and became an emperor's favorite concubine. In the early stage, he always avoided being favored, but in the later stage, he was favored exclusively. Both the male and female protagonists have peerless looks. The heroine is gentle, cold and indifferent, and has no fight with the world. The male protagonist is unparalleled in the world, and the stranger is like jade. The heroine's sole pampering arouses the jealousy of the entire harem. The palace battles are fierce and the heroine suffers a lot. The heroine takes revenge and tears apart the vicious female partner without mercy. The female protagonist successfully travels back to modern times, and the imperial male protagonist pursues her love into modern times. Extreme pulling, full sexual tension, overflowing hormones, lots of sticking, haha
