    The first book is about Zheng Shuning and Fu Junyi. Note that the male lead isn't chaste, but the female lead is. If you mind this, you can skip it. If not, you can read it and see the later part where the male lead is the only one in love with the female lead. The male lead falls for the female lead, and later the female lead also falls for the male lead and loves Fu Junyi. The male lead also falls for the female lead. If you mind this, you can skip it. If not, you can consider reading it. The second book is about Pei Tingyue and Xie Chen. Note that it's not about both being chaste, but it seems to be a transmigration story after the female lead serves the male lead. Later, the male lead is the only one in love with the female lead because he used her in the early stages. Shen Yuyao isn't Xie Chen's white moonlight; she only uses the male lead. The male lead falls for the female lead and loves her, and later the female lead also falls for the male lead and loves Xie Chen. If you mind this, you can skip it. If not, you can read it! The third book is about Shen Jiayu and Pei Yan. Note that the male lead isn't chaste, but the female lead is. If you mind this, you can skip it. If not, you can read it and see the later part where the male lead is the only one in love with the female lead. Also, after the female lead serves the male lead, the male lead doesn't seek anyone else. Initially, the male lead used the female lead, the concubines in the harem, and the court to maintain balance and control. In a few episodes, it was Consort Lu who went to see the male lead. Later, he developed feelings for the female lead and gradually stopped using her. Also, later on, the female lead also developed feelings for the male lead and fell in love with Pei Yan.

    The first novel features the pampered eldest daughter and principal wife of a noble family, a beautiful and delicate empress. The female lead is a laid-back, easygoing type, while the male lead is love-struck and dotes on her, spoiling her and unwilling to let her suffer. It's a one-on-one, virgin-only romance. The second novel features a stunningly beautiful and slightly eccentric imperial concubine, a favorite of the emperor. She's wealthy and has plenty of free time, initially favoring high-ranking concubines and not loving the male lead. The child is incredibly cute and adorable, making for a lighthearted and enjoyable read. The relationship develops gradually, and both female leads are intelligent, clear-headed, and not love-struck.
