    The first book features a female protagonist who never forgets her initial reason for entering the palace. She levels up, defeats monsters, and schemes against the entire harem (including the scumbag emperor). Using her position as a concubine, she kills her stepmother. She finally sees through the emperor's true intentions and successfully slays him. The most exciting part is that the concubines in the harem eventually awaken to their true nature, instead of fighting to the death over a scoundrel emperor. The second book features a female protagonist who transmigrates into the body of an empress, becoming the most proper and respectful empress and the most peaceful manager of the harem.
