    Family, this novel's plot is absolutely amazing! The male protagonist is tormented by headaches, but they are relieved by seeing the female protagonist in his dreams. After a long and arduous search, he finally finds her at his nephew's wedding, and then comes the classic "king steals his subject's wife" scenario—the plot is so dramatic and captivating, it's impossible to put down! I highly recommend it! This kind of story, with its fantasy elements and emotional entanglements, is truly impossible to put down once you start reading. The male protagonist's obsession with the female protagonist and the thrilling "king steals his subject's wife" plot are simply incredible!

    Exclusive Love! Exclusive Love! Exclusive Love! The male lead is utterly devoted to the female lead, loving only her and no one else. The female lead is a bit silly. At the beginning, the male lead is somewhat defensive and acts strangely because the female lead doesn't want to enter the palace after her rebirth. I thought it was alright; the couple's playful banter is sweet and sour. However, I saw some negative comments. If you want pure sweetness, skip to the part about the winter hunt and saving the emperor (the male lead orchestrates and performs a scene to save the female lead so she can legitimately enter the palace—it's so satisfying!). It's super sweet then. Moreover, the author's political intrigue and plot are very well written. In the nearly 600,000 words so far, all the political schemes are flawless, and there are often unexpected yet logical plot twists. So far, all the characters, good or bad, have maintained their original personalities, and the characters' motivations and the development of the plot are very complete. The only downside is that the second female lead's "reincarnation" advantage is a bit too strong in the early stages, which is a bit frustrating for the reader. But it gets better after the second female lead is defeated; she's a gentle and kind person.

    This book is absolutely perfect! The later chapters feature the female lead's exclusive affection, she becomes empress, and the epilogue covers two lifetimes, making it three lifetimes in total. There are so many great settings; the author is so skilled at writing. It's definitely worth reading! The male lead truly spoils the female lead rotten, showing her immense respect. It's a lighthearted story with no angst. When the male lead learns that the female lead has taken contraceptives, he's initially a little angry, but he immediately tries to reconcile with her. The female lead's reason for taking contraceptives is that she's afraid of not being able to raise a child properly in that era, and she's also worried about the difficulties of childbirth in ancient times. However, she later gives birth to twins. This book is truly amazing! The female lead also has two good friends in the imperial palace, and they often play cards together. Many scenes had me laughing out loud. The female lead loves reading storybooks and loves to eat; the book describes a lot of food, and reading it at night made me so hungry, haha. I love this book so much!

    It's a great story. Although it's not a virginity story, the male lead doesn't favor any of the other women in the harem after meeting the female lead. His heart and eyes are only for her, and he dotes on her. When the other women in the harem try to harm her, she retaliates each time, and the male lead doesn't say anything, only having his guards secretly observe and report back.

    ① The male lead is love-struck and dotes on the female lead. The female lead is similar to Wu Zetian in character. At the beginning, she deliberately seduces him, and he willingly falls for her. When she re-enters the palace, she is made a Noble Consort, attends the Empress's wedding, and is taught political maneuvering, given power, and favoritism, allowing her influence in both the court and the harem. Two quotes from the male lead: "Perhaps some are after your beauty, perhaps some after your status, perhaps some after your interests, perhaps some are after nothing but simply enjoy watching the flowers bloom. You must get used to it." "You don't believe in love, that's okay. Because I don't want to give you a gilded cage, I want to give you the sky. You must get used to all my unconditional kindness towards you. My goodness, male lead, don't fall too much in love! ② The female lead is a truly favored concubine, and the male lead openly and honestly favors her. Her character is somewhat similar to Mu Jinyao; both are rather alluring favored concubines, and the emperor loves to favor his seductive concubines. ③ The male lead is a mind reader and a love-struck fool. He dotes on the female lead and will do anything for her. The female lead wants to leave the palace, but in order to keep her, he makes her a female official in the Six Ministries, where she is in charge of punishments and wields absolute power to dominate the court and the harem. He lets her do whatever she wants, but he always makes sure she stays. He says, "As long as you don't leave me, even if you cause chaos, it's okay." This is true love.
