   I cried buckets when Qiao Nan died in the first book; I consider myself quite sensitive to tears. The second book was also angsty, but I didn't cry. In the third book, I really liked the concubines; if they hadn't entered the palace, they would have lived very happily (no tears). The first book is the only one that made me want to cry a little when I read it a second time. I only really appreciate angst after reading it once; I can't feel it a second time. Does anyone have any recommendations for angst-filled historical romance novels? Please!

    The Queen of Torture and Romance's most triumphant masterpieces‼️ Each one is top-tier, already completed, so please enjoy! 🔥 Very charming and novel, with clear-headed and rational female protagonists who are not saints. In the end, they all achieve fame and fortune, possessing immense power, but the process is torturous, painful and heartbreaking, yet very reassuring😌✌️❤️ 1: Domestic intrigue + palace intrigue🩷 A bit tear-jerking, similar to the melancholy of an unfulfilled love😭 My beloved, unforgettable female supporting character! The daughter of a jade merchant meets a down-on-his-luck prince who has fallen into poverty, but there is no spark of affection between them until they fight assassins in a dilapidated temple. She falls in love with him, but he falls in love with another extremely delicate woman. By chance, he is helped to the throne by a powerful minister. 👑🍅 He didn't love her, but respected her and needed her wisdom to help him navigate the power struggles between officials and the emperor. She, in turn, coexisted peacefully with his lover. She loved him, and therefore loved him in a way that pleased the male lead. 😍🍅 In the end, it was that seemingly fragile woman who ultimately protected the female lead with her own life. 😊 The story leaves one with a sense of melancholy; it's rare to find a male and female lead who don't fall in love, yet mutually utilize each other without competition. The impact is profound. 2: Palace Intrigue and Power ❤️ The seemingly innocent but actually cunning female lead is born a slave girl, yet possesses the face of a phoenix. The matriarch not only spares her life but also invests heavily in her upbringing and promotion, successfully sending her into the palace. The young emperor falls in love with her at first sight 💘 and immediately makes her empress 👑 To protect the secret of her origins and her power, she constantly plots to use external forces to overthrow her enemies, almost destroying the harem. However, the emperor loves her to the bone and cannot bring himself to punish her, not even by neglecting her. 😍 The most divine part is the final deathbed confession. The emperor already knew the female lead was originally a slave, and he also knew she was ruthless and a mass murderer. But he was only grateful that he was the emperor and could help her. However, he also longed to be protected by her without hesitation just once. 😭 Super tear-jerking. 3: A divine work with profound thoughts and a strong sense of national sentiment. It has great depth, very positive values, and is also a high-level female-oriented story. It really amazed me! ️ Two strong intellectual lovers. I couldn't forget it for a long time after finishing it. ✌️🏆 The male lead is a spirited young general. However, in the chaotic world, he had to hide his identity, but his passion remained unchanged. ❤️ In the end, the male lead regained his identity as a young marshal and rushed to the battlefield, but he never returned. The female lead's mother was a wealthy socialite, and she was the most rebellious heiress, always ready to fight anyone she saw. However, her mother was assassinated while protecting cultural relics and supplying the front lines. This experience shattered her worldview, causing her to mature overnight. While studying abroad, she investigated the truth behind her mother's death and met the patriotic young man who had been supported by her mother. Their meeting seemed destined, as if by blood, leading them to embark on a path of protecting their country. The romance is incredibly sweet!
