   The first book is highly recommended! The imperial concubine is clear-headed and not love-struck; she knows how to use the emperor's favor. The palace intrigue is very enjoyable. The second book is also good; both the male and female leads are reborn. The beginning is quite good, but the ending where the male lead changes his surname to Xiao (Xiao Zhan) really hit me hard. Remember to avoid this book!

   Two books by the same author: ① In the first book, I absolutely loved the male lead's favoritism towards the female lead. He was initially restrained, secretly protecting her. Later, he declared his love for her to the world. ② In the second book, the female lead is aloof and clear-headed, while the male lead is a bit of a jerk (with a touch of forced love). The emotional development is subtle and gradual. In both books, the female lead is the emperor's ideal woman, and the stories revolve around their childhood companionship and mutual affection.

    The second book is finished, so you can read it without worry—it's really good and super sweet. The third book has a male lead who forcibly takes the female lead, leading to a tragic chase and her dying a horrible death. The first book is also very good, but the rating isn't very high; the supporting characters are a bit dim-witted.

    A romance between a master and disciple, a cultivation novel featuring an emperor and empress. The male and female leads are powerful allies, not only comrades-in-arms but also each other's only refuge. The author's writing is delicate yet powerful, sketching a grand world and moving emotions with just a few strokes. The biggest surprise is their child, born an incomparably noble imperial prince—absolutely adorable! I'm too inept to write more, please skip to the main text. I highly recommend this to all sisters who enjoy strong-strong relationships, sweet romance without angst, and virginity!!
