   Highly recommended!!! These are top-rated historical romance novels! The first one is about a spoiled, pampered concubine versus a gentle, cunning emperor. The female lead, Jiang Shuyi, was a favored concubine for 15 years, but was betrayed by her treacherous younger sister, and even her own son refused to acknowledge her. Only the emperor still loved her, imprisoning her and leaving her to rely solely on him. Reborn ten years in the past, she decides to abandon her treacherous son, take revenge on her sister, and win the emperor's heart to live a good life with him. The second one has four volumes, all featuring Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao. The female lead, Su Jingyao, transmigrates into the book as the crown prince's concubine. The story follows her as she exposes the scheming crown princess's true nature, while the male lead falls in love with her and becomes empress. The third one is about a wicked, spoiled, and foolish beauty versus a crazy, love-struck emperor. The female lead, Yue Li, is the top courtesan at the Fengyue Pavilion. She seduces the crazy male lead and becomes his favored concubine, dying three years later during a rebellion.

    Reader note

    This is a good read. It's a pure historical romance, an arranged marriage that blossoms into love, and the two families are well-matched. The female lead is the eldest daughter of the prestigious Cui family, and the male lead is the second son of the Xie family. Their relationship develops gradually, and the male lead is very good to the female lead. What impressed me most was when the male and female leads built their own mansions later in the story. When the female lead was giving birth to her second or third child, the male lead's mother arrived late (because the male lead is the second son, and his mother values ​​her eldest sons and daughters more than her younger ones). The male lead was very angry and explained the difference between a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law to his mother. He argued that his mother should have come immediately upon hearing that her daughter-in-law was giving birth, even if she couldn't do anything to reassure everyone. However, his mother said that the two mansions were some distance apart and that her grandson had typhoid fever and needed care, so she thought it was the same if she came late.

    I've been reading novels since middle school, and I'm tired of all kinds of genres, but this one truly resonated with me. The writing is exceptionally good; it's no wonder it's written by a Tsinghua/Peking University liberal arts graduate, PhD, and university professor. After reading this book, I believe everyone will gain some insight. There is no absolute good or evil, no absolute right or wrong. Rather than saying a group of courtesans are changing history, it's more accurate to say that the times and fate are pushing everyone to follow their predetermined path. It's an ensemble piece, using three courtesans as a thread to explore the lives and destinies of hundreds of characters. It's very engaging, and if you're tired of fast-paced novels, this is a must-read! Recommendation rating: 4.5 Stars. I'll give it 5 stars when the third volume comes out.

    The male lead is extremely obsessive, yandere, and perverted. Enter at your own risk! Enter at your own risk! Enter at your own risk! (Not for the average reader) The male lead is super, super perverted! Obsessive!!! I never thought there was such a novel. I couldn't stop reading even late at night. The male lead completely sealed the female lead's spiritual power, locked her in the room, and wouldn't let her out. He's constantly clinging to her, and he gets jealous and goes crazy if anyone else even glances at her or touches her! ദ്ദി˶>ᴗO)✧ദ്ദി˶>v<)✧
