   Tomato's God-Tier Female-Oriented Ancient Romance Novel 🍅‼️ It's incredibly good, you can read it countless times and never get tired of it 🤩 In my opinion, it's a masterpiece 🔥 1: Power Struggle and Palace Intrigue ❤️ The black lotus heroine is a slave girl, but she has the face of a phoenix. The mistress of the house not only doesn't kill her, but also spends a lot of money to cultivate her and build her momentum, successfully sending her into the palace. The young emperor, the male lead, falls in love with her at first sight 💘 and immediately makes her empress 👑 In order to protect the secret of her background and power, she almost kills her way through the harem, but the emperor, the male lead, loves her to the bone and just can't bring himself to punish her, he can't even ignore her at all. The most divine part is the final, deathbed confession. The emperor already knew the female lead was originally a slave, and he knew she was ruthless and a bloodthirsty killer, but he was only grateful that he was the emperor and could help her. He also longed to be protected by her without hesitation just once 😭 Super heart-wrenching. 2: Ancient romance novel with a strong female lead 🌹 A noble princess from a powerful family is forced into a political marriage with a prince, but the prince's heart belongs to another, and he plans to use her and her family as tools. After collapsing in the rain, the female lead awakens and immediately leads her family to ally with the prince who is her husband's enemy, protecting her family and killing the male lead, her enemy 👍 In the process, she meets a mysterious spy, and the two are drawn into a tug-of-war between their lucidity and infatuation, super addictive and sweet ✌️ Both are excellent works with smooth logic and novel plots 😍

    First book: A very good book. It's been a long time since I've read a book in one go. The characters are vividly portrayed. The female lead is lively, cute, innocent, and skilled in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She even became the top female scholar in the imperial examination, briefly stunning the officialdom. Her only flaw is her ignorance of romantic relationships, but that's also a highlight of the book. When the male lead is unhappy, she actually makes him nurse to appease him [facepalm][facepalm]. After two nights of intimacy, she assumes she'll be pregnant with twins... And of course, it turns out she really is twins [laughing and crying]. She's very insightful in dealing with people and her advice to others is clear, logical, and reasonable. The scenes of her fighting with the fourth young master of the same age, climbing trees, and fishing in the water are very vivid. A humorous and insightful work! Second book: A big production. It has court intrigue, family feuds, and love and hate. The story structure is very reasonable and rigorous, with no flaws. It's captivating and keeps you reading. The ending even has a suggestive twist [facepalm]. Definitely worth reading.
