    These books are all great. The first one is about a female protagonist who is reborn and doted on by the male protagonist. It's super good! Although she's a concubine, her name is on the imperial jade tablet and in the ancestral hall; the empress is just a figurehead. The second one I'm currently following is about a male protagonist who is later an emperor. The female protagonist is the daughter of a general. After her parents died for their country, the male protagonist arranged for the emperor to place her under the empress's care, using the empress's lifelong desire for a daughter as a reason. The emperor, knowing the male protagonist's feelings for the female protagonist, is a great help. After his death, he was supposed to announce the news three years later, but he left a will urging the two to marry as soon as possible. I won't say more, just read it! The third one is also very good and has a high rating; you won't regret it.

    [Admiration] (Highly recommended; if you can see my reading time, you'll know I really finished it.) These two palace intrigue novels are the most enjoyable I've found on Tomato Books so far. Every character is very well-developed, and the female leads are both absolutely beautiful, especially the first one, "The Beauty of the Six Palaces is Unmatched" (However, those who prefer 1v1 might want to proceed with caution, as the male leads in both novels are presumably impure in the early stages).
