   I stayed up two all-nighters to finish it; once I started, I couldn't put it down. It's incredibly good. The characters in the Prince's mansion are all incredibly skilled at scheming and power struggles—they're amazing! The Empress's death at the end was so heartbreaking. Every character is well-developed and feels real. I didn't expect Consort Hui to die while investigating who harmed the Empress. The male lead doesn't just dote on the female lead like in other novels; he also investigates thoroughly who harmed whom. It seems like only the female lead's older sister, Xie Jiang, lives a good and carefree life in this book.

    Good palace intrigue novels where the female lead is clear-headed and not love-struck! ① The first book features a female lead of noble birth, the male lead's cousin and the daughter of a princess. It's a fairly realistic palace intrigue novel where both the male and female leads are clear-headed and not love-struck. The male lead is partial to the female lead but not exclusively devoted to her. These two childhood sweethearts, who share a bed, wear masks and act their whole lives—it's hard to say if that's tragic. ② The second book features a female lead who enters the palace through a selection process. She is clear-headed, experiences setbacks, and ultimately has a happy ending. This is driven by the times and reality, but it also reflects the female lead's true inner feelings!

Luckily, the kind-hearted old lady of the General's Mansion bought her for two taels of silver, preventing her from dying immediately upon transmigrating.

Years later, looking back at the group of little brats following her, R Ci sighed with pride. With people above and below supporting her, life was wonderful.

    I found the first three books incredibly good. In the first one, the female lead knew what she wanted, didn't love the male lead, and eventually became empress herself. In the second one, the female lead had a high social status, was childhood sweethearts with the male lead, and was also very clear-headed. In the third one, the female lead transmigrated and was bound to a life simulator; she had to become a concubine before the age of 30, or she would die suddenly at 30.
