   They're all time-travel palace intrigue stories set in the Qing Dynasty, with many children, and most have special abilities (like having a cheat code). Most are set in the Kangxi Emperor's era, with two others involving the fourth emperor's concubine. Some of the Kangxi-era characters are outwardly shrewd and clear-headed, while others later genuinely favor him. However, most of them are still unfinished.

   The first book is **"From the Eldest Daughter of a Marquis's Family to the Most Favored Concubine: Her Palace Intrigue Journey Relies Entirely on Acting Skills!"** "Zheng Shuning: I entered the palace not to compete for favor, but to slap the faces of scumbags!" Zheng Shuning, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, comes from a prestigious family but is forced into the palace. She appears gentle and delicate, but is actually cunning and ruthless— The Empress makes things difficult? She uses her "innocence" to make the Empress suffer the consequences. Concubines frame her? She uses her "weakness and pitifulness" to win the Emperor's pity, then sends them to the Cold Palace. In just three years, she rises from a lowly concubine to a Noble Consort, not through luck, but through meticulous scheming. **Recommendation Reasons:** Palace intrigue + cunning female lead + extreme growth! Zheng Shuning's "gentleness" is just a disguise; every step she takes is fraught with hidden cunning. The Emperor's journey from routine summons to lifelong exclusive favor is full of high-energy plot twists, and the female lead's transformation from pawn to player is incredibly satisfying! Everything else is also very good!

    This book fits the theme perfectly—palace intrigue. The female lead remains remarkably clear-headed, earning her rank through bearing children and hard work. She even adopts the Fourth Prince, ultimately deposing Empress Dowager Wuya—all thanks to a will left by Emperor Kangxi.

    1. I've watched it multiple times. The female lead treats being the empress like a job, striving for what's rightfully hers. She watches as the emperor favors one empress after another, but later on, the emperor's attention shifts more and more towards his youngest empress. 2. It all started off disastrously.
