   [Laughing][Laughing] The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a newly selected beauty in the palace with a wishing system. The system only allows one wish per month. Because the male protagonist (the emperor) can only have princesses and no princes, the women in this batch of candidates have good figures but only passable looks. The female protagonist is the one with the best figure but the worst appearance. She relies on the system to slowly change her appearance and make the male protagonist fall in love with her. The female protagonist is also cunning and resourceful, not a saint. She gives birth to twins, triplets, and quadruplets, a total of nine children. In the later stages, the male protagonist dotes on the female protagonist. The novel is humorous and witty, and the content is rich and colorful.

    Reader note

    The first book is a strong female lead novel; no one else gets to suffer, but the female lead is always the one who gets hurt. She goes crazy as she pleases. The second book features a manipulative, seemingly innocent but actually manipulative female lead. She pretends to be weak or uses cunning to win over the male lead. She's not a good person; she's wicked in various ways, but it's very engaging.

    The female lead is very clear-headed from beginning to end. This is a fanfiction about Consort Jing from "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It's not mindless palace intrigue, involves multiple pregnancies, doesn't feature two virgins, and doesn't exclusively favor the emperor. The female lead doesn't love the emperor and is vengeful.
