    Super sweet!! Highly recommended!!! 🥰🥰🥰🤤🤤🤤 Yun Weiwei transmigrated into the body of Yun Wei, a maidservant in the Crown Prince's mansion, and immediately began serving him in bed. Rumor had it that the Crown Prince possessed extraordinary stamina, so while his mansion was filled with countless beauties, few could withstand his charm. Yun Weiwei, however, could. She boldly grabbed the Crown Prince's wrist, pinning him beneath her, her words and actions utterly seductive. In the secluded courtyard, he cried for water six times that night, and the Crown Prince's mansion was transformed. A spoiled and demanding concubine appeared, gradually defeating the Crown Princess. No one expected this concubine's fate to reverse so dramatically! The Crown Prince thus naturally elevated her to Crown Princess! However, the usually attentive Yun Weiwei suddenly became indifferent and aloof, arranging for the Crown Prince to take in several concubines. The Crown Prince, exasperated, accused, "Weiwei, you haven't touched me lately!" Yun Weiwei calmly shooed him away, "We're practically an old married couple, hasn't Your Highness had enough sleep? Go away, go play with those little girls~" The Crown Prince pleaded pitifully, "Weiwei~ I only want you!"

    The first book features a stunningly beautiful female lead who starts as a mistress, but the male lead falls in love at first sight. Her character's actions have a surprising twist, and the author's plot is very clear, which I appreciate. In the second book, she also becomes a concubine, but her identity isn't really a secondary one. She's quite pampered and gradually grows stronger, despite constantly reminding herself not to be love-struck, she still falls for him nonetheless.
