   Forced into becoming a concubine after being transmigrated, luckily the emperor is handsome and young. The emperor's male lead dotes on her with his life. Tired of the same old formulaic novels? Check this one out. It's very different, unconventional, a high-quality and highly readable story. A Qing Dynasty transmigration story, a modern history professor unexpectedly transmigrates into the ancient palace and becomes the emperor's favored concubine. She initially avoids his favor, but later becomes his sole favorite. Both the male and female leads are stunningly beautiful. The female lead is gentle, aloof, and indifferent to worldly affairs. The male lead is a peerless gentleman, a gentleman of jade-like elegance. The female lead's exclusive favor attracts the jealousy of the entire harem, leading to fierce palace intrigue and immense suffering for her. She seeks revenge, tearing apart the vicious female supporting characters without mercy. She successfully transmigrates back to the modern era, where the emperor's male lead pursues her there. Extreme tension, high-energy, hormone-fueled, lots of intimate moments, haha.
