   This is a perfect match, there is no double chastity, there is no dismissal for the heroine, and the harem is not full of the heroine's children. There is no normal Gong Douwen in the front who only dotes on the heroine in the back. The author talks about taking the historical line.

   1️⃣The heroine who traveled through time only regarded the queen as a job from beginning to end, so naturally she would not fall in love with the emperor, her boss. This book is quite good, but the author didn't write about love in the end. 2️⃣ With the intention of finding out the truth about her father's murder and taking revenge on her best friend, the heroine entered the palace and became the successor. Naturally, she never loved the hero, the emperor.

    Palace fight plus romance. If you are tired of reading the same template articles, you can read this one. It's very different and unconventional. The novel is of high quality and very enjoyable to read. Based on the theme of Qing Dynasty, a female professor of modern history accidentally dressed in an ancient palace and became an emperor's favorite concubine. In the early stage, he always avoided being favored, but in the later stage, he was favored exclusively. Both the male and female protagonists have peerless looks. The heroine is gentle, cold and indifferent, and has no fight with the world. The male protagonist is unparalleled in the world, and the stranger is like jade. The heroine's sole pampering arouses the jealousy of the entire harem, fierce palace battles, and the heroine's suffering. The heroine takes revenge and tears apart the vicious female partner without mercy. The female protagonist successfully travels back to modern times, and the imperial male protagonist pursues her love into modern times. Extreme pulling, full sexual tension, overflowing hormones, lots of sticking, haha
