    The first book is a succession struggle novel. The title makes it seem like a story about having children, but it's actually a political intrigue novel about nine princes vying for the throne. I used to dislike the Qing Dynasty and wouldn't read anything about it (except for *Empresses in the Palace*). But I really liked this one! The second and fourth books (both with female protagonists in the harem) are succession struggle novels. I followed the third book as a serialized novel, and the plot was very good. The male lead only appears two-thirds of the way through the story, which is the biggest flaw. After he appears, the female lead seems a bit dim-witted. The author even had us readers guess who the male lead was beforehand.
