   The first book features forced love, and the palace intrigue is well-written. The second book has a male lead who is not pure, but the writing is excellent, and he becomes the sole favorite in the later stages. It's a slow-paced transmigration novel, quite long, but you won't want to stop reading. The third book has no romance; the female lead is insightful and focuses on her career throughout. There's only one instance of system punishment in the early stages, and the system doesn't reappear later. These three books each have their own flaws and unique characteristics. I chose them based on reviews, but the palace intrigue is very well written.
