   The character of Qianqian is described in great detail. Although the male lead was initially impure, he was very trustworthy. Later on, he did whatever Qianqian asked him to do and was extremely obedient to her. Before he fell in love with her, his thinking was a bit scummy; he wanted to marry her but also desired Qianqian. However, after realizing his love for her, he became incredibly doting on her. When the female lead went to a bar and picked up male models, the male lead saw her and was furious. But she retorted, "You've picked them up before, why can't I?" The male lead could only say, "Don't be angry, don't be angry." But when he saw her eagerly touching another man's abs in front of him, he went crazy and said, "What are you doing? Didn't I say you couldn't touch them?" I laughed so hard watching this part!

   All three books are historical romances, with the male lead being an emperor. The female lead initially receives his favor, becoming his sole favorite in the middle of the story, before eventually dismissing the rest of the harem.

   Note: The male lead is not chaste and has a child! If you mind this, you can skip it! Also, the third book isn't a female-dominated novel, but the female lead's daughter ascends the throne! You can consider it before reading. If you really can't get through half of it, don't continue reading. The first book is about Zheng Shuning and Fu Junyi. Note: The male lead is not chaste, but the female lead is. If you mind this, you can skip it. If you don't mind, you can read it. The male lead falls for the female lead, and later the female lead also falls for the male lead and likes and loves Fu Junyi. The male lead also falls for and loves the female lead. If you mind this, you can skip it. If you don't mind, you can consider reading it. The second book is about Pei Tingyue and Xie Chen. Note: It's not a double chaste novel, but it seems to be a transmigration story after the male lead's sexual encounter? Later, the male lead is the only one who loves the female lead because he used her in the early stages? Shen Yuyao isn't Xie Chen's white moonlight; she just uses the male lead. The male lead falls for and likes and loves the female lead, and later the female lead also falls for the male lead and likes and loves Xie Chen. If you mind this, you can skip it. If you don't mind, you can read it! The third book is about Shen Jiayu and Pei Yan. Note that the male lead is not chaste while the female lead is. If you mind, you can skip it. If you don't mind, you can read the later part where the female lead is the sole focus of his affections! Also, after the female lead serves the emperor, the male lead doesn't seek out anyone else? Previously, the male lead used the female lead, the concubines in the harem, and the court to maintain balance and control. In a few episodes, it was that Consort Lu who went to see the male lead? Later, he fell in love with the female lead and gradually stopped using her? And later, the female lead also fell in love with the male lead and also fell in love with Pei Yan.
