    Empress Wenzhao, a famously "enchanting" concubine and also the most talented empress, experienced many changes in reputation and status throughout her life, but this did not diminish her status and research value. Because she was well-cared for at home and had a plump, healthy appearance, Qi Jiao was sold to the palace as a maid after the flood. Later, she became a maid in the Empress's palace. A few years later, she was promoted to the Eastern Palace as a concubine. Qi Jiao always adhered to the theory that it was better to live a miserable life than to die, and she could survive anywhere. Although she was a concubine, it was still a promotion. However, the Crown Prince seemed a bit difficult to serve. "Aren't you that fat girl in the Empress Dowager's palace?" Qi Jiao, who had hoped to make a good impression on the Crown Prince on their first meeting as a concubine, froze. Was this the impression she had given him all these years?

    Don't be fooled by the book's title; it might seem like the relationships are complex, but the story is actually quite simple and clear—a very enjoyable read. The female protagonist was a noblewoman in her past life. She was murdered at the birth of her own child, forced by her ex-husband to adopt his ungrateful illegitimate son, and then murdered by the Marquis's cousin, whom he had seduced. She died on the day the Marquis conferred the title of concubine. After her death, the Marquis realized she was his true love. In this new life, the female protagonist transmigrates from modern times to a wealthy family. In her past life, she married a scholar who became the top scholar in the imperial examinations and eventually the Grand Secretary. She was poisoned by her adopted son, and her younger sister, a concubine in the Marquis's household, was murdered in the backyard. The sister is reborn and immediately tries to steal her husband. The protagonist, driven to suicide by the forced marriage, is saved and briefly possessed by the Marquis's wife, who agrees to let her enter the mansion's backyard. The next day, she is pushed into a pool, and the protagonist arrives. Using her management skills and money, she controls the male protagonist, his wife, and their two children. The female protagonist dreams of the story of the Marquis's wife and the original owner of the body, and learns the male protagonist's identity. The two decide to compete for the throne, and the male protagonist is enfeoffed as the Prince of Jing. The female protagonist's mother is favored by the emperor's younger brother, the Prince of Su, and becomes a concubine. The emperor also wants the position of concubine for the female protagonist. The male protagonist learns a clue about his biological mother. The female protagonist finds the Marquis's wife's son and is saved by a divine doctor who has traveled through time and is bound to a system. She takes the son home to inherit the title and returns to her maternal family to reunite with her relatives. The female protagonist's good friend, Princess Lingyue, is in love with the prime minister. The prime minister decides to support the male protagonist. In order to be with the princess in the future, the crown prince raises a private army, which is discovered by the male protagonist. He tells the emperor, and the emperor asks the male protagonist to save the crown prince's life and let him go into seclusion. The male protagonist sends the crown prince to Yan Kingdom to make a name for himself. The former crown prince stirs up trouble and has a great time. The male protagonist is enfeoffed as the crown prince and dotes on the female protagonist. He dismisses the harem for the female protagonist. The male protagonist knows his mother is an empress. He and the former crown prince conquer the Yan Kingdom. Other countries are in turmoil, so they help quell the rebellion and conquer them. The emperor abdicates, and the male protagonist becomes the emperor, while the female protagonist becomes the imperial concubine. (I think this is a very well written review.)

    Tired of the typical rebirth and revenge trope in novels? Give this a try. The title includes "rebirth," and the beginning seems plausible, but as you read on, you'll discover it's entirely different. The author uses solid writing and original poetry to unfold a meticulously detailed fictional world set in the Northern Song Dynasty, weaving together a complex web of power struggles and psychological warfare. The female protagonist is a modern soul who has transmigrated, unconstrained by feudal ideology, and shares the stage with a host of compelling characters. The plot twists are incredibly exciting. Just when I thought it was a typical domestic drama, it already possessed a profound core themes of trauma and healing, leaving the reader deeply moved and even prompting a second reading. Those with a low tear threshold should proceed with caution, but this is definitely a sincere work whose value is overshadowed by its title.
