    I personally quite liked it; the characters were vividly portrayed, a true ensemble piece in ancient Chinese literature. It witnessed the heroine's growth from a newly arrived palace maid to Empress. I particularly liked Consort Shu, who came from a military family. She should have been fighting on the northern frontier, not confined within these massive palace walls, given the title "Shu" (virtuous). The Emperor loved Shen Jiaojiao, but Jiang Yingliu was ultimately not Shen Jiaojiao.

    This fits perfectly. It's a danmaku (bullet comment) novel where the female lead, a short drama writer, transmigrates into her own scripted drama. However, the plot changes, the second male lead, who can read her mind, forcibly tries to seduce her, and the original female lead tries to harm her. Luckily, the danmaku helps her. The female lead even banters with the danmaku. The male and female leads have an arranged marriage that blossoms into love, and the regent rebels for the sake of his queen. The male lead is cunning, and the female lead is quirky. The male lead can see the female lead's level of affection for him and gradually wins her over. One often laments: "Why is the affection level increasing so slowly?" There's an adorable baby later on. 🤤

    A historical romance novel I've read countless times, with a truly imaginative plot! 🌈🌈 The male lead, a doting older man, is a typical father figure. On their wedding night, fearing his wife might be uncomfortable, he only made love once and then held her until they slept. The second night, he didn't touch her to ensure she was energetic for her homecoming the next day. The wife, however, was secretly thinking, "Old men are so useless! Should I buy him some tonics?" Unfortunately, the male lead overheard her thoughts and was furious! Since returning home, she hadn't left her courtyard for five days. She hurriedly called her maid, "Quick, get me some tonics to help me recover!"
