   Reader note

   🍀With a privileged family background, stunning beauty, and being the emperor's unattainable ideal, Consort Jiang Hui should have had an easy time as a concubine. Unfortunately, her superficial sisters in the Eastern Palace, the constant stream of beautiful women from various prefectures, and so-called substitutes with similar looks and temperaments all tell her that no one in the harem can walk on flat ground. 😍Neither the male nor female lead falls in love with each other. The male lead's feelings for the female lead are clouded by admiration and the "white moonlight" filter, but he is a normal emperor who won't wholeheartedly love someone or sacrifice himself for others. For him, liking someone is the most he can give. The female lead harbors childhood feelings for the male lead; she respects him as emperor and misses her childhood third brother. But precisely because the male lead is a good emperor, she won't fall in love with him. (Fictional setting + pure palace intrigue + completed)
