   💥 [Palace Intrigue, 10 Non-Double Cleanliness, 10 Late-Stage Exclusive Favor, 10 Female Lead Transmigrates] In the fifth year of Yongyan, the Emperor ordered a grand selection of concubines. Wen Wanyu was the most outstanding in appearance among them. With a charming face, soft voice, and gentle demeanor, she won the Emperor's favor. She was originally the apple of the Emperor's eye, but her father was schemed against and her brother was bullied. Despite her family's objections, she volunteered to enter the palace to protect her family. From the apple of the Wen family's eye to the favored Zhaoyi, and then to the long-reigning Guifei, Wen Wanyu knew exactly what she wanted. The most taboo thing after entering the palace was to fall in love. Faced with the Emperor's sweet words, she appeared moved but remained unmoved. Faced with the concubines' schemes, she retaliated in kind, showing no mercy. Step by step, she slowly climbed to the Emperor's heart over five years. That year, Wen Wanyu was punished by being forced to kneel in the pouring rain. She did not complain like others. She tugged at the hem of his robe, a thin mist obscuring her eyes: "I beg Your Majesty's protection." This was the first time Xie Junyao had ever considered protecting a concubine. It was also the first time his heart stirred. She was pure yet cunning, fragile yet resilient, capable of both love and hate, and most importantly, she understood him. Xie Junyao knew from the beginning that she wasn't a good person, and that there were no good people in this harem. Kind-hearted people had long since perished in the palace's intrigue and treachery. Yet even so, Xie Junyao was still willing to submit. People often said: "The Consort loves the Emperor deeply." But only Xie Junyao knew: it was he who loved deeply. However, as long as Wanwan could stay by his side, that was enough.

    [Strong Male Lead, Strong Female Lead + Favored Concubine + Palace Intrigue + Adorable Baby + Exclusive Favor + Childbirth] (Early stages focus on palace intrigue; the female lead is skilled at acting and scheming against the male lead. Later, their relationship blossoms, and she becomes the sole favorite.) One day, she transmigrates and becomes the illegitimate daughter of the Su family. Her aunt died early, her father is unloved, and her stepmother is cruel. A nobody in the family, she's dragged into the imperial concubine selection in place of her sister. Upon entering the palace, she becomes the emperor's most favored concubine. Possessing a modern soul, she has many ways to control the emperor's heart… Using her astrological sign—the emperor is a Virgo. Using her beauty—she's the best eyeliner artist in the harem. She can also deliver cheesy pick-up lines and cook extraordinary dishes that amaze everyone. Competing for favor? Of course she'll compete. With the emperor's favor, everything is possible; only with his love can she live a life of luxury. Having a child? Of course she had to have a child. With a child, she would no longer be alone in this world. Back in the Su family, she had suffered cold treatment and mistreatment, but after entering the palace in her sister's place, she thrived in the harem. Once she rose to prominence, neither her stepmother nor her biological father could gain any advantage from her. Years later, the Emperor escaped the "palace" with his most favored concubine. "I find the green hills charming, and I suppose the green hills find me equally so. Qingwu, when I first heard your name, I thought it sounded very beautiful." "You old geezer, you're being a bit too mushy..."

She was frightened awake the first time she met his gaze. The second time she saw his face, she was choked by him and frightened. The day after waking up, she suddenly realized that the Emperor she served had the same face as the man in her dream. The Emperor was cold and majestic, but the man in her dream became increasingly gentle. Just as her heart was beginning to waver, she inadvertently learned that they had always been the same person. Meili was so frightened that she packed her bags and tried to escape, but when she successfully left the city gate, she saw the Emperor waiting for her calmly. The Emperor, with his cold and majestic face, slowly approached Meili, but he spoke the promise that Shuli had made in her dream. Every word he spoke made Shuli feel so overwhelmed that she could only retreat in fear and helplessness. Only when there was nowhere left to retreat did the emperor lift Meili's small face and chuckle softly, "You dare to run away after provoking me." There was nowhere to escape. No one knew what happened in front of the emperor that night, but when she returned to the palace, there was a beautiful concubine in the harem. She was safely protected by the emperor and rose to the position of Imperial Concubine.
