   The description is quite detailed. Although the male lead was initially impure, he was very trustworthy. Later, 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, he saw her and was furious. She retorted, "You've picked them up before, why can't I?" He 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, yelling, "What are you doing? Didn't I say you couldn't touch them?" I laughed so hard watching this scene! Actually, the female lead was somewhat disgusted with the male lead in the early stages, but she only acted out of necessity for survival.

   Both of these stories feature men who are not chaste and have children (two or three), but after meeting the female lead, they don't favor any other concubines. In the story of the concubine's daughter, the male lead dotes on her immensely. He fell in love with her four years prior and hasn't visited the harem since. Upon entering the palace, she becomes the head of the palace and is given the title of "Yuan." In the story of the little palace maid, the male lead gradually realizes his feelings for the female lead, who is more clear-headed.

   This is seriously amazing! It doesn't torture the female lead; the female lead is of noble birth, and the male lead only sees her as one of his own kind, never having loved anyone else. However, because it leans towards realism, the male lead has a child, but that's completely unimportant; it didn't feel awkward at all while watching. In fact, after finishing it, I really liked the male and female leads. Every character is unique and well-developed.

    1. The female lead in this book is a time traveler, solely focused on survival (her original family background wasn't powerful). The male lead gradually falls for her, initially not exclusively, but later becoming his sole favorite. The female lead remains very clear-headed, always prioritizing her own interests. She only begins to open up after realizing the male lead is completely smitten. 3. This one features a female lead solely focused on palace intrigue, aiming to make her son emperor and herself empress dowager. The male lead is consistently a scoundrel. The main appeal is the female lead's genuine wisdom and clarity; her interactions with other concubines and her own child are well-written. If you want a palace intrigue story with a strong female lead, this is worth reading. 4. In her previous life, the male lead was a scoundrel who didn't love the female lead, causing her family's ruin. In this life, reborn, she knows she can't escape the palace, so she's very clear-headed and tries to win her heart. The male lead eventually falls for her, but she doesn't forgive him. This one truly showcases her clear-headedness. In summary: all three books have their strengths and weaknesses, but overall they are all good. Truly, Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people.
