    This is a palace intrigue novel, but there aren't many palace intrigue dramas. Most are domestic power struggles. The first book is about a female protagonist who transmigrates into the body of a princess who keeps male concubines and mistreats a hostage prince from a neighboring country. However, because she transmigrates into the book and knows all the plot details, she gradually starts to treat the hostage prince better, leading to a happy ending. The second book is about a female protagonist whose family falls on hard times and is adopted by the male protagonist's family. The male protagonist has always been afraid of the female protagonist's advances and is initially embarrassed to admit it. Later, due to various reasons, the male and female protagonists leave the capital and start their careers as soldiers. The female protagonist also develops her own business. It's an ensemble novel. After the male and female protagonists start over, a group of friends also work together to solve many suspenseful cases. It's very good and highly recommended.

    In feudal society, a woman's fate was like a dandelion seed, its destiny beyond her control... Because her silversmith husband was heavily in debt from gambling, she was sold to Prince Xiang. 🥺🥺🥺 Although a wife, she was beautiful and danced gracefully. Zhao Heng had long been infatuated with her and secretly rejoiced that his beloved Liu E'er could enter his household. Emperor Taizong objected, and Zhao Heng kept Liu E hidden away in the Zhang residence for over ten years. She dared to call herself Prince Xiang's son, and only after Taizong's death did he dare to bring her into the palace. Among the thousands of women in the harem, the woman he longed to see after returning from war was still her. In the palace, she was intelligent and rational, and everyone respected her. 👍 Unfortunately, she was almost 50 years old and still couldn't have a child. Because of her son, the ministers opposed Liu Heng making her empress. Later, people around Liu E suggested that her maid give birth to her and recognize her as their child. Finally, she was made empress. [Top Post][Top Post][Top Post] If you blossom, butterflies will come; if you are wonderful, heaven will arrange things.
