Does fighting against the emperor, fighting against the prince, fighting against the queen mother, and finally becoming the emperor fit this title? I love this book so much, so much! A book that has nothing to do with my ex-husband. Highly recommended for those who like ancient palace and house fights. I like the various deputy CPs in it.

I highly recommend "Fuck the Civet, I'm going to get rich this time!" "Brain-burning index: ★★★★★ Plot highlights: 1. Anti-routine rebirth setting: After the heroine Huanbi (a derivative character in "The Legend of Zhen Huan") was reborn, she refused to be a virgin and directly started the "blackening" route - first killing Shen Meizhuang, reporting the affair between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo, and then supporting Concubine Hua to ascend to the throne, completely subverting the relationship network of the characters in the original drama. Every action is in sharp contrast with the original work, and readers need to constantly overturn their preconceived perceptions. 2. Multi-line power play: ◦ Bright line: The heroine circulates in the harem as a female official, taking advantage of the conflict between the concubine Hua and the queen to reap profits. ◦ Hidden thread: Through cases such as "Five Princesses Having Diarrhea", the secret transaction between the Queen Mother and the Eldest Princess is revealed. Behind the case, multiple forces including the imperial physician, palace maids, guards, etc. Are involved, and the clues are intertwined and complicated. 3. Description of psychological warfare: The rivalry between the heroine and Zhen Huan can be called the "palace fighting version of Werewolf". For example, the heroine pretends to seek refuge with Zhen Huan, but actually mixes a chronic poison into her anti-fetal medicine. She appears to be gentle and considerate, but is actually cautious at every step. The language hides multiple metaphors, and the true intention can only be seen through the context. Reader comments: • "Every time I thought the heroine would be slapped in the face, it turned out that she was playing a big game of chess and her brain cells were not enough!" • "The author played new tricks with the characters in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Concubine Hua actually became the heroine's ally. I give this move full marks!"

Seeking power + high IQ game + layout, the characters are very full of character. Although the heroine and the male lead are in a hostile relationship, they are all strategizing for their respective families. The game between them is very exciting. They take one step at a time and see ten steps, and each step is a success. It is not a forced intelligence, nor is it to weaken the supporting role to set off the protagonist. What they compete for is IQ and strategy! That's why this novel is my favorite

Recommended by chance 🌈2.📖 "Spring Beauty in the Deep Palace" | Queling Banquet 🌈Shen Qinghe has been crawling around in the palace for more than ten years, originally thinking of being rewarded and leaving the palace, or becoming a stable female official. 🐖As fate would have it, a decree dragged her into a harem fight and transformed her into a palace concubine. 🌈Emperor Xiao Qi seems to be aloof,🐴but he has hidden feelings for Shen Qinghe and silently condones her petty willfulness. Shen Qinghe was in a complicated harem. From a passive response at the beginning, he later had to take the initiative for the sake of his unborn child and the people he loved, and had fierce battles with other concubines. 🐕In the process, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up, and they worked hand in hand to move forward in the whirlpool of intrigue and emotion. 🌈This book is written in a delicate way, vividly depicting the ups and downs of the harem, and the characters are vivid and three-dimensional. 🧸The emotional pull between the male and female protagonists is even more addictive, and the plot of the palace battle is gripping and not procrastinating at all! 🌟

The first book [crossing the book, men are not pure women, palace fights, fighting each other's hearts, HE] The prince Jun Zechen is used to seeing scheming women, and he only loves simple and kind-hearted characters. While fighting outside the Great Wall, she met Ling Yue and was attracted by her free and easy kindness. They promised her to be together for the rest of their lives. However, two years have passed and the Crown Princess has not been able to conceive. With the holy will, Su Jingyao, the daughter of Shangshu Ling, was appointed as the crown prince's concubine and shouldered the important task of continuing the emperor's heirs. She is only fifteen years old and has traveled through ancient times for fifteen years. She has grown from a baby to a peerless beauty. When she was ten years old, she accidentally learned that the world she was in was a novel she had read in modern times. In the book, the male protagonist Jun Zechen and the female protagonist Ling Yue develop from a teenage friendship to a time when they hate each other. And Su Jingyao was a concubine given to the Crown Prince by His Majesty when their friendship was at its peak. However, she died in depression in the East Palace because she was not favored by the Crown Prince. Su Jingyao, who came from modern times, does not believe in love, but only believes in herself. No matter she is in modern times or ancient times, she always has high aspirations and wants to reach 90,000 miles. Men belong to her; power is what she desires. Volume 1: The main text: The ambitious heroine cuts off the thorns with her shawl and fights for the throne. Volume 2: Jun Yao is born into a pair of pure and sweet pets! Volume 3: The original book Jun's rebirth - a domineering and willful concubine vs. An indifferent old man (Chasing Wife Crematorium). Volume 4: Modern - Yaoyao's love history. [Note: The male and female protagonists of the four volumes are Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen] The second volume of the charming and scheming concubine * the deep and cold emperor (soul travel + palace fighting + non-shuangjie + later exclusive favor) In the third year of Zhaowu, Wen Zhuohua gave up his original path and entered the palace through a draft. She likes wealth and power. In the whole world, there is nothing but the royal land, and there is nothing in this world that can be more respected than the imperial power. After entering the palace, she made every move in the harem; in the emperor's presence, she acted every time. Wen Zhuohua ascended to the position of imperial concubine from Chang Zai in the shortest time, and was ranked as the deputy empress. Not only that, she also wanted the future heir of the great Chong Kingdom to have her bloodline! When the world mentioned the current sage Xiao Aoyuan, they all praised him as a wise monarch, and at the same time, he also had the decisiveness and ruthlessness of an emperor. Even Xiao Yuyuan himself thinks so. But there are always exceptions, and his exception is her. At first he thought she was squeamish and naive, but later he caught a glimpse of her sporadic ambitions in the details. Even though he knows that her sincerity towards him is mixed with interests, fortunately, he can afford her what she wants! 1. Wen Zhuohua: Can she really afford it? Xiao Longyuan: You have no joke. Wen Zhuohua: But what about the chair she wants to sit under? Ps: The female protagonist has great ambitions and strives for the highest goal. She is definitely not a kind person!! The male protagonist's fortunes are changing, and there are times when he is in trouble. On the story of an emperor who was sitting all over the world and was gradually being hollowed out. There are three views, but not many. If you don't mind, don't enter!!

In the first book, the heroine disguises herself as a man and is the only disciple of the ghost doctor. The female protagonist originally wanted to use the male protagonist's power to support her, but she ended up getting herself involved (and eventually fell in love with the male protagonist). But this is not the point. The point is how the heroine consolidates her power and rises to the top.
