The premise of a virtuous woman and an unclean man is so captivating, and the female lead, Jiang Xinyue, goes completely berserk in the harem! A modern psychology PhD transmigrates to ancient times, facing a filthy harem with multiple wives and concubines. While others are still crying and vying for favor, she pulls out her professional textbooks and begins a "dimensional reduction attack"! Using criminal psychology to expose the scheming schemes of the scheming women, and relying on group psychology to control public opinion, she can even analyze the emperor's micro-expressions! A scumbag emperor with a bunch of concubines? She doesn't care at all, and turns him into her experimental subject! The female lead is frighteningly clear-headed throughout, not love-struck, not competing for favor, but focused on her career and political maneuvering! When faced with a scheming woman's provocation, she breaks down her defenses with three sentences; when a scumbag tests her, she uses psychological tactics to make him obedient! While others are still fighting for favor, she has already turned the harem into a psychological sandbox! The premise of a virtuous woman focused solely on her career is so appealing! Watching the female lead use her professional knowledge to turn her filthy harem upside down is incredibly satisfying—who can understand that feeling?!

    Reader note

    This book is so inspiring! I highly recommend "Daughter, Don't Cry, We'll Always Be Together." The author, Rose in the Wind, writes with such delicate and moving detail; I cried while reading it. Everyone should check it out! It tells the story of a woman who loses everything but becomes strong and brave in the face of setbacks, constantly striving to provide for her daughter. After the male protagonist marries the other woman, they often argue, and he finally remembers the original woman's goodness, but it's too late. The female protagonist also wants to pursue her own happiness; how could she turn back? The book vividly portrays a woman's struggle from nothing to something. Only those who have experienced hardship truly cherish the future. The book concludes that staying away from third parties and loving your family and children are the best choices. Don't let temporary temptations cloud your judgment. A stable family is the foundation of everything; family harmony leads to success in all things. The ancient saying "A harmonious family brings prosperity" is the best proof of this. The author portrays these principles profoundly, serving as a wake-up call. Lin Jiajia in the story is also a sensible and well-behaved child. Facing her parents' divorce, she bravely accepts it and is considerate of her parents' feelings. She is truly a rare and wonderful child. Having such a child is Fang Caihong's good fortune. In the near future, Lin Jiajia will become the pillar of this family, sheltering her mother from the wind and rain, and repaying all the grievances her mother has suffered in this life. Lin Lele in the book is Fang Caihong's adopted daughter. Knowing that she is not Fang Caihong's biological daughter, she never contacts Fang Caihong again. She is indifferent to the eighteen years of kindness she has received. She and her father are practically family. She is utterly ungrateful. Therefore, it is most important to cherish the people in front of you.
