Are there any palace intrigue novels where the female lead doesn’t love the emperor, and the emperor doesn’t love only her either? I feel like the heroine and emperor in these stories are more like an employee and a boss. How could they possibly be in love?! Ideally the female lead shouldn’t be stunningly beautiful or rely on her looks alone.

Reader note
This is a good book [Like] [Sending Hearts] The heroine Qing Yan was originally a modern agent. She transformed into Situ Yue, the "ugly and silly" daughter-in-law of the general's palace. She was targeted by her concubine and aunt at the beginning and almost lost her life. Fortunately, she had a clear mind. While pretending to have amnesia to hide her strength, she joined forces with Murong Xin, who was also a time traveler. The two supported each other in the deep house and started their careers together. The plot of house fighting in the book is very real, there is no exaggerated cheating. The heroine relied on her own wisdom and use of modern knowledge to turn the situation around step by step, which was extremely enjoyable to watch. The characters of the princes are also very interesting, including the sickly second prince, the romantic third prince, and the fourth prince who is engaged to the heroine. Everyone has their own secrets and calculations, and the interaction with the heroine is also very natural. It is not the cliché plot where you fall in love with the heroine as soon as you meet.
