   Reader note

   This is a top-tier, eccentric novel with a palace intrigue and rebirth system, a true gem. It roughly recounts the power struggles and palace intrigues of three generations of the royal family. Few in the royal family are truly normal; the emperor is constantly cuckolded, and the struggles and compromises between him and his mother, the tug-of-war between filial piety and human rights, almost encompass the power struggles and entanglements of three generations. But the most heartbreaking character is the Crown Prince. System 88's line, "My third son, as pure as jade, as bright as the moon, but in the end, he was betrayed by everyone, unable to stand alone, shattered into pieces (physically shattered)," really made me cry! However, the author's language is humorous and witty, with a wildly imaginative and imaginative style, making it a top-notch novel. It also has many foreshadowing elements, interwoven with both overt and covert plots, showing the same choices and fates of the same characters, and the different schemes and calculations under different conditions. Is the protagonist's alcohol a calculated move against himself or a desperate last stand? This novel is not yet finished, but some foreshadowing has already begun to emerge, so you can read it with confidence. In addition, this author's other books are also very good 💕💕

From Jiangjia Village to becoming Emperor and Empress, he's cunning and meticulous, but also devoted to his wife, who came for him. Don't read the synopsis about farming; it's not a farming novel, just the system. It's a very positive and kind farming system. The male lead is reborn, and the female lead is a soul from another world. She appears because the male lead's will at the time of his rebirth wanted to love the female lead and the farming system. The male lead's experiences are particularly bitter, so it's a kind of redemption story. In the end, Sister Zhao Zhao, Lord Lu, and their wives all come back to life. The female lead clears away the problematic energies (people of destiny) for the world's consciousness, and finally, the world accepts her and has two children. However, all of this happens in the final chapter.
