Shen Qing is despairing over her current identity. The female lead won't appear for another two years, and Shen Qing is the lowest-ranking consort in the male lead's harem. Her father is useless, and she has neither money nor power. It seems her only option is to wait for the emperor's favor. To make matters worse, she has a face that attracts trouble. If she fights for influence, she has no leverage; if she doesn't, she'll just get bullied 47.7kReads9.5Score6.1k14d adds

   Reader note

   The first book I recently read features a female protagonist who, for survival and power, pretends to love the emperor, gradually rising to a high position. The male protagonist becomes love-struck later on, and their relationship develops gradually over time. It has a happy ending. The second book is an older romance novel I read many years ago. The female protagonist is reborn to seek revenge, brutally punishing scumbags, bitches, and her unscrupulous family, ultimately falling for the powerful seventh prince and finding love. There's also Ji Guang, a transmigrator from a later era—a hilarious character. Wherever he is, there's laughter; I almost died laughing! 😂

The female lead is quite capable, and while the emperor has a slight split personality, he still dotes on her. She's the most beloved character, similar to the pseudo-dragon jade princess.
