   Reader note

   Highly recommended!! Of these four 🍅 novels, one of them is being serialized, but they are all very interesting!!! It's not a loss if you invest in the stock [Send your heart][Send your heart][Send your heart] Recommendation reason for "Zhaohua Chaos": The heroine Song Zhao is a typical "sober egoist". Every move she makes is full of strategy, and her emotional entanglement with the emperor is also very complicated. In the novel, the rise and fall of a family is closely linked to the struggle in the harem. The game between the queen mother, powerful ministers and other forces is extremely exciting. It is a rare high-quality palace battle novel. Reasons for recommendation of "Jiaogu": the female protagonist has an online IQ after time travel, and is both charming and strategic. The male protagonist is cold on the surface but affectionate in reality. The interaction between the two is sweet and interesting. The story includes both house fights and court intrigues. The heroine counterattacks from a heroine who can be bullied by everyone to a royal concubine who dominates the harem. The plot has ups and downs and is addictive. "The Empress is Tea and Charming, Fighting All the Way to the Palace" Reason for recommendation: The heroine Ning Shuyan is by no means a "silly white sweet" or a "black lotus", but an ambitious person who integrates "tea art" into survival wisdom. She is charming but not flattering, calculating but not sinister, and sober and alarming. The plot of the palace fight in the story is exciting, from "Musk Bracelet Framing" to "Snake Venom Shock", from "Fake Pregnancy Storm" to "Fighting for Favor", the heroine breaks the situation with wisdom and leverages strength, which can be called a palace fight textbook. Reason for recommendation of "Sui Sui Palace": Liu Yuetang is a sober heroine. She knows that it is not easy to survive in the deep palace, so she uses every means to improve her status. In the story, she not only has to face the jealousy and frame-up of the beauties in the harem, but also the undercurrent of the former dynasty's forces. Every step of the heroine is carefully calculated. She looks delicate and charming on the surface, but is actually strong on the inside. She is a typical arrogant heroine with "brain".

    The heroine Zhi Yao in the first book was born into a family of a county magistrate. After entering the palace, she fell in love with the emperor at first sight due to her beauty. She was promoted from noble to concubine in a short period of time and enjoyed the emperor's exclusive favor. She has a flamboyant personality and holds grudges. The author designed a series of plug-ins for her (such as relatives becoming marquises, palace maids being promoted, etc.). However, the article clearly states that "the heroine has a flamboyant personality and is very vengeful", and she is a "spirit" type character. ‌ In the second book, Ning Wanyin enters the palace as a beautiful lady, and is gradually promoted to the imperial concubine with her cautious character and strategic wisdom. Although her character is cautious, she shows her wisdom in breaking through the shackles of class through plots such as "Reform of Women's Academy" and "Selection System for Female Officials".

    **"Zhaohua Chaos"**: The heroine Song Zhao has a clear goal, and she will become the queen when she enters the palace. She relied on her beauty and wisdom every step of the way. On the surface, she persuaded the emperor to "take equal measures", but in fact, she used counter-intuitive means to monopolize the emperor's heart. The core of the plot is that she regards the harem as a chess game, takes the initiative to suppress her opponents, and even calls herself a "villain". She is arrogant but has great strategies, and finally makes the emperor willing to surrender. **"Jiaojiao deliberately seduced, and the cold emperor fell"**: In order to change the fate of cannon fodder, the heroine Pei Tingyue went from deliberately approaching to letting the emperor fall. She appears to be weak and submissive, but in fact she is calculating every step of the way, using the emperor's hand to remove obstacles. In the introduction, the contrast between the emperor's transformation from a "chess piece" to his plea to "like me more" highlights the heroine's arrogance in controlling the situation with her mind. **"The Jiaojiao Queen is flirtatious and wild, fighting all the way in the palace"**: The academic heroine Chu Xiyue travels through the book and binds the system, using the thinking of "the king of career papers" to conquer the harem. Her ever-changing image teases the emperor, saying bluntly "Either give me money or get promoted". She is arrogant with a modern straight-ball style, and transforms palace battles into promotion competitions. The plot is light-hearted but hidden with hidden agendas.
