    These are some of the palace intrigue novels I found particularly enjoyable (the female lead is neither a time traveler nor a reincarnated character, but some supporting female characters in *Wan Feng Chai* are reincarnated or time-travelers). The female lead in *Zhao Hua Luan* is meticulous and shrewd. Initially, she's adept at manipulating people for status and power, but she discovers that the women in the harem are all pitiful, and the real culprit is the emperor's decision to slay the dragon and grant them freedom. All the supporting female characters are very well-developed, especially the Imperial Concubine, who is extremely loyal and devoted; I really like this character. The ending also makes her character even more perfect—a devoted woman, raised by her parents, who only wish to be with one person her whole life. The female lead in *Wan Feng Chai* survives the palace intrigue entirely through her meticulous and shrewd nature. She is the kind of woman who... Some people don't believe anything, only trusting themselves, until they enter the palace and meet two sisters. Although initially distrustful, they gradually realize the sisters are kind and good-hearted through daily interactions and start helping them out (just like a best friend helping you out when she becomes successful). Haha, the female lead of "Ascending to the Clouds" can only be described with two words: awesome! Life is like a play, and she can act anywhere. The female lead is quite strong; I feel her scheming is even more profound than the female leads of the previous two books. However, everyone in this book is unpredictable and cunning; none of them are easy to deal with. You can see from the first chapter that the female lead endured humiliation and scheming for many years, only to find herself just a small fry when she entered the palace. This book is about the female lead figuring out how to break the deadlock step by step amidst endless scheming, surviving, and ultimately ascending to a high position.
