   The early stage of the first book is a high-quality palace battle story, and the later stage is a story of women united to slay a dragon in a red wall. The author's writing style is very good, and each character is deeply portrayed. The friendship and family ties in this book are more touching than love [I almost cried], and the love story of the supporting characters is very touching [I almost cried]. The second book is a crazy criticism of the yandere emperor v. The resolute and intelligent concubine, a double-traveling book that goes against the routine of a palace, all the members have online IQs, crazy switching of thinking from various perspectives, "She is my driftwood" is super sweet [lick the screen]

    Thank you for the invitation, but I have rarely read any particularly good books of this type. I recommend two books that are a bit of a companion piece. The first one is about dressing up as a prince. Later on, there will be a heroine, but the heroine's presence is not high. It mainly describes the growth history of the prince. In the second book, the male and female protagonists swap bodies. The female protagonist gets along with Kangxi as the prince and eases their relationship. The male protagonist experiences the ups and downs of being a palace concubine, and the female protagonist will ascend to the throne later.
