    You've all read plenty of ancient Chinese palace intrigue stories, but how many have you seen where the emperor is cuckolded and keeps a gigolo? Come and see! The first few chapters are delicately written, with a slow burn and a lot of setup, but don't be scared off, it gets more and more exciting later on! Ancient Chinese Romance + Ensemble Cast + Not a Double Clean (clean) + Not a Time-Travel Story + No System + No Cheat Code + Not a Rebirth Story + Slow Start, High Finish. The early chapters are slow-paced, featuring a merchant's daughter secretly entering the palace, the emperor and empress growing apart and plotting against each other, and the women of the harem working together to protect the empire. There's also a seductive concubine and a treacherous minister, a foolish and philandering emperor and a benevolent and diligent empress, and a young, war-loving general and his childhood sweetheart. Memorable Scene 1: A concubine mistakenly calls her lover by name during her nightly visit, enraging the absurd emperor! Memorable Scene 2: The empress and concubines drink and chat, but is the emperor truly capable? Memorable Scene 3: The foolish emperor lies drunk on a beauty's lap, while the empress helps the six palaces protect the empire! A genuine story that starts slowly but builds to a high-energy, unexpected conclusion!
