I want something like The Night Before the Ungrateful Little Sister Enters the Palace, the Favorite Consort Is Reborn. After the female lead enters the palace, I want the male lead to love only her. It'd be best if he seems sweet on the outside but is dark inside. I really love that type!! A story about an emperor and his favorite consort, or an emperor and empress!

Xiao Chenglan wiped away her tears with his fingertips, saying, "You used to be so engrossed in planting flowers that you forgot to watch the fire while stewing chicken soup, burning down my kitchen and almost my study, and I didn't punish you." Jiang Yingli paused in her sobs, then buried her face in Xiao Chenglan's chest, shutting herself off. "Your Majesty, don't talk about such embarrassing things..." Xiao Chenglan chuckled, pulling her into his arms and gently patting her back. "You'll know next time. If you make a mistake in such a small matter, just act cute with me, and it'll be over. What's the rush?" Jiang Yingli sobbed softly for a moment, wiped away her tears, and looked up at him. "A small matter? Then what is a big matter? When can I act cute, and when can't I?"

The male protagonist in this story has been longing for the female protagonist for seven years. Two years before her coming-of-age ceremony, the female protagonist had just ascended the throne and her position was unstable. She was forced to take five concubines, but he never touched them. He also forbade them to approach him in places he frequented, and they had virtually no interaction, so they remained chaste in body and soul. Later, upon her coming-of-age ceremony, he immediately tricked her father into making her empress. After marrying her, he devised ways to deal with those "registered under his name," eventually disbanding the harem until only she remained.

This is quite unique. The female lead thinks she's carefully orchestrating everything, but the male lead actually knows all her secrets all along.

Each female character has her own story, which I really enjoyed. 🥰

The first book's female lead is quite funny, constantly throwing tantrums every day and then a major one every three days. The second book's female lead's witty and sarcastic remarks are really addictive. The third book shows how a salaryman survives in ancient times with a monogamous marriage. All three books are very good, and the authors' writing styles are excellent.
