    Reader note

    1. A transmigration novel where the female lead has no cheat codes and is independent. The palace intrigue aspect isn't really emphasized because she cautiously survives the initial stages, gradually building her status and becoming incredibly powerful and fearless once she understands the situation. As for exclusive favor, that's not really an issue. Her relationship with her husband is more of a business arrangement; she even considered divorce when she first arrived, but he was too persistent, so the divorce didn't go through. Later, she opens a business where she enjoys admiring handsome men. She already has children when she transmigrates, and they are all exceptionally well-behaved. I found the child-rearing part quite interesting. In the end, she transmigrates back to her original world, becoming a humanities student studying history and researching her own path. She also reunites with her favorite person from her ancient past. 2. This is a genuine palace intrigue novel. The female lead is the original character with some strength. Exclusive favor isn't really an issue, as the male lead barely notices her in the early stages. She focuses on survival, retaliating against those who wrong her, and gradually rises through the ranks. After the male lead's death, she becomes regent, and later, after her grandson abdicates, she becomes empress. 👍 3. A modern woman transmigrates to an ancient era. After transmigrating, she is almost exclusively favored by the male lead, but unexpected events still occur occasionally, which can be described as palace intrigue. The female lead handles it quite well and even does many good deeds, leaving her mark on history. 4. Most people have probably read this one, which is the one I posted. It's super good. The female lead is reborn into the male lead's body. Although the title suggests she's courting death, it's actually just some fun with the male lead [think about it]. Unfortunately, she stops being so reckless later on, but she remains exclusively favored by the male lead. She uses the male lead to deflect palace intrigues. It's very good! 5. This could be considered a political intrigue story, but it features exclusive love and a strong female lead. The female lead transmigrates into a book and knows the general plot. The female supporting character also learns a bit of the plot through dreams, but only partially, leading to her miscalculation. What follows is a series of clashes between the female lead and the original male lead. The male lead has high martial arts skills, making him a natural for conquering the world. The female lead's father is the funniest and most powerful, unbeatable with his words. In the end, the female lead and the male lead become emperors together. However, after defeating the original male lead, the male lead is injured and in a coma for several years, but when he wakes up, the female lead is still in charge. 6. The female lead was a merchant before transmigrating, and she didn't forget her old profession. Her business flourishes in ancient times, using commerce as a springboard to gradually showcase her talents. Because she comes from a noble family, she eventually becomes a princess who protects the country, which is still quite impressive. The male lead is a general, the kind who blushes easily. The relationship between the two is quite enjoyable.

    Reader note

    This is a book where martial arts entanglements and courtly power struggles clash intensely. Both the male and female leads are strong; the female lead is incredibly capable, passionate, decisive, intelligent, and gentle, while the male lead is eccentric yet adept at political maneuvering. It's truly a fantastic read, highly recommended.
