   Reader note

   This one!! I can only say it's just as good as Jiang Shuyi's, and I even prefer it more than the other two because the male lead truly favors the female lead (his son's life is nothing compared to his lover). He's possessive and jealous, regardless of gender, whether human or animal; if the female lead's attention isn't on him, he gets incredibly jealous. He won't let her suffer any injustice, including himself; her life is more important than anyone else's (including the world, himself, and their child). The female lead is somewhat naive yet wicked, having transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world. She deeply understands the importance of food and punishes anyone who disrespects it with death. But she also has a past life. There's too much content to type out; just read it yourself. I can only say that the male lead is absolutely Tomato's favorite male lead who loves the female lead the most; no one can compare! It's super, super good!

    These are all incredibly popular!!! They're all sweet romance dramas, some with both leads being virgins, some aren't, but without exception, the male lead is incredibly doting on the female lead, almost always showering her with exclusive affection from the very beginning. Even if he doesn't exclusively dote on her initially, he's still incredibly doting.

    These three books all feature male leads who are not pure, but all three are devoted to the female lead from the beginning. Feel free to criticize if you think they're bad. 1. The female lead is very cunning and ambitious. The male lead dotes on her immensely. The female lead kicks a concubine into the river, and the male lead gets angry because he's worried she'll fall in. The female lead thinks he's blaming her and immediately fights back. 2. The female lead is a lowly palace maid, initially quite weak. The male lead teaches her to become spoiled, which is really good. Moreover, she's the most powerful woman under the Empress, and the male lead still feels he's wronged her. 3. This book is very similar to Jiang Jiang's. Anyway, it's very good. Among the palace intrigue novels I've read, Jiang Jiang's is number one, and this one is number two.
