    The following are selected works from Tomato novels that meet the setting of "traveling through the past + palace fighting + sweetness first and then torture". Combining plot highlights and emotional turns, they are organized into book recommendations for reference: 1. The classic palace fight "Gong Shu", which is sweet first and then torture Sweet and sadistic twist: The modern heroine Su Jingxi traveled through time and became the daughter of a minor official. She was favored by the emperor at the beginning of her career due to her cool temperament (sweet). Later, she was deeply involved in the plot of the Queen Mother, framed by the concubines, and even tried poison (torture) to save the male protagonist. Highlights: The heroine goes from "not fighting, not showing off" to using medical skills to protect herself. The emperor is deeply affectionate but cannot break the shackles of the palace. The ending stays together but leaves regrets. Classic clips: the male protagonist secretly delivers medicine when he is forced to kneel in the snow, and the female protagonist risks her own life to save others during a smallpox epidemic but is met with suspicion. "Fortunate to Meet Your Peach Blossom" has a sweet and sadistic twist: Medical student Wei Qing traveled through time and used modern medical skills to save the cold-faced governor Yin Xuan. The early interactions were full of laughter and mutual hostility (sweet); in the later stage, he was involved in the conspiracy of the previous dynasty to avenge his mother, and was betrayed by his family and exiled to the border (abuse). Highlights: The male protagonist appears to be the "living king of hell", but in fact he secretly protects the female protagonist. He can be sweet and ruthless at times, and has both powerful plot lines and emotional lines. Famous scene: When the heroine tears her stepmother apart, she sneers: "Kefu? I beat the scum!". "Queen of the Xie Family" has a sweet and sadistic twist: Xie Ning, a time-traveling girl, won the emperor's love for her cooking skills, and was promoted from a talented person to a queen. Her daily life is warm and healing (sweet); in the middle period, her relatives interfered with politics, and the queen mother forced the palace. The heroine was forced to poison her relatives to protect the emperor's power (abusive). Highlights: A long-lasting romance between an emperor and an empress. The heroine governs the country with "benevolence" but is unable to resist the dark side of the palace. Tear point: The male protagonist dismissed the harem to withstand the pressure, but the female protagonist asked to be deposed because of family sins. 2. An advanced choice where machinations and sadomasochism are intertwined. "Scorching Romance" has a sweet and sadistic twist: the heroine Mu Zhuohua disguises herself as a man to pass the examination and becomes an ally with Liu Yan, the god of war, from a doctor to a patient. They join forces to investigate the case and it is full of sweet fun. Later, the life story is revealed, the hero is assassinated on the battlefield, and the heroine takes poison (torture) to save him. What to watch: The sober heroine who "keeps herself safe by not getting married and having children" x the beautiful, powerful and miserable prince, the plot line is brain-burning, and the sad point is focused on the family blood feud. "Happy with the King" has a sweet and sadistic twist: the modern female Jiang He marries the tyrant Zhao Zheng. In the early stage, she fights wits with powerful officials and makes a fake show (sweet); the Six Kingdoms unite to conquer Yong, the male protagonist is shot by an arrow to protect the female protagonist and is on the verge of death, and the female protagonist goes into the enemy camp to negotiate alone (abusive). Highlight: The heroine shouts, "I am marrying King Yong, not a chess piece!" And then jumps from the city wall to die for her country. The hero becomes bald overnight. 3. The niche but powerful dark palace battle "Walk to Stop Late" has a sweet and sadistic twist: the heroine Zhao Wan'er entered the palace as a hostage at the age of six, and developed a secret love for the emperor's childhood sweetheart (sweet); after becoming a queen, she was forced to choose a concubine for him, and she experienced miscarriage and the destruction of her family before she dared to confess her love until her death (abusive). BE warning: The heroine coughed up blood and died, and the hero dismissed the harem to guard the lonely city alone, and was tortured to the point of liver pain. "What Kind of Body" has a sweet and sadistic twist: a double time-travel setting, the heroine Yu Wanyin and the tyrant Xia Houdan join forces to fight in the palace, making daily complaints about modern jokes (sweet); King Duan uses the original female supporting character to set up a trap, and the male protagonist pretends to kill the heroine to break the situation (brutal). A wonderful twist: The villain Xie Yong'er traveled through the book three times, trying to tamper with the ending but triggering a "death loop". 4. Work comparison and adaptation guide for readers Title of work Highlights of the sweetness stage Abuse outbreaks Suitable readers "Gong Shu" The emperor's exclusive favor, providing warmth on snowy nights The heroine was falsely accused of "monster" during the smallpox epidemic Love the tolerant and affectionate emperor's character "Fortunate to meet Qing Qing's peach blossom face" Doctors and patients quarrel with each other, and the house fight is exciting. The hero is raped to protect the heroine. He prefers fast-paced revenge "Xing Zhi Wan" Childhood sweetheart, court secret love, female miscarriage + family extermination double blow, can accept BE aesthetics, book recommendation conclusion: The charm of ancient palace fighting novels lies in the fact that "sweetness is like a honey blade, abuse is like an arrow that pierces the heart" - the refreshing feeling of revenge in "Fortunate to Meet the Queen" is like strong wine burning the throat, and the forbearing BE in "Xing Zhi Wan" is like a dull knife cutting flesh. If you prefer the ultimate pull of the hidden knife in the sweetness, you might as well start this time and space intertwined palace puzzle from "What a Decent".
