The Concubine's Rise to Power

My currently serialized, fun-filled martial arts novel, Hug Your Senior Brother's Thigh, is looking for readers! There are red envelopes! I'd also like to recommend my friend's palace-intrigue novel, Reborn: Thank You, Scumbag, for Not Marrying Me, by Zhong Shiyi. After transmigrating, Liu Ruyan finds herself the cherished daughter of the Central General. As a modern woman with sky-high emotional and intellectual intelligence, she has every trick the people of ancient times possess. Carried into the palace in a sedan chair, she finds herself locked in a battle of wits with the imperial consorts. Above her is the powerful empress, and below her the promising Ronghua. Caught in the middle, every step she takes feels like walking on thin ice. But... why does the emperor insist on making her into a favored consort? She makes a career of taking the blame for the Noble Consort and stirs up trouble in her spare time, while the emperor keeps backing her unconditionally? Bonus scene: Xuan Yi: "With me protecting you, what is there to fear?" Liu Ruyan: "I have nothing to fear from the consorts, Your Majesty. I... I'm afraid of you." Xuan Yi: "Why fear me? Have I not cleaned up enough of your messes already?" Liu Ruyan was speechless, silently wailing in her heart: Wasn't it Your Majesty who told me to stir up trouble in the harem and play the alluring villain? A word from the author: I'm the classic case of having a temper bigger than my talent. I won't respond to negative reviews about the characters or plot. I'm not thin-skinned; I simply don't want to engage with people whose values clash with mine. Writing isn't easy. Let's try to understand and respect one another. Thank you. Theme:
