Life in the Eastern Palace, Doted on by One Alone

From a lowly dancer to the favorite consort who ruled the palace, A Jin felt that the journey had been exhausting.

Now that she had been reborn, did she really want to keep fighting?

Forget it. There was no such thing as a truly peaceful place. She might as well return somewhere familiar. Being doted on exclusively in the Eastern Palace wasn't so bad!

The silly version: If you're in my way, I'll kick you aside. If you're blocking my path, move. Don't get in the way of my cheat powers.

The oblivious Crown Prince: "Look at me, A Jin! There aren't many good men like me, so loyal and devoted, handsome, dashing, and elegant... and many more wonderful things I won't bother listing. How could you change your heart?"

The serious version: I don't ask for a beauty beyond compare, only one person who truly loves me.

Reader advisory: The male lead has a wife and concubines, and he isn't a virgin. After meeting the heroine, he is basically devoted to her alone, though he does have a child with someone else along the way, by accident.

There's no angst in the romance. The heroine has a smooth and easy journey, taking down scumbags and raising a child. The male lead also finds love earlier than he did in his previous life.

In the capital, where nobles are everywhere, being an earl's daughter is an awkward position.

Marrying up means a life of wealth and honor as the bride of a prince or nobleman's son. Marrying down means marrying into a scholarly family of humble origins and being treated as inferior at every turn.

Marrying up is difficult, but marrying down is unbearable. It really is a dilemma.

The eldest sister married into a duke's family, making all the sisters envious.

The second sister has the cheat power of rebirth and stirs up trouble to her heart's content.

The third sister was born peerlessly beautiful and has suitors in droves.

Mu Yunrou, fifth in line, has nothing but a reputation as a talented woman. She's not socially adept, and her beauty is nothing extraordinary. She's under a lot of pressure. What sort of man should she look for as her future husband?

Is this life truly inescapable from mother-in-law and daughter-in-law feuds and the scheming of wives and concubines?

As a prince determined to claim the throne, Liang Chengming always thought his future wife would be a noblewoman from a prestigious family, with powerful brothers and father who could help him.

But life is unpredictable. Somehow, he fell in love with a girl who was hopeless in every way.

Her background is neither high nor low, her temper is awful and stubborn. She looks down on being a secondary consort, but as the primary consort she'd turn into a jealous wife. She can't help him and is always holding him back. The struggle for the throne is already full of difficult choices, so why can't she just be a little more virtuous and understanding?

They argued and fought, but after all the twists and turns, she was still the only one he could hold in his heart.

Premise: Sincerity never goes out of style. Only a sincere heart can win another.
