Looking for favorites for another palace-intrigue novel, The Story of Noble Consort Rong!
Novel blurb
The prime minister's legitimate eldest daughter, Liu Shangzhi, was clever and refined, as graceful as an orchid.
She had been raised from childhood to become the crown princess and was renowned throughout the capital.
Crown Prince Qi Yuan was a spoiled, ruthless scoundrel from a young age, yet he doted on her and treasured her like a jewel in his palm.
Everyone said they were a perfect match, and hoped that when the crown prince ascended the throne, our dynasty would have another virtuous empress.
But fate had other plans. In the third month of spring, on the day of Xinsi, the imperial city was thrown into chaos, and the emperor's star fell.
The ninth prince, regarded as an ill omen, inherited the throne. He had all the former crown prince's supporters executed or exiled. For months, blood ran through the streets and marketplace of the capital, and the people lived in fear.
The prime minister, Liu Shizhong, was also found guilty and demoted. His daughter, Liu Shangzhi, was summoned to the palace at the emperor's command and made Lady Liu, a low-ranking concubine.
It was the lowest position in the harem, and the humiliation was plain for all to see.
Everyone said Liu Shangzhi was doomed to suffer. Rather than incur the wrath of this vindictive, unpredictable new emperor, she might as well have gone with the former crown prince.
At that moment, Liu Shangzhi was being led through the long palace street by the attendants. She was revisiting a familiar place, but her circumstances had changed beyond recognition.
She thought again of that autumn day when torrential rain had poured down.
She had been sitting in the crown prince's forbidden imperial carriage, watching Qi Chonglian, the new emperor and then the ninth prince, crawl on his knees from one end of the street to the other in tattered clothes.
The crown prince and the noble families had driven past him in their carriages, laughing as they splashed mud all over him.
Through the rain falling in unbroken streams, Liu Shangzhi met his eyes, cold enough to pierce to the bone.
As she stepped through the vermilion palace gates, she sighed. What had happened could no longer be blamed on anyone else, not even him.
Now that she was inside the palace walls, she had to look ahead and live well, for herself and for the Liu family.
Content warnings: Neither the male nor female lead is a virgin. Traditional palace intrigue, followed by exclusive devotion later on and a little groveling-from-the-male-lead arc. The heroine loves herself most.

He gently explains what she did well, praising her first, then pointing out where she went wrong and what to watch out for next time. Finally, he sighs: "Lian'er, you really don't need to go to such lengths. Tell me, and I'll take care of it for you."

"The Biography of Concubine Rong" The family was in ruins, and Ni Shulian, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Anchang, was forced to enter the palace for the draft. Concubine Shu, who had a son and a favor in the palace, was her cousin. Before entering the palace, her family asked her to get closer to her, and Ni Shulian agreed. After entering the palace, Ni Shulian originally wanted to protect herself by being an inconspicuous vase. But there are always people who are jealous of her face, and her cousin even wants to use her to compete for wealth. Ni Shulian didn't want to endure it any longer. Since they were afraid of her getting ahead, she had to fight for it. Emperor Jiawen is now ten years older than Ni Shulian. He is gentle, elegant, and extremely handsome. He taught Ni Shulian a lot. He treated Ni Shulian less like a concubine and more like a little sister, and he pampered her more and more. Even if she knew that Ni Shulian was counterattacking and plotting against others, she wouldn't be angry. She only gently analyzed for her what was good in this game, first praised it a few words, and then said where there were shortcomings, which should be paid attention to next time, and finally sighed: "Lian'er, you don't have to worry so much, just tell me and I will help you deal with it." Ni Shulian tugged on his belt with a guilty conscience, raised her eyes, and only met the man's gentle smiling eyes, without the slightest hint of blame. Ni Shulian's breath was suffocated. She found that the emperor seemed to be somewhat sincere towards her. The father is the boyfriend, and he is also the only one who dotes on him in the later period. The male protagonist is very cuckold.
Those who are young and unavailable will be remembered for a lifetime
I thought the heroine would be angry with Asda for causing her trouble, but her first reaction was to consider their personal relationship. The heroine is really a soft person, but Asda is so arrogant, the heroine never thought of teaching him a lesson? Asda is so cool. This guy feels even more cool than that prince. Even if he is cool, the key point is that he still doesn't have any self-awareness. The male and female protagonists are actually the most normal among this group of perverts
Xiaodaniu, close your face and open it up
