   After skimming through the first six chapters, I noticed several plot holes: 1. The male lead is involved in a treason case, but is only detained after a few words from the princess and emperor, merely demoted, and not further investigated. 2. The male lead doesn't seem very bright; he blames the female lead for saving him the moment he opens his eyes. 3. The female lead's motive for saving multiple male leads feels weak and childish. This is just my personal opinion. I'll leave this story for now and see how it fares, depending on how many other readers comment. I wonder if there will be any explanations later. But based on my years of experience with online novels, I'll stop here for now.

   Frail, transmigrated regent princess x incredibly strong, seemingly sibling-like young wolf cub Judging from the title and synopsis, you might mistakenly think this is a female-centric story with a political intrigue plot, but it's not. This book primarily focuses on romance interspersed with political intrigue, mainly within the royal family. The majority of the story revolves around the female protagonist's life as a princess and her daily life raising a wolfhound. Later, her true identity is revealed, granting her greater power, while the need for a more nuanced portrayal of the dynasty's rebuilding is rushed. Perhaps the author intended to focus on romance, hence this design. Many foreshadowing elements and exciting plot points are poorly executed, and the later political intrigue feels somewhat superficial, relying on the male protagonist's martial arts prowess and the female protagonist's special abilities to conclude the story. However, it's still readable as a lighthearted sweet romance. 🍉 If you enjoy stories about pseudo-siblings, romance, and younger men with strong romantic undercurrents, and stories where political intrigue isn't a major focus, this is for you. Note! The ending is the male protagonist ascending the throne, and the male and female protagonists getting married.

   Beauty x Dog This is a political intrigue story featuring a strong female protagonist. The entire narrative relies heavily on dialogue and action descriptions, with virtually no internal dialogue, giving it a surveillance-like feel. However, the sheer volume and complexity of the characters and events make it difficult to pinpoint the culprit or uncover the author's hints. Personally, I think it has its pros and cons. While it certainly gives the feeling of being completely led by the female protagonist through twists and turns, it lacks a strong sense of immersion, relying entirely on character development and my curiosity to keep reading.

   An older male emperor x a reborn noblewoman who lost her mother's love—You were born before I was born, and I was born after you had grown old. They were a generation apart in age; the emperor had children and a harem; he was single for six years; and the old house caught fire. The story begins with a scheme that brings together people who had no connection before. The emperor and the female lead have similar family experiences, and protecting the female lead is also protecting his past self. The love that the female lead gives back to him also heals this lonely man. This genre isn't really my cup of tea, but the author wrote it with exquisite detail. Even though the male lead has a past, his later care and protection of the female lead is reminiscent of a mature emperor's all-encompassing protection—a comprehensive care that considers everything from the very beginning. So, as I read on, I gradually came to terms with it. The female lead also perfectly fits the character description; she's a smart and sensitive girl. The story doesn't have many dramatic twists and turns, only a few intrigues and schemes. What runs throughout the entire text is the intimate yet conflicted relationship between parents and children. The only slightly jarring thing is that the male lead likes to call the female lead "Miss," but the author provides an explanation, and you gradually get used to it as you read on, even finding it quite sweet. [Orange Candy] I've subscribed to the whole thing, but I plan to stop at 73% for now. The later parts are a bit bland and the story is a bit long.

    It's pretty good; it's the same type as the previous one. However, when I read the novel, I always felt detached from the romance between the male and female leads. It always felt like the female lead's fleeting moments before her death/a dream. I didn't quite understand why their feelings for each other were so deep. It seemed that when they were in the royal palace, the male lead's feelings for the female lead were based on responsibility and growing affection over time, plus a little bit of lust at first sight. Later, they bickered and fought, just living their lives together. It would have been better if the novel had explained the female lead's charm more. It only mentioned her talent and ability to manage the household in the middle, but it was all glossed over. I personally didn't fall in love with the female lead, so I don't understand why the male lead loved her so much. Moreover, the female lead never showed any particular love for the male lead as a person. At most, she had the feelings of an ordinary wife for her husband. Her love for her son was portrayed better, but that's consistent with the female lead's character. The text is not difficult to read, and the various plot points are reasonably plausible; it's one of the more logically and plot-wise explained stories among imperial romance novels.

    Curator note

    Reborn resolute female protagonist x widowed emperor who is a master of male virtue This is a rebirth novel (though not strictly speaking, so I won't spoil it for now, I'll just call it a rebirth novel for now), and the male lead is an emperor, which could easily lead to out-of-character (OOC) writing. The protagonist is torn between missing his deceased wife and having countless beauties in his harem. However, the author skillfully avoids this. The powerful emperor adheres strictly to male virtues, maintaining boundaries even though the female lead looks and has a similar personality to his "ex-wife." He single-handedly raises the only son she left behind until he recognizes her. The early portrayal of the male lead as an elderly father and widower is quite appealing, and the female lead consistently uncovers the conspiracy of her past life through her wisdom and perseverance. Many of the female supporting characters are also well-developed, avoiding mindless rivalry. For example, the part where one female supporting character initially likes the male lead but later realizes she likes her idealized "perfect" husband is quite good, showing the character's inner thoughts. Unfortunately, the author didn't develop this further; there's an arc, but the ending feels somewhat incomplete. Secondly, some supporting characters are somewhat stereotypical, but it's not too bad. Then there's the explanation of the rebirth trope; I understood it, but the writing was a bit obscure, and the writing style could be improved. Also, the side stories weren't particularly engaging; I skipped through them. In summary, this story is smooth to read and makes you want to keep going. The male and female leads are both virgins with high intelligence, and there are several interesting side couples throughout the story. However, be aware of the double death plot. While there's room for improvement, the flaws don't detract from the overall quality. Moreover, this is the author's first work, and it's clear the author did a lot of research, so the future looks promising.

    A young Taoist priest descending from the mountain to enter the world x A cunning general Many people recommend it, but it doesn't really resonate with me; the male lead becomes more and more annoying as the story progresses. I dropped it after watching about 74%. So far, the romance between the male and female leads seems to be stuck on the male lead having feelings for the female lead, while she doesn't seem particularly interested. Furthermore, the male lead's actions after his triumphant return are quite distasteful. He brings the female lead into danger many times, yet sometimes he puts her in danger only to deal with it afterward. If this is considered manipulative, then I have nothing to say. Moreover, as a war god who wins a foreign war, he allows those around him to slander the female lead, and his followers seem completely oblivious to his true feelings for her. If his followers dislike the female lead because she's a "demon" and because she sent the sickly male lead to his "death" on the battlefield, only for him to win a surprise attack, then after the war, even if others didn't know his weakness was feigned, wouldn't his own people know? Perhaps because of the lack of explanation and depiction in this part of the plot, the male lead's actions seem low and arrogant.

Although Heaven is ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs, there are still people like the two little bitter gourds who relentlessly strive for that glimmer of light. The main storyline of the rebirth story is to clarify the past events of the predecessors, and then vindicate them and seek revenge. Highly recommended!

    A resolute and intelligent princess sent for a political marriage x A powerful and self-disciplined Buddhist king It's not a typical female-centric story, but the female lead always manages to survive dangerous situations through her own wisdom. The two unfortunate siblings, Mingyue Nu and her second brother, support each other as they escape the clutches of the corrupt emperor, making for a very endearing sibling relationship. However, the author frequently uses the words "delicate" and "charming" when describing the female lead, which slightly detracts from the reading experience. But since she's not a typical female lead, this can be overlooked. Those who can accept this can read on without worry. The female lead follows the path of Princess Wencheng's marriage to a foreign ruler without many uncomfortable or abusive scenes; the writing focuses more on her struggles to survive. Oh, I forgot to mention, the male lead is a beautiful but sickly guy with incredible fighting skills 🐶 Mingyue Nu is a very good and likable girl, and Fuzi is also a man with great love and self-control who is worthy of the female lead. You can consider reading this.

    A cunning and stunningly beautiful woman x A seemingly upright and honest young master with a dark and gloomy side I like reading romantic novels with a lot of back-and-forth tension. Warning: This is not a female-centric story. The female lead has no fighting skills, but she is very intelligent. The first volume focuses on the female lead, the second volume focuses on the later developments, and the third volume focuses more on the male lead's revenge. The female protagonist has a humble background in the early stages, and the entire story revolves around various men admiring and vying for her attention. However, she has her own methods to use these men against her. I recently read some of the author's other works, and the male protagonists in her stories are generally more compelling. This is also the case in the later parts of this story. If you mind this, please do not read it. Background: Warring States period. It features two virgins, but the setting is one of open-mindedness, not the traditional Confucian system.

    Beautiful actress (bottom) x Noble young director (top) The novel is full of twists and turns, with the main characters all following a single storyline, interspersed with many flashbacks that meticulously depict the causes and consequences. Ke Yu is truly endearing; it was Shang Lu's unwavering choice that allowed Ke Yu to escape unscathed from the clutches of the perverted Tang. Some points not mentioned in the main text will be explained in the author's notes. I hope that Xiaodao and his Ludi can continue to walk hand in hand like this until they grow old together.

    Beautiful and strong, ruthless, qualified graduate, bottom x gradually becoming yin and wet puppy top Yes, that's right, don't stand upside down! This is one of the strongest ukes I've ever seen. He's ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself. I absolutely love this kind of fierce person pursuing their career. The seme is an ultimate hybrid; it's hard to describe exactly what he is, somewhat like a Cthulhu monster. In the early stages, the seme, who is somewhat intelligent but not very bright, encounters an outstanding graduate of the Ruthless Path and is completely dominated (PS: this continues later on). In the later stages, the protagonist (gong) suffers a lot after being kidnapped, but he doesn't remain completely unaffected. Meanwhile, the other protagonist (shou) gradually begins to develop feelings for him. The downside is that I thought the story would focus on the trope of killing one's wife to achieve enlightenment, but it didn't; the author just glossed over it with a minor overpowered ability. A large portion of the later part is about the protagonist becoming a second-generation immortal in heaven, which I found less exciting than the earlier parts, but still worth watching. Attack, control, and lightning protection. Looking for meal replacements 🐶

    A feudal overbearing father x a prince who lies down and does nothing – it's kind of a pseudo-incestuous relationship. The dominant's feudalistic nature lies in his control over the submissive and his grasp of power, which is why he can allow the submissive, who poses no threat to him, to run rampant under his nose. The main reason the two are constantly at odds is because of the dominant's paranoia and his reticence. If you're looking for a story about the bottom turning the tables, don't enter. But if you enjoy all sorts of dramatic conflicts, you can enter, though there might be some angst.

The main plot of this life is to kill the scumbag father and help the other protagonist rise to power. There is a scene where the other protagonist fakes his death, so it is not recommended to read this. The downsides are that the wolf character is mentioned a bit too much and the ending is rushed, but since it's a free novel, I can forgive it!
