Description

Actually, the profession of an imperial concubine is pretty good. The emperor will accompany you in eating and drinking, and even pay you for it. What’s not good about that?

The translation is absolutely amazing, it's easy to read and there are a few footnotes at the end of chapters if there's something that should be illustrated further (like pictures of objects, a few lines of explanations of sayings, idioms, and further context to culture/social etiquette if required), but the translator has also incorporated these explanations into the main chapter itself (where you can hover over some highlighted text and the meaning pops up, it only works on PC, I think). The Story
Oh boy, after reading so many reincarnation-into-a-character-who-wants-love-from-the-ML novels, this is a refreshing breeze. A great (but maybe slightly dramatised) look into the politics of the Emperor's Harem, this novel captures how a resourceful and modern woman would survive in this political climate. The female lead isn't omniscient and she doesn't know everything that happens in the palace, she's just 1-2 steps ahead of everyone else. I thoroughly enjoyed how she tricks the entire palace into thinking that's she's in love.
By the way, the female lead will not fall in love at all. The female lead will continue stand by her opinions and goals (which is to survive in a environment created to pit women against each other), and she will never throw this all away for love. This is the part that I have enjoyed the most so far.
Give this novel a try, I highly recommend reading this if you are into the machinations of Ancient China's royalty. You'll find a strong female lead who will not throw everything out for the love of one man, whose job is look after a nation. In fact, I found the story so good that I MTL'd the rest of it, and am still avidly waiting for the Sleepchaser's proper translations every week. It's beautifully translated and the chapters aren't split by the translator, who is doing a fantastic job (they've also created a handy hierarchy/ranking order of the different and many concubine ranks used in the novel).
This comment really made me want to add a review. This seems like what a cannon fodder FL would say, lmao. Bruh, what else could she have done. Did she want her life or did she want her life? Obviously, she could not be dumb and just try and change the entire set of rules. Additionally, they did not meet at the right time. In To Be A Virtuous Wife Yue Xia Die Ying wrote: The Empress, she's the right person that he met at the right time. This is probably what is called fate. If they had met later, like if the Emperor had already ascended the throne, then the Empress would, at maximum, become the Emperor's most favored woman but not his only one.
In this story, the ML and FL did not meet at the right time. FL transmigrated when she is a lower concubine, and just wants to live a goof life. Once she was asked if she wanted to be the Empress, but she said that the Empress did a good job. So the FL and ML in this novel did not even have a good fate to be an amorous loyal couple. I even remember how the FL of this work thought that ML... more>>
