Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Ever since Yun Li entered the palace, she transformed into a treacherous woman. Duplicitous and insincere, she spends her days acting. When facing the emperor’s favored concubines, she simultaneously taunts them until they’re sick to their stomachs while clutching her chest in feigned distress, lamenting, “I am so envious that you can receive His Majesty’s affection.” In the face of schemes against her, she responds with a slap but then dissolves into tears, crying out, “Why treat a kind-hearted person like me this way?” When speaking with the Empress, she nods absentmindedly, proclaiming, “Her Majesty the Empress is my guiding light! I will always obey her.”

I didn't expect to love this as much as I did! It's very similar to TJOAIC, if you liked that then I'm sure you would like this too.

I particularly love how the Emperor doesn't solely favor Yunli. It's very realistic it.

I loveee Yunli. She's super chill but very smart, she's articulate, knowing what to say and do to make sure she stays on the Emperor's mind.

The translations is only up to C231, I'm hoping it gets updated soon 🥺🥺

  1. I was extremely surprised to find myself living this story so much

    . I have fallen absolutely in love with the female lead. She has such an interesting way to deal with this. She was as earnest as possible while being hidden under a layer of deceit. If I were to give my opinion I preferred this story to the TJOAIC while the second was pretty realistic, the relationship between the female lead and the emperor was simple amazing, it's something that fails to be described with words. I wouldn't say the FL loved him to death or something (while the emperor certainly loved her a lot) , she had a certain level of affection toward him, she simply loved him in her own way.

    They are not two people destined to be together every time but they are certainly destined to meet each other.

    Spoiler

    Like in the last side story we can see them being reincarnated again and meeting each other. This lead us to a rather open ending where we do not know if they will end up together or not

    [collapse]

    Spoiler

    The story was kinda long but certainly worth it, all the characters were pretty interesting especially the Empress Dowager and Concubine Mei who I personally loved. For male characters I loved the Emperor he certainly tried his best to be a great father and ruler given the era he was born into. The sickly Fourth Prince was amazing as well, I personally liked the relationship with his guard at the end. There really was a lot of interesting characters I cannot name all of them. I personally felt that each character had their own uses and importance.

    [collapse]

    Spoiler

    Now let me talk about the female lead. She was certainly the most interesting one of them all. I loved the way she handled things it's the first time I've ever saw a concubine let the emperor know of every schemes angst her. She was proud and cold yet kind and caring. Her achievement were her own and only and I personally love that after becoming the Empress Dowager she decided to travel the world and write a book. She stayed true to her belief to the very end. And unlike in the TJOAIC, I feel like that I got to know the FL for who she really was like the emperor did as well. He knew that she didn't love him exactly but that every single of her statements were a mix of truths and lies. And like he said he first loved her beauty then her character and finally how earnest yet deceitful she was. In the end I was surprised with how much I loved the Emperor. I cried so much when he died and in his extra chapter story

    [collapse]

    All in all I loved this story and how well made and interesting the characters were. After finishing it I couldn't help but feel quite empty as if a page of a long journey finally ended. I am waiting for the day the translation will end so I can't reread it as I have only translated the Chinese chapters on my own. I want to thank the author for such a beautiful story

She is forcibly put into the imperial harem against her will.

The emperor is described as handsome, young, and wise which makes more tolerable when the novel talks about how the heroine and the emperor have s*x (not talked about in graphic detail just whether the emperor was lazy and had the heroine be active or whether the emperor was lustful and was the active one). The novel displays the influence of politics because based on the concubine's family background their ranking and how often the emperor visits them is different. The emperor has just risen to power and the remnants of the other princes are still present. Some of the novel talks about how the emperor deals with this. There is even an

My favourite harem intrigue novels have always been, ETT, TJOAIC, TTSIP and TBAVW. In that order. When I saw the reviews that said this was better than TJOAIC I was doubtful. Especially after seeing the number of chapters. Most authors tend to loose steam after a hundred chapters or so (unless the chapters are short) so a +400 chapter novel honestly didn't seem promising. I am quite happy to have been proven wrong. I found myself reading chapter, after chapter, eager for more.

100TTCTE is truly a well written novel. The... more>> MC has a vivid and interesting personality. She knows what she wants from life and is unafraid to go after it. And best of all, she knows what her strengths and weaknesses are and is fully capable of leveraging her strengths to make up for her weaknesses.

The novel even succeeds addressing what, in my opinion, is TJOAIC's main weakness. The lack of personality in the emperor. The emperor in this novel is fleshed out and quite interestingly, has a very good understanding of the MC. So their relationship feels far more balanced.

The author even takes the time to flesh out the villains and other side characters. The novel has a good cast of smart female characters who are not close allies or enemies of the MC. And this raises the overall quality of the novel. Its definitely worth reading. <<less

oh gosh I finally finish reading it, im so sad it ends and I love it sooo much! In my opinion, it's very different from TJOAIC, even better. This one is much more detailed and elaborate on the plot. Idk but the scenes are really satisfying to me, I like what is happening and where the story is going. I super love the MC! She's amazing overall. Cold-blooded to people that are bad to her and her son, very smart, calm, bold and strong. At this point in time I... more>> still have mix feelings for the ML (emperor) but I like how as time gradually went, he realizes his felings for the MC. I also love their son! How I wish she got pregnant again and give us a daughter.

i got teary-eyed and I cried several times reading the extras. I love how the author gave us individual point of views of the different characters involved in the story. I will miss Yun Li. I hope she and the ML will love each other in different worlds and reincarnations everytime. They deserved so much more! <<less

Would I sound cliche if I said that I didn't expect to love this story more than the TJOAIC? Because almost all reviews of this story said this thing but it is true. If you haven't read The Job Of A Imperial Concubine and you came across this first, then, read TJOAIC before this one because you wouldn't have the interest to finish the former if you read this novel first.

How should I put it? This novel is more realistically portrayed than TJOAIC, I thought that TJOAIC is realistic enough... more>> but this novel proved me wrong. Nothing is attainable easily and this story proves that. From power, desires, hopes, wishes, and love, and even peace. You'll feel frustrated by how slow the progress of her rank is climbing up, of how her Emperor's favor is not solid enough to be called unshakable, of how she's not having a child when everyone around her is having one. You'll feel suspicious if she's really genuine, you'll feel curious if that's her true self. There's so many emotions that this novel will trigger inside you, so be ready.

I love how this novel is ruthless, thrilling, and suspensive but at the same time, chill, funny, and heartwarming. This truly deserve to be called a novel. It just disappointing how its translations is not finished so I need to mtl'ed half of its chapters and I skimmed through it because I don't understand a thing. I'll definitely come back in the future to finish this novel with its finished translated version.

Qi Yunli (FL) :

NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW I LOVE HER WHOLE BEING AND EXISTENCE. SHE'S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER SO FAR. She's just, rational, wise, and true to herself. She didn't let herself be wronged in the palace because she's already wronged by being sent in the palace unwillingly. She's not your typical overpowered MC, she's definitely overpowered since she's the MC but she's not omnipotent where she can eliminate her enemies on the spot. The revenge here is not done in a fast-paced one but it is slow and takes time which I like, unexpectedly. She knows her worth, if she loses her favor by showing her attitude then, she doesn't care.

Spoiler

She knows that she was sent to the palace with a purpose that's why living a low-key life is not possible for her even if she wants to. Because not competing for favor is also a great option for her but like I said, since she was sent to the palace with a purpose, she needs to step out and outsmart everyone around her so she can a life with a human dignity and pride. Her life wasn't easy but at least, she lived an honest life. She's not a transmigrator, she's a reincarnator because she knows that this life is her second life that's why being bold and speaking her mind is one of her character that came naturally form her past modern self and what the Emperor like about her also. The Emperor doesn't know a thing about her past life nor a soul knew about it other than herself which is I like the most. I like her reasoning that she doesn't want her child to be the crown prince if there is a legitimate heir in front but wouldn't restrain her child becoming a crown prince if it is done in a fair fight for the throne. I like how she didn't like having power but knew its advantages also because being powerless can not save you nor your child since she came from a powerful background and with her eldest cousin being an example.

[collapse]

Emperor (ml) :

I like how he's realistically portrayed that even after meeting our FL, he didn't abstained from having children with the other concubines. He didn't fell in love at first sight with our FL but he did as time pass by, it's slow burn that
Spoiler

after 20 years, that's the only time that other noticed that Yunli's favor is unshakable. It's a pity that no one ever guessed how Yunli's acquired not just a portion of the Emperor's love but maybe his whole heart, or maybe there is someone but because it is a mtl one, I didn't understand it.

I liked it more than I thought I would. I just hope there would be a better translation (because the current one seems to be MTL) so I can read it again.

My only gripe is:

... more>>
Spoiler

Consort Shu and the Sixth Prince. Their reason for rebelling is kinda weak. I get that the Sixth Prince wanted to be the Crown Prince but they knew that the odds were stacked against them. But they would rather take that chance, even if there's a big chance they would die because they prefer that over their current living situation? And Consort Shu said that she doesn't want to bow down to anyone anymore. If she became the empress, she would still have to bow down to the emperor and empress dowager. She's a first-rank consort, the only additional person she would have to bow down to is the empress.

I dunno, that rebellion part was just disappointing to me. I wish there was a more convincing reason for them to rebel. Usually rebellions occur if they were backed into a corner and it didn't seem that way for Consort Shu and the Sixth Prince. It just felt like they were throwing their life away for the sake of the plot.

It's complete on the website, idk why NU only lists it up to c 42. Genuinely one of the best harem intrigue novels ive ever read, I read it non stop for like 4 days. It's bittersweet in my opinion, MC has a genuinely cold character which might not appeal to some, but her responses to problems made me laugh out loud several times.

I would say a lot of people meet very dark fates in this novel, some end up living exactly as they wish despite that maybe not being... more>> the readers wish.

This is not a romance in the slightest. Read it anyway.

My only criticism is that it definitely needs editing, the name and title translations are all over the place. Pronouns are messed up often too. <<less

It's a good novel.

It touches upon a lot of things that "job of imperial concubine" did not cover. There are a lot of perspectives involved, and the characters are well fleshed out.

MC and ML grow upon you, and I cried ugly tears at his death. There are so many pitiful characters in this book, and this story leaves a long impression after completing it.

This was, without a doubt, a long and fascinating journey. The story of palace intrigue follows Yun Li from her entry into the harem, her struggle to escape the clutches of the noble consort, and her eventual success in leaving her mark on this competitive and treacherous environment.

On the other concubines:

The other concubines were memorable and surprisingly complex. Each character had their own backstory and reasons for their actions, which made them unique and compelling. At no point did I feel bored—quite rare, considering the story spans over 400 chapters.... more>> This level of depth kept the plot engaging from beginning to end.

The ML:

The emperor was an excellent character. He wasn’t foolish and managed the harem with rationality and efficiency. His love for the FL (female lead) was not sudden or forced; instead, it developed gradually and naturally through their interactions. However, I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness, as it seemed his love was not returned with the same intensity.

The FL:

Yun Li was an admirable protagonist: calculating, shrewd, and incredibly intelligent. Every step she took seemed carefully planned, and her ability to maintain control in any situation was impressive. Even her interactions with the ML left me wondering whether they were genuine or part of her strategy, which only added to her complexity.

Realism and Competence:

The story captivated me with its realistic portrayal of the harem. The emperor wasn’t naive, the FL wasn’t flawless, and even figures like the empress, the empress dowager, and the high-ranking concubines displayed their own competencies and well-defined personalities. This realistic approach was one of the story’s strongest points.

My reflections:

Although it was a long and satisfying journey, I couldn’t help but feel melancholic during the final chapters and the first two extras. Perhaps it was the way certain loose ends were tied, or simply the intensity of the story itself, but those moments left me deep in thought.

This is a story that shines for its intricate characters, well-constructed plot, and realistic approach to such a complicated setting as an imperial harem. It’s a must-read for those who enjoy long, detailed, and emotionally gripping tales.

Definitely, this story deserves 5 stars <<less

I don’t usually read long stories—200 chapters is usually my limit. So, when I read the synopsis for this novel, I was a bit skeptical. However, the reviews convinced me to give it a try, even with its 400+ chapters.

If you love the “The Job of an Imperial Concubine” you will definitely love this story more.

This is the most realistic depiction of Ancient China I’ve ever read, with a profound portrayal of palace intrigues and the imperial harem. I definitely love Yunli and the Emperor. I cried at the end... more>> of the chapters because
Spoiler

although Yunli’s love for the emperor was only an act, in the end she really loved him. It was the same for the emperor. Despite having many consorts fighting for his favor, he would still come back and would always yearn for Yunli’s affection.

It took me just four days to finish this novel, and it never disappointed. I’m also not someone who usually reads extra chapters, but the last four extras are very important. Don’t skip them! Otherwise you will miss a great ending 😉 <<less

I see a lot of comparisons to other novels like TJOAIC and I agree that in some aspects the story is more fleshed out - the character of the emperor, his personal thoughts and relationship with his children. However, the translation does a complete disservice to the novel and read almost like MTL with pronouns continually swapped and ever-changing names. While you are able to get the gist of the novel, it ends up breaking immersion and leading the readers to fill in characters with who they think it is.... more>> In the end, I couldn't sympathise with a lot of the concubines because I couldn't tell which one was which and who's story belonged to who.

Personally, what I found the most enjoyable detail was Yun Li's rationalisation of her relationship with the emperor. This is not love and it cannot ever be, for someone who was born in an era of monogamy and retained rights. However if she can pretend sincerely enough and the affection she receives in return is genuine, how different can it be? And is it so wrong? I liked that some of the other concubines and even the dowager empress were clued in on her deception (especially that little bit where they go "In the end, he's just a man") and didn't begrudge her for it, instead admiring her for it.

The novels plot is quite linear and straightforward. Everything falls into the MC's lap quite nicely so most of the focus is on the other women trying and dying trying to succeed in taking power or her place while she skilfully convinces the Emperor that no one can love him like she does on the side. <<less
