The two books,"House of Poetry" and "The Jade-faced Golden Phoenix of the Wife of the Second Concubine", had similar plot descriptions. The protagonists were all of low status, but they had dreams and pursuits, and they loved the male protagonist deeply. Among them, the female lead of "The Jade-faced Golden Phoenix of the Concubine" was looked down upon by the male lead because of the black spots on half of her face. However, her talent and wisdom convinced the people around her, and she was able to be with the male lead in the end. I hope these recommendations can help you. Muah ~
