What caught my attention was your novel title, and your synopsis is just like one of those Harlequin romance. A very engaging read, with enough cliffhanger for readers to wait or demand an update.

This novel is my favorite on the site. It's hardly perfect, but it's entertaining and exciting. I do love my gender-benders. I wish it could surpass at least the uninspired harlequin-like novels out here...

This is a fluffy-adorkably-funny-romance story, somehow just like watch(read)ing a Hallmark-harlequin's one 😆, not that many in chapters, but still a very nice reading after or between other books full of endless misunderstanding, violence etc etc etc

This palace maid is very arrogant

Su Li had transmigrated into a book! The original owner was a young lady of the Su family who had just married into the palace. Not long after, she was thrown into the lake near the Cold Palace where the hostages of the border country lived by the "men in black". Unfortunately, she was saved by someone! He never expected that this was actually a trap set up by the Emperor! Su Li didn't expect that she would actually become the emperor's "chess piece", and it was even a chess piece that wanted to find trouble for the hostage prince. She was caught between the Emperor and the prince, struggling to deal with them. She was caught in the mutual deception of the two countries, and she became an important person in the fluctuations of the two countries. In order to prevent the prince from getting hurt, Su Li had been secretly circling around the emperor. She didn't expect that in the end, she actually fell in love with the prince. The love he had never received in his two lifetimes had descended upon him. But…she could only give it a try, and in the end, he was the only one who stayed with her. She vaguely remembered that on that birthday night, she had prayed for him. The Kongming Lantern slowly flew in the sky, shining on the earth like a sky lantern. "Know my heart, and I will fulfill my wish." "I hope you understand my intentions. May the beauty smile and rest in peace." That heart-throbbing yet poignant love lasted for a moment in the imperial court before it finally ended with a sigh. All that was left behind was a regretful story of fate.
