The Legend of Shu He in the Palace
Born in an imperial family and married into an imperial family, she was helpless. It was like the wailing of golden glass in the drizzle, lingering between the four red walls. After the late Emperor passed away, Prince Xi succeeded to the throne in front of the spirit. From then on, a new chapter began in the former dynasty and the harem. However, in the past, the six palaces had never stopped scheming against each other. Even if he was born noble, thousands of people respected him, and his power was comparable to that of the six palaces. After the prosperity, what she cherished the most was his words,'I'll promise you a peaceful life.' However, the doubts in her heart didn't gradually dissipate with his company. Her family was in decline. If she was a wise and foolish empress, what would she do? The infatuated and beautiful Consort Jing Yuan, how many more plans did she have? Was the clever and clever Yu Concubine Huizi, who had come from afar, a friend or a foe? The astronomical phenomena were heretical, miscarried for no reason, and there were red flowers at the banquet. Was it heaven's will, or was there someone else?
Shu He, Shu He, when will you see the clouds and the moon?

This story left me in disbelief and it's too bad because it started good and I got hooked up. Unfortunately, Jedrek/Lilac couple was left for the end, and the sour aftertaste of their story overshadowed everything good that happened before that. Jedrek is a werewolf and he should feel the mate bond, look at Lilac like she is his Goddess, and fight for Lilac's affection, yet it turned the other way around. Jedrek was cruel, selfish, and indecisive, thinking only about his first love (aka Serafina), while keeping Lilac in the background. Jedrek killed Lilac when she was a baby (literally), and then he killed Lilac again when he held Seraphina in his arms and acted lovey-dovey right in front of Lilac! And in between those two, he tortured Lilac physically and mentally. What kind of a mate does that? The story would be more satisfying if Jedrek suffered until eternity for what he had done and that he found Lilac after the war happy with a man who knows how to love her, but noooooo.... Jedrek got his happy ending because Lilac forgave him. AGAIN! I mean, Lilac was supposed to be a sassy and powerful guardian angel, yet she ended up being absolutely submissive to the point of allowing Jedrek to return to her after everything he did. As a non-werewolf, Lilac didn't feel the mate bond. Why did she fall in love with her murderer/abuser? Would Jedrek long for Lilac after the war if Serafina didn't die? Why did he realize that Lilac exists only after he lost Serafina? I can forgive Jedrek many things, but it's unforgivable how he hurt Lilac AFTER they mated and he announced to everyone that Lilac is his queen. As her mate, Jedrek was supposed to feel her pain, heartbreak, betrayal... but he didn't and he ended up going to Serafina repeatedly (he is a perfect example of a cheating husband). I don't care if he jumped into a volcano or in outer space, and I don't care if he understood how much he hurt Lilac. It came too late, and nothing can fix the wrongs he did. That said, the first two stories are good.
