Description
Ye Yang, a straight man from Northeast China, transmigrated into a novel about court fights, became a concubine, and was bound to a system, which could put on view the favorability score of the main characters. On condition that the emperor’s favorability score was too high, he’d fall in love with Ye Yang. However, if his favorability score was too low, he’d be mercilessly killed. In order to protect his life and c*astity, Ye Yang forced himself to create his own persona, repeatedly switching between the personality of an unrefined man from Northeast China and the first beauty of the harem. Yet, things were getting worse and worse. At first, he let the favorability score of the dog emperor drop. Later, the score began increasing rapidly. Watching how the favorability score was about to skyrocket, Ye Yang panicked. He wore a gold chain and raised a mink, silencing all of the imperial concubines of the harem. Feng Luan’s favorability score had been increased by +1. He had a snowball fight with the dog emperor and pushed him into a snowdrift. Both of them caught a cold. Feng Luan’s favorability score had been increased by +10. The mink he raised thought out a plan for Feng Luan to renovate the imperial study room worth of more than 10.000 taels of silver. The imperial study was so horrible that one could hardly bear to look at it. Feng Luan’s favorability score had been increased by +100. What’s going on! Are you still a straight man! …… The longer Ye Yang lived in degradation, the more he felt that the dog emperor was different from what he initially thought. At his feet the ground was covered in blood and bones, but behind him was the delightful scenery of the prosperous world, and the coming of all nations. A few years later, he helped Ye Yang up the stairs and gazed into the distance. He saw a myriad of twinkling lights, bustling, bright and beautiful. And Feng Luan whispered in his ear. “My dear Imperial Concubine, look.” “This is our country.”

My Thoughts on The Emperor’s Favorite Imperial Concubine From the Northeast
This web novel certainly left an impression! "The Emperor’s Favorite Imperial Concubine From the Northeast" promises a comedic, historical yaoi romp, and it delivers... in its own unique way. I went in expecting a lighthearted story, and that's largely what I got, though perhaps not always in the way I anticipated.
First Impressions
The premise is undeniably intriguing: a straight guy from the Northeast ends up as a concubine in an imperial harem. The initial chapters definitely grabbed my attention with the promise of a fun, culture-clash scenario and the MC's attempts to avoid any romantic entanglement with the emperor. It had me curious to see how the author would balance the comedic elements with the potentially serious setting.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely the main draw. The MC's accent and his deliberate attempts to sabotage any romantic advances from the emperor are genuinely funny. I can see why many readers found themselves laughing out loud at his antics. The lighthearted nature of the story is also a plus. The conflicts are relatively easy to resolve, and even the "big villain" doesn't seem particularly menacing, making it a breezy and enjoyable read when you're in the mood for something light. The devoted love interests and doting ML tropes are also present, which some readers may find appealing.
Areas of Concern
While the comedy is a strong point, it can also be a point of contention. For some, the humor might be too over-the-top, to the point where it overshadows the plot and makes the characters seem less intelligent or rational. I can see how the exaggerated antics might not be everyone's cup of tea, and could become tiresome after a while. I also felt that the storyline itself, while based on an interesting idea, could have been executed with more depth and complexity. The conflict felt somewhat generic and predictable.
Final Verdict
"The Emperor’s Favorite Imperial Concubine From the Northeast" is a fun, lighthearted read that's best enjoyed if you're looking for something purely comedic and don't mind a bit of silliness. While the plot may not be the most intricate, the humor and the MC's unique personality make it an entertaining experience. However, if you prefer a more serious and nuanced story, this might not be for you. Overall, I'd say give it a try if you're in the mood for some laughs and a carefree romance.
