Description
Born into a distinguished family, blessed with unparalleled beauty, and being the emperor’s cherished moonlight, Consort Jiang Hui should have led a life of effortless grace. Alas, the superficial sisterhood in the Eastern Palace, the endless stream of beautiful women from the provincial governments, and the so-called lookalike substitutes, all with similar appearances and demeanors, constantly reminded her that in the palace, no one could tread effortlessly.

My Thoughts on Why Hasn’t the Consort Died Yet
"Why Hasn't the Consort Died Yet" is definitely a unique experience in the harem scheming genre. It's a completed novel, so you can binge it all at once, but be prepared for a wild ride!
First Impressions
Going into this, I was intrigued by the premise of a female lead who is already the Emperor's white moonlight. It's a refreshing twist on the usual "competing for favor" trope. I was expecting a lot of political intrigue and clever maneuvering, and I wasn't entirely disappointed. The title itself is quite the hook, hinting at the dangerous life our protagonist leads.
What Works Well
The sheer amount of scheming is impressive. We're talking layers upon layers of plots, conspiracies, and hidden agendas. If you're looking for a novel that dives deep into the cutthroat world of the imperial harem, this delivers. The female lead is incredibly intelligent, often outsmarting everyone around her, including the Emperor himself. The plot is complex, and the characters are well-developed. Even minor characters feel relevant and contribute to the overall story, which is a welcome change from novels where side characters are easily forgotten. I also appreciated the multiple perspectives, including those of the consorts, princes, and even maids. It really fleshed out the world and kept me engaged.
Areas of Concern
The biggest issue for me was the lack of romance. I went in expecting some kind of connection between the Emperor and the Consort, but their relationship felt more like a strategic alliance than a love affair. The translation can also be a bit clunky at times, with sudden POV shifts that can be disorienting. Also, the sheer number of characters can be overwhelming. Keeping track of everyone's names, titles, and changing allegiances can be a challenge.
