The Best

In despair over the death of her mother, Ellin transmigrates to the past and into the body of another young woman, Solwha, aggrieved citizen of a newly subjugated country, whose role as one of many candidates to fill the conquering Emperor's harem, places her at the centre of intrigue. Ellin must navigate oppressive constrictions, and deal with the terrifying Senechal, Kiha. Beautiful artwork, realistic characters, exciting plot ... one of the best historical isekai I've ever read.

Breathtaking art. Interesting character-driven plot. Terrific world-building. The first few chapters are a bit garbled due to different scanlation efforts being mashed together, but persevere and the story will reward. Mòxiāng Tóngxiù and "Star ember" are an unbeatable team.
