The novel was great now I can't wait to re-read here with some good art.
Here's the completed novel in case you are interested:

Personally I think it's worth the read.
But...
it is well noted in the comments section of the novel that many were disappointed by the FL development. She ends up being too lovestruck and typical manhua character-like. It's kind of disappointing how smart she is in the beginning yet somehow becomes clumsy and spoiled. Would have loved to see her become a boss as* empress. However the journey is long and you end up justifying her a bit since she does slowly fall in love with him. The ML matures and becomes loyal to her so if you're interested in his character development pls read on. Their relationship ends up being a little cringy but after a few shakes of the head you get over it and read on.
After reading the description and scrolling through the comments I kind of got the feeling maybe this is the novel it is adapted from: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/poison-genius-consort/
Can someone confirm my hunch?
They deserve better than the family they were given.
