If you need any help understanding the ranks of the harem women,

Empress (Huanghou): (1) 
- There can only be one empress, and she is the legitimate wife of the emperor. Highest ranked woman.

Imperial Noble Consort (HuangGuiFei): (1)
- This title is rarely given. It is usually only given to a woman before she is about to be empress, or essentially as a step empress. Also sometimes given to sickly noble consorts. 2nd highest ranked woman.

Noble Consort (GuiFei): (2)
- Title is given to senior women that advise the empress on matters of the harem. 3rd highest ranked woman.

Consort (Fei): (4)
- 4th highest ranked woman.

Imperial Concubine (Pin): (6)
- 5th highest ranked woman.

Noble Consort (GuiRen): (No Limit)
- 6th highest ranked woman.

1st Class Female Attendant (ChangZai): (No Limit)
-7th highest ranked woman.

2nd Class Female Attendant (DaYing): (No Limit)
-8th and lowest ranked woman.

Chosen Maid (GuanNvZi)
- Not an official rank. Given to maids that also sleep with the emporer.

Lady (NvShi)
- Not a rank. Given to women (imperial concubine and higher in status who own a manor) who are demoted to commoners. Assuming they are still the master of the palace, they will receive the title "Lady of (Palace name)"

Mistress 
- Colloquial title given to commoners that sleep with the emperor. They most likely are then simply sent home with hush money. Other times they are forced to be nuns or executed to protect the emperors pristine image.

Next, harem of the prince:

Primary Consort (DiFuJin): (1)
- Main wife of the prince. If the prince becomes emperor, she becomes consort as she is the legitimate wife of the prince.

- They often advise the Primary Consort on matters. If the prince becomes an emperor, they often are above the rank of imperial concubine.

Consort (GeGe): (No Limit)
- Not to be confused with the consort of the emperor. These are the lowest rank of women that sleep with the prince.

Mistress

The Emperor's Hidden Love by LyraEmberstone

The Emperor's Hidden Love tells the story of me, Linghu Tongxi, a concubine in the grand and treacherous imperial palace. I entered the palace young and ambitious, with a single goal: to rise above my rivals and secure my place. I am beautiful, talented, and above all, I thrive on competition. If there are no rivals, life becomes dull. At first, I thought I had it all figured out. My opponents include a modern woman who mysteriously traveled back in time, a powerful young empress, and even a fierce female general who commands the military. But never did I consider the emperor himself as a contender in my game-until I discovered the truth. Emperor Huangfu Yan was cold, distant, and seemingly indifferent to me. His behavior was cruel at times, even humiliating me in front of others. I couldn't fathom why a man like him, who seemed to have no interest in the palace's inner workings, would pay attention to me. But behind his icy exterior, I began to realize something more. He had been secretly watching over me for years. Despite his aloofness, he had already fallen in love with me long before I ever noticed. As time passed, I found myself drawn to him-not just by his silent protection, but by the deep emotions I began to sense beneath his harsh exterior. Slowly, I started to understand the complexity of his feelings, his vulnerability hidden by a façade of indifference. Eventually, his love for me became undeniable, and with that realization, my own feelings shifted. I was no longer simply a player in the palace's power games. I was a woman in love with the emperor who had loved me all along. In the end, The Emperor's Hidden Love is a story of emotional growth and revelation. It's about learning to trust, to let down my guard, and to realize that even in the most unlikeliest of places, love can blossom in the most unexpected ways. This is a tale of palace intrigue, deep emotions, and the powerful transformation that comes with understanding and accepting true love.
