Saiunkoku Monogatari (Tale of Saiunkoku or The Story of Saiunkoku or Colourcloud Palace or Tale of Many-Coloured Clouds)- Season 1-39 episodes, season 2-25 episodes and ongoing based on Sai Yukino's manga
Shuurei joins the imperial harem to teach the stupid emperor. It's the beginning of her journey to reach her dreams and ambitions to help build a peaceful and thriving kingdom of Saiunkoku. This is currently my no. 1 favorite anime! It's like the modern counterpart of "Fushigi Yuugi" for me. The story is well-written and each episode has a proverbs theme. I'm also torn between Ryuuki and Sakujun. Sigggghhh! It will be showing in Animax soon but the title will be "Colourcloud Palace". I didn't watch it right away because I read somewhere that it's a Sunday morning anime in Japan, so I thought it will be like "Fruits Basket". But I'm glad I did because all the previous reverse harem animes I've watched paled in comparison. The opening is so dreamy that it makes me nostalgic with the previous episodes and makes me eager for more romance overload.

Updated review on Top 10. 1/24/2020:
It is based on a light novel. The opening song of Shurei and Ryuji is forever etched in my memory. Back then I was thinking this is the closest to Fushigi Yugi. But it is unique on its own. I love the story, the characters and I can't get enough of the two main cast. My only complaint is that the couple's screentime together is so limited because of the political dynamics. I can vividly remember I was about to start with my new job and the start date was too far away so all I did was binge on reverse harem after another and this was the last anime. It was the perfect anime to end my marathon. To unload my feelings of happiness and excitement to discover more reverse harem, I created this blog. I really want to read the light novel or manga even though I saw a spoiler already. Huhu I also have a thing for King Incognito tropes and again ugh the villain, Sa Sakujun.
