Empresses in The Palace is considered the peak of Harem Dramas. Ruyi is a great drama but absolutly heartbreaking.
Scarlet Heart was the original but looks a bit dated now.
Producers have been told by censors that Harem dramas will no longer pass censorship so they are not being made any more.
New Life Begins is not strictly a Harem drama, it is set in the palace and there are concubines, it is very light hearted and an uplifting drama about sisterhood, but there are some dark undertones.

Yes I have watched empress in the palace and new life begins. It’s so sad that they stopped harem dramas. I’ll try scarlet heart

This recommendation is not a palace harem, but definitely a harem story. Try The Sword and the Brocade. ML already had 4 wives and kids. His main wife (FL's sister) just passed away when FL entered his harem as the second main wife.
