Legend has it that the queen of Great Yan is nothing but a puppet, powerless and at the mercy of others. But Ling Long enjoys every minute on the throne: admiring lanterns, sampling delicacies, and traveling to mountains and rivers. Along the way, she makes powerful allies and takes the occasional shot at her useless rivals.
“Grand Preceptor, I want to escape the summer heat in the Tianshan Mountains!”
“As you command, Your Majesty. I'll send troops to seize the Tianshan Mountains and build you a summer palace!”
“Grand Preceptor, I want to spend the winter in Jiangnan!”
“As you command, Your Majesty. I'll send troops to seize Southern Chu and build you a heated palace!”
“Grand Preceptor, someone is coveting my throne!”
“Fear not, Your Majesty. With me by your side, your throne will remain secure for all eternity!”
Everyone says the Grand Preceptor is absolutely loyal to the queen, but Ling Long scoffs. He's got ulterior motives!
Sure enough, when she issues an edict arranging her marriage to the crown prince of Great Wei, the Grand Preceptor, who has always obeyed her in everything, suddenly bares his fangs:
“Let's see who dares to entertain such delusions!”
The story is novel and very interesting. The heroine is smart, domineering and eloquent. I like to watch her yell at people and make them angry to death. Haha, it's very enjoyable. The male protagonist is the flower of the high mountains, not only wise but also highly skilled in martial arts. The two of them join forces to fight powerful ministers and eliminate evil spirits. After many hardships, they finally stand at the pinnacle of power. I originally expected to compete with Mu Yuanshan for power. After all, he had demonstrated his super ability before, but later he committed suicide and made himself lose everything. It was a pity. The author's writing is good, his ideas are clear, and all the holes have been filled in. The only shortcoming is that there are too many repetitive parts, which makes it cumbersome.
