This is truly the best political intrigue novel featuring a woman disguised as a man that I've ever read. In real life, some women with masculine features, even with androgynous styles, are easily mistaken for men. And I don't believe people in ancient times would be so bored as to constantly scrutinize someone's private life. I hope the protagonist of this story stays male from the start!
Very good. This score is indeed a bit low. The female lead is intelligent throughout, and her family is harmonious and united against outsiders. There are no awful family squabbles, only a strong sense of patriotism and national duty. The emperor is truly a terrible teammate; he's completely incompetent and arrogant, wanting to be a wise and benevolent ruler remembered for all time.
This is super good! The female lead is very shrewd and her scheming is brilliant. Compared to those ancient romance novels where the female lead is disguised as a man and it's all about her stunning beauty and love, this book is a breath of fresh air. I love the female lead! The author has also done a great job of developing the characters. Keep it up!
The reason why the rating is not 10 is probably because there is no romance at all. The female lead is intelligent throughout and plays the political game very well. It is the most intelligent and strong female lead novel I have ever read. It is excellent!
Finished reading on January 4, 2022 I spent about a week reading this book, witnessing the author's writing evolve from immature to mature and profound. The female protagonist's patriotism was deeply moving, and I also glimpsed the rise and fall of a dynasty.
Many people compare her to "The Female Prime Minister," and I've read both. I love both; they each have their own merits. "The Female Prime Minister" is more from a "female perspective," and while it does have occasional romantic subplots, it's not as cloying as other romance novels—it's just right.
I hope this is a super good political intrigue novel. The beginning was really good! I hope there won't be a male lead or a romance plot later on, and everyone will just focus on their careers. 💪🏻
It's so well-written! The characters are vividly portrayed, and I couldn't help but finish it in one go. The protagonist's journey is truly remarkable, and I love this type of story. There are no absurd scenes where a woman disguised as a man is suddenly discovered, or those filled with nothing but romance. The author's writing is excellent; you can easily follow the protagonist's emotions. Definitely five stars!
I've read many stories about women disguised as men, but I only really like "The Imperial Examination Counterattack: The Strongest Female Prime Minister" and this one. The writing is excellent, the scope is grand, and although the female lead is disguised as a man, she's not effeminate at all. She's magnanimous and responsible, and doesn't get bogged down in personal romances. It's definitely worth reading.
In this novel, the female protagonist's heart is solely devoted to national righteousness. Even after being reborn, she harbors no thought of overthrowing the dynasty; wholehearted dedication and selfless service are the best descriptions of her.
