[Political intrigue + villainess + ensemble cast + nation and world]
In the thirty-sixth year of the Daye era, Ye Zhongpin, an obscure member of the imperial clan, colluded with foreign enemies, the Japanese pirates, and invaded. The Daye imperial palace ran red with blood.
She was the eldest princess of the royal family, and watched with her own eyes as her loved ones were slaughtered and treacherous officials seized power.
She schemed to obtain the imperial decree, took power as regent, and eliminated corrupt officials one by one!
The ministers said, “The eldest princess is cruel and unjust. We must force her from power...”
The common people said, “The eldest princess drove loyal officials to their deaths. Heaven will surely punish her...”
Loyal ministers died in the halls of power, while treacherous officials hid among the people with smiles on their faces. The rise and fall of a nation is always built upon the flesh and blood of countless people.
Some spent half their lives serving at court, only to return home to a chill, fading dusk.
Some spent their lives on the battlefield, their bodies wrapped in straw after death.
Ten years in the capital left behind mountains of white bones!
I love it, the content is also very detailed, the princess is brave and resourceful. 🥰
The writing style is very good, it describes the princess's planning in the court, and also describes the feelings of family and country, which is very delicate.
