As the first female Presented Scholar under Heaven, Chang Li only wanted to be a diligent wage earner and help build up the Emperor's realm. Little did she know that the Emperor only wanted her to adorn his harem!!!
Li Ji ascended the throne at a young age. He had wanted to devote himself to state affairs, strengthen the realm, defend its borders, and bring peace and prosperity to the people. That had been his lifelong wish, until someone appeared who protected what he protected and loved what he loved.
What began as a perfectly proper bond between ruler and subject ended with the two of them joining hands to welcome a golden age and admire their realm.
“In your heart, is there nothing between us but the bond of ruler and subject?”
“May every river and every place touched by the sun and moon be Your Majesty's realm, and may all under heaven be Your Majesty's people.”
The author's writing style is very good, and there are many allusions in it. I can only say that some things can only be understood after reading the book, and you can understand a lot of cultural common sense. Strongly recommended[Thinking]
The relationship between Li Ji and Chang Li is actually in line with the love story in the context of imperial power. A king cannot have only one wife, and his identity determines that he cannot only have Chang Li. Therefore, it is normal for him to go to the palace of his concubines in the article; and Chang Li's life and death for his family and the world is also touching. Since we can't be together for the rest of our lives, then after death, the two of them are buried together in a mausoleum where they won't be disturbed by other people, which is the best demonstration of their unforgettable love that lasts until death.

It's wonderful but the ending is so sad.
