Nine years ago, a palace coup changed the ruling house of the Xiqing dynasty. On the night of the coup in the capital, several loyal ministers who opposed the Empress's ascension were executed and their families wiped out. The orphan Wei Ning, seeking revenge for her father's death, seizes the opportunity of the Empress's examinations for female officials to enter the capital and begin her quest for vengeance. After enduring hardship and maneuvering at every turn, she finally rises to the highest rank among the female officials and wins the Empress's trust. But the truth is cruel: her father, who died serving the dynasty, was the mysterious Imperial Preceptor who helped the Empress seize the throne! With all the people she once knew gone after the coup, Wei Ning ultimately chooses to leave the struggle for power behind and live in seclusion with Xiao Song.
Although the emotional drama in this article is average, I still give it five points because the Machiavellian drama is very exciting! It is truly unique among the crowd of commentators, and the ending is also unexpected. The relationship between the male and female protagonists came a bit suddenly, and they became deeply in love after only two or three opportunities. The two got along very rarely, and their interactions were limited to hugs. It was not as exciting as when the male protagonist flirted with the female protagonist! I just ate some candy at the end, it was not easy! The theme of the story revolves around the struggle for imperial power. She is still a queen, and it is more conflicting. If she narrates it from another angle, she will be a proper heroine! Power is paramount, ruthless, and he conspires with his lover. Unfortunately, there should be no affection between a king and his ministers. In the end, it can't resist mutual suspicion, and they become strangers~ The pace at the beginning was a bit slow, the heroine was a bit weak, and the revenge was not fulfilled. However, with the emergence of various characters and the development of the plot, it became much better. The ending was very popular with me!
Excellent literary talent, worth recommending to friends, comparable to Xi Huazhi
The IQ and EQ of the male and female protagonists are quite online, and the storyline is also reasonable, especially the ending of jade and gold. I feel that the author is getting better and better the more he writes!
Beautiful, very exciting
