A truly captivating book, I didn't want to skip ahead. Xie Zhan was utterly devoted to Lu Wan. He relentlessly searched for the truth behind his parents' deaths, never severing ties with the Lu family despite his uncle's evidence. Even when he believed there was a deep-seated hatred between them, he never forgot his initial feelings.
Author, please give the male lead some more suffering. If you don't torment him, he'll forget who he is.
The male and female protagonists share a deep childhood bond. The male protagonist later becomes emperor, but due to a misunderstanding, he forces himself to abandon the female protagonist. Unable to bear his longing, he plots to bring her into the palace. Torn between revenge and love, the male protagonist is forced to compromise to protect his family and marry the male protagonist.
If the current empress dies and the female protagonist becomes empress, but only as a concubine...
The female lead is so pitiful, so I'm waiting until the male lead gets tortured before I start watching! Sisters, kick me when the male lead gets tortured! I want to watch it all at once! 🤔
It's a pity that even though you crowned the female lead as Empress, she is still the Empress Consort, not the Empress Dowager.
I think it's a pretty fresh story so far, with well-developed characters and vivid descriptions, which I really like. But I have one request: could you please update more often? 🥺 It's so frustrating when the story suddenly stops and I can't follow the plot! 🤦 Also, I'm curious to see how the author will resolve the plot hole regarding the female lead's grandfather. I've considered many possibilities, but none seem quite right, so please update soon! [Note]
It was captivating, but the female lead was ultimately a concubine, retaining the glory of the original empress and the Li family. She was not the first wife, and although the ending was happy, with the two deeply in love, it still left me feeling a little frustrated. Of course, the author's writing is excellent.
It's very well written. May I ask how many chapters you plan to write?
The male protagonist's love is restrained and profound. From a hopeless situation to a mutual commitment, he sacrifices a great deal. Although he initially hesitates to approach the female protagonist due to family feuds, he ultimately follows his heart.
