Synopsis

[Historical Romance + Palace Intrigue + Tragic Ending, Not a Chaste Romance] “Pure in conduct, never wanton, steadfast in reason.” That is where my name comes from. Mother said these were lines written by a scholar named Qu Yuan. Mother was unlike most people of this age. She was open-minded and accepting, always full of unusual ideas. She was more clever than many girls of her time, yet she could not escape the constraints of the era. When I was fifteen, my imperial uncle, the emperor, personally decreed that I become crown princess. I was no more able than Mother to escape those constraints. Once I became empress and took up residence in the central palace, I became the most exalted woman in the realm. I was a virtuous empress, a magnanimous wife, a loyal subject, and a capable mother. But I was never truly myself. Red, delicate hands. Golden wine. Spring colors across the city, willows along the palace walls. The east wind is cruel. Our joy was brief. An endless ache, years of separation. Wrong, wrong, all wrong.

Any Recommendations with Non-Pure Relationships?

Looking for books similar to "I'm a Psychology PhD, and I Slaughter My Way Through the Imperial Palace." I want something that isn't mutually exclusive and faithful. I've been obsessed with palace intrigue lately, especially the kind with jokes and lots of comedy. Ahhhhh, I just can't get through those pure and innocent mutually faithful romances anymore!! I just want to read about men

Hello, dear book lovers, I am the author of this book. When you are reading the book reviews, you may see this comment of mine. I am sorry to take up your precious time, but I am still willing to ask you to read the following words of mine: The protagonist of this book, Ji Shuli, is a female character who survived under the oppression of imperial power. Her mother came from a strong business woman background in the 21st century, and she perfectly inherited her mother's wisdom. She loves freedom but is trapped in the palace wall. She is smart but makes wedding clothes for others. Ji Shuli also resisted, but her brother was stillborn. Under the pressure of extreme imperial power, she gave up her original intention and became the most satisfying pawn of the royal family. At first, Ji Shuli's life of marrying into the East Palace was relatively happy, but she actually had the idea of "living like this for the rest of her life." But a man's love is the most unbelievable. So she went on to become a qualified queen, managing the harem and raising children. After hitting the wall several times, Ji Shuli finally realized that imperial power was like a knife hanging above his head. When he extended his head, it was a knife, and when he retracted his head, it was also a knife. A brief sentence cannot represent her life. Perhaps by turning the pages of the book, you can get a glimpse of Ji Shuli's journey of struggling forward step by step and finally finding herself.

How can I say it is very true! I am really too angry with the emperor. When will I abuse the emperor? I feel sorry for the queen, but she is indeed very sober

The feelings of the emperor and the empress were more realistic, and they successfully created a scumbag emperor who was bad and lonely. There must be something hateful about a poor person. The heroine drives the plot forward.
