Reader’s guide:
At first, the female lead is simply putting on the airs of a ruler to fool people. In reality, she still thinks like a modern person and tends to be timid, so when handling many situations, she can only maintain her “ruler persona” by being decisive and ruthless.
Her experiences later change her personality and way of doing things considerably, and she truly becomes a capable sovereign.
There is no male lead in the main story. Feel free to ship whoever you like, as long as you don’t break up the official couples.
Political intrigue is the heart of this book. The multiple male leads are just a bit of flavor in an empress story. In essence, the middle and later parts focus more on the contenders vying for supremacy, but the female lead remains the one and only leading lady!
…
This is a political-intrigue novel set in an alternate world with no real-life historical parallels. Just enjoy it as fiction!
Hope you enjoy reading!
