It's really great, and it's been captivating me so far. I hope Qingqing can always stick to her ideals, and I hope she can be free. I also hope she doesn't get pregnant before she truly accepts the male lead. I don't want her to face a choice between wanting and not wanting, and I don't want her to be forced to become a mother, the male lead's wife, or an empress because of pregnancy, and no…
It looks great, I really like this body shape, it's very novel.
I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely love this story. The female lead is ambitious in ancient times and doesn't live a conventional life. As I read, she seemed to come alive in my mind. I truly, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely love it! ❤️❤️ Ambition is never a bad thing.
It's so good, the more you read, the more addictive it becomes, making you eagerly anticipate the next installment. Author, please update soon! [Requesting a massive update!]
It's quite good and the plot is very novel. It's really unbelievable that a woman in ancient times would be interested in power. She went from being a powerful minister to becoming an empress, and from an empress to a powerful minister and empress. 2024.8.6.8.54
A very good book. The plot flows smoothly throughout, with few unnecessary misunderstandings. The male and female leads are likable, and the cross-dressing trope is also very appealing. The interactions are heartwarming, and while the supporting characters have limited screen time, the main and supporting roles are clearly defined. A must-read!
The novel "Absolutely Perfect" features a male protagonist with unparalleled wisdom and resourcefulness, who has everything under control. He is incredibly indulgent towards the female protagonist, granting her the freedom and power she desires, but only within his own sphere of influence. He is calculating and deeply in love with her. The book is made all the more captivating by the male protagonist.
It's a good read, but it still has its shortcomings. The male lead thinks he loves the female lead very much, but he still forces her to consummate the marriage. Even though he knows she is Princess Shou'an and is worried about the Yong'an Prince's Mansion, he still hides it from her. Many parts of the story show that the male lead prioritizes consolidating his imperial power before loving the female lead. The above represents only my personal opinion; please do not take it personally.
This novel depicts the growth and transformation of Empress Gu Yunqing and Emperor Shen Zhouxing amidst the power struggles of the imperial harem, as well as their difficult choices between love and power. The plot is full of twists and turns, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the story is brimming with suspense and surprises. Can power and love be balanced?
The bickering and playful banter between the male and female leads is fantastic, and the male lead already knew the female lead's true identity. It's incredibly entertaining and definitely worth watching! Everyone, come check it out!
