She is an empress who never stops preaching about benevolence and morality, yet holds others to high standards while giving herself a free pass. She’s a master of double standards.
She thinks she’s an aloof, self-proclaimed moonlight beauty. In everyone else’s eyes, she’s a fool living in a fantasy, shameless and forever convinced she’s the one being wronged.
She uses her status as empress to persecute the women and children of the harem, all while putting on the act of a pure, victimized innocent.
When others compete for the emperor’s favor, they’re in the wrong. When she flirts with a guard, it’s just a meeting of kindred spirits.
When others scheme, they’re malicious. When she orders people to kill, she has no choice.
Her methods are vile and her heart is poisonous. As a daughter, she is unfilial; as a concubine, disrespectful; as a wife, unvirtuous; as empress, unkind; and as a mother, uncaring.
Ruyi, she’s the Qing dynasty’s number-one shameless woman: sleeping with a guard while brazenly setting up a monument to her own chastity!
It's good-looking, but it's so good that it makes you feel uncomfortable, and you feel like you've really gone to the harem of a big influence. I read a little bit every time, otherwise it will have an impact if I read too much. No matter how many times I read it, I still hate Da Ru very much. Maybe it's because there are people like this around me who see me gnashing my teeth.
Da Ru can be considered to have lived a happy life. After all, in her opinion, the queen who occupied her position died and she succeeded in ascending to the throne. Brother Hongli's true love has only been her, and everything was for the sake of loving her. She has also been using her status as a queen to bully others, and they dare not speak out in anger. Until her death, she lived in the illusion that she was alone and pampered. Others were so angry with her that they almost fainted. She was as stupid and bad as anyone who had nothing to do with her.
For the first time, I felt that Ruyi was filming a horror movie, as if she was living in The Truman Show
The author's writing style is really good. Every time I watch this movie, I always go back to the beginning to enjoy it 🤦
Flashback tells the story of Da Ru's dream. This way of thinking and writing is very novel and beautiful. At first, I thought that listening to the book had missed the plot, but then I read the synopsis. It's as big as it is, really, very bumpy.
It's beautiful. The feeling of Da Ru that makes you want to hit her is completely written. The author's writing style is also very good. The only problem is that the story is told in reverse order. I want to watch it in reverse. I don't want to watch Da Ru become more and more able to jump, or I want to watch it gradually lead to a dead end.
I like this narrative method. It unfolds the chaos under Da Ru's rule bit by bit, breaking my own beautiful fantasy after the cold palace was abandoned.
See Chapter 79. I have to stop for a while and take my time before I can read it. The author writes very well. Flashbacks work too. All good. It's just that I kept holding my breath while watching it. Every time I watched Da Ru, there was no punishment. I had stagnation of liver qi, and my breasts were also breasts. I'm going to find a good book about abusing Daru and take a break before I come back to it.
This work is worth watching, and it is recommended to watch it from back to front to better understand the plot. The author shows extremely high logic in plot construction. However, there are some omissions in details. For example, the cause of Jinzhong's death and Wanwan's self-rescue process are not described in detail. In addition, the depiction of Ruyi's ending is not tragic enough, and it makes her angry just to see her!
It's well written, I don't know why so few people read it. But because it's a flashback, Ruyi is really annoying. The author writes very well, the prose is fluent, the characters are well created, and they have their own opinions. Like
