The female lead's character is truly my favorite one lately 😘😘 The second male lead is also the second one I've encountered who I like even more than the male lead, and who is more deserving of the female lead. The second male lead's story is so heartbreaking 😘 It's been so long since I've followed a serialized novel, I'm so looking forward to it ୧((•̀ꇴ•))૭⁺✧(✧◡✧)
It's so good! Tyrant A Yuan and Tang Tang are such a great couple. I hope Tang Tang opens her heart to A Yuan soon, so she can have both power and love 😘😘 A Yuan and Tang Tang are a perfect match 💕 Why are there so many rivals, one after another, it's endless! They even added a third male lead forcibly kissing the female lead.
It's a great read! I really like the male lead's character, and the second male lead is also incredibly well-written. I finished it in no time. When I got to the part about the plague, I thought they were going to kill off Xie, and I felt a little sad at that moment 😣😣😣😣 I really like Xie 🥺🥺🥺 Will Xie Zhiyan have a happy ending? 😢😢😢😢😢🥺
It's so good! I think Xie Yanzhi and Ji Wuwang feel more like the male leads than Ji Wuyuan, especially Ji Wuwang, who is my eternal regret. Author, could you please write more side stories about the female lead and Ji Wuwang? My little Qi brother is my eternal regret. I cried so much when I saw the scenes of Ji Wuwang returning to the capital to find Tangtang and what happened in the palace. 😭😭😭
While everyone was debating which second male lead was a better match for the female lead, I actually felt that the male and female leads were the most compatible. Judging from the female lead's childhood experiences and personality, although she's strong, deep down she longs for someone she can rely on.
I absolutely adore the shrewd, beautiful, and cunning female lead; she's practically too much of a male lead! I wish she could have a harem! I love the idea of an impure female lead and a pure male lead. My favorite book this year. I absolutely love the stories of Tangtang, Ayuan, Xiaoxie, and my beloved Xiaoqi.
My darlings, go for it! You won't have any regrets; it's truly, truly, truly amazing. The female lead is clear-headed and upright, the male lead lets go for love, Young Master Xie endures for love, and Brother Xiao Qi sacrifices for love—everyone adores the female lead. I thought Young Master Xie would be lonely for life, but unexpectedly, heaven gave him a chance to be reborn (in the epilogue).
It's a very good read. The author's writing is excellent. The synopsis says the male leads are all virgins, and the female lead's identity is yet to be determined. I hope the female lead is also virgin, and that it doesn't turn into a story of two men serving one woman.
I've read up to chapter 358. The beginning was the only one I've ever really gotten hooked on. But now I'm quite confused about the female lead. What exactly does she want? If it's freedom, why did she agree to become the male lead's empress? Even though it's a female-oriented novel, it's still quite unfair to the male lead. (This is purely objective and not pandering to male characters).
My fellow readers, this book is absolutely amazing!!! I highly recommend it! The male lead is pure of heart and soul, the plot is fast-paced and full of twists and turns. The female lead is very clear-headed; she knows the emperor's favor is fleeting and hasn't given her heart away yet. I've heard she resembles someone before, and I'm so curious! (This book is truly fantastic, but the rating isn't high yet, probably because it's new. Author, please keep updating! I can't wait!)
