Looking for Stories with a More Selfish Heroine
I'm looking for books like "The Flirty Little Temptress Is Bad and Toxic".

Friends, please share some novels like this. Thank you!
Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes
I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

It's not a request or a favor. No one can buy such a sincere book review from me with money, only I can write it from the bottom of my heart. The best novel I have read on Tomato so far. It can definitely withstand repeated chewing and re-reading. The characterization is real and profound. Contrary to the fake and assembly-line "big heroine" image on the market, Yun Yuan is a flesh-and-blood, sentimental and loving figure who finally gained power and love in an extremely harsh historical environment. She has moments of weakness and pain of struggle, but only through these can she have the conditions for subsequent development and becoming a real and true emperor. The author's narrative skills and descriptive writing are particularly strong, and the character's emotional transformation and relationship development are also very well grasped. And the most important thing is that readers can feel the author's thinking about feminism, and interested readers can also think based on the reader's writing. I would like to thank the author who has been working for 20 years (although I don't know the completion time yet, but let's count it this way) for giving me such a big shock in 25 years. This is particularly meaningful to me.
Finished reading Thursday, October 31st 23:42 In fact, when I watched it, I felt very sad. I almost guessed it would be a be ending, and even thought about a worse ending. Compared to he, I felt that be had more charm and was in line with the tone. It's like after watching the ups and downs in the past, the final ending 2 has become an unfulfilled regret in my heart, a afterglow in my dream, so touching. At first I read it because of the writing style, but I didn't expect it to be a short story. Different from ordinary Internet articles, the emotions between the lines of the article are delicate, as if there is an unclear connection between the two people, like mist-like rain, like rain-like mist, and the strands are lingering. I can't see you clearly, you can't see me clearly, we are so similar, but also so different. Meeting is fate and premeditated. Maybe I can't understand the distance and intentions between the two people, can't understand the weighing of pros and cons, let alone can't help myself, can't understand each of them. Or maybe I don't want to understand the reality. I have read too many cool articles on the Internet and enjoyed the absolute ideal. This is the reality close to reality. In just a few hours, it was like walking into the story of the two of them, as if it was so real.
I flipped through it casually, but I couldn't stop. As I read it, I felt that the author's writing was really good. When I turned back to read it, it turned out that it was Su Mian who said it. I have read all of her works, and the author once stopped writing. I felt very sorry at the time. It's such a joy to start reopening. Su Mianshuo's works are best known for their rich inner characters, including hesitation, hesitation, despair, pain, and awakening. Her words can evoke similar emotional experiences in readers, but there is also a sense of restraint that cannot be expressed in words. When you read her words, you often feel like you are breaking your heart. This story is similar to the story of two lonely strangers who warm each other in a cold world. The overall temperament is most suitable for a tragic ending. The author is very kind and gives us another happy ending. Highly recommended, go read it and see the beauty of her writing
Excellent work, with two special endings. The second ending is beautiful and the fulfillment that people expect, but I like the first ending better. This ending is the best for the empress and her male favorite. They are too similar, and they cannot be sincere and whole-hearted. Without a future, it will be forever.
I think Yunyuan's choice at the end of the article is reasonable. Even though she has proclaimed herself emperor and there are female officials in the court, a large proportion of the ministers and people in the court are dissatisfied, and female officials are not recognized by other courts. I personally understand that some of the words Du Weisheng's mother said to Du Weisheng expressed that she did not approve of a woman being the emperor. She hoped that Yunyuan's brother could return to the throne (maybe I understood it wrong). This shows that in fact, the people of the world, even women, have their differences. For those who agree with Yun Yuan becoming the emperor, there are actually very few talented women in the world. Men are in power in aristocratic families and clans, and it is more difficult for women to take the lead. Therefore, I think Yun Yuan chose a man to be the emperor in the end, which is more realistic and reasonable. Yunyuan could open women's courses and set up women's private schools to facilitate women, but the majority of courtiers were still men, and the emperor could not do whatever he wanted, unless she wanted to be a real tyrant. The above are some of my thoughts after reading this book. They are my shock and love for Yun Yuan's character. At the same time, I may also be yearning for her. Her incomprehension of love and her refusal to be softened by love are in my eyes the most profound and perfect part of her. I feel that without love in her world, there would not be many worries and obstacles. The above are some of my personal opinions. If there are any differences, please don't argue. Personal understandings are different, and my favorite points are also different. Respect everyone's point of view, peace and love.
Although I like he, the first ending is more suitable. This is the first time I have seen this kind of setting. I really like my attempt. Being an idealist, I persisted in reading this realistic article and saw the scenery of the world from another perspective. Love is a word that is hard to describe Also, this is the author's third book I've read! Looking forward to the author's other works [Blowing Kisses] 💕
Of the two endings, I prefer the he one. The reason is very simple. I read the novel just to make up for the regret of lack of money in my life. I want to find the story scenes that are most like real life from this false story, and then give it a beautiful ending, so that my sad heart seems to be really healed. So why worry about whether the ending of the novel is based on reality? Give yourself hope and a beautiful plaster to heal the wounds of reality. After watching it for a few hours, I could feel comfortable for a few days with a patch of plaster, a few good days of leisure, a few good nights of sleep, and most of my life passed like this. Maybe it's escaping reality, but it can also be said to be seeing another life that you expect in your heart. Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, who knows whether I am a butterfly or me.
It's very beautiful, the writing is great, and the writing is very realistic. I like this kind of writing very much. No matter how hard a woman tries, she can't overcome the phenomenon of men being superior to women at that time. Even if she is the emperor, she can't change it. The conflict between the male protagonist is also very well written. He wants to love but not dare to love, and it is painful and entangled. I feel that be is the best ending of this book. The ending of be is so well written🥹. I want to praise it for its good writing!!! It's a very short article, and indeed short articles are the best written.
It's beautiful, very interesting, and very practical. When a woman becomes an emperor, she will receive so much disapproval. She can't be idealistic every time. Just because of her gender, it's hard to imagine that this was actually a work four years ago. The hardships she has experienced since she ascended the throne made me very worried. Although she is the emperor, she has many options. Even if she takes the Zen position, she has to find a boy. The book says that this makes everyone "relieve". It is very sad and true. She is the real emperor, regardless of gender or age. Yun Yuan, you did a great job; as for relationships, the male protagonist is very good, and it's good to have two endings. I personally prefer BE. In my heart, an emperor should sit alone on a high platform above thousands of people, and should be lonely. As for relationships, he is always the second choice.
The author's writing style is very good, and many scenes in it are very graphic. The relationship between Yun Yuan and Du Weisheng was described very delicately, and I was so heartbroken at the end that I almost cried. When I saw that the author wrote the article in 2020, I once again sighed that the author's idea of female supremacy is very in line with me and is very advanced. It is related to reality and is not a purely refreshing article. The portrayals of Fu Zhangqiu and other female officials are also very good, I love them. (If this article can appear on Begonia... Hehehehe)
