Synopsis

(Power! It's a woman's second face! She loves it!)

(1V2 + advancing the nation through technology + two men competing for her, only to end up regretting it)

Lu Jichen:

He is an ill-omened man. On the day his elder brother got married, they smeared dog blood all over his face and locked him in a cellar.

Later, she brought him out, washed his hands, let him sit at the table, fed him, and paid for his education.

Wei Chiyuan:

He is the young lord of an aristocratic clan; she is a young widow.

One schemes every which way to attach herself to him, while the other is haughty and aloof. But by a twist of fate, he still gives her the chance to do so.

When they are deeply in love, he helps her tutor her younger brother-in-law, newly embarked on an official career, and willingly paves the way for her business ventures. Yet he can never understand why she eventually betrays him.

The year Lin Zhinian's husband died, she accepted her elder sister's silver and went down the same path as in her previous life.

She sometimes thinks of Wei Chiyuan, but that's all it is: a passing thought.

Later, her younger brother-in-law, Lu Jichen, gains power over the court and inherits responsibilities for both branches of the family. More and more people around her kneel.

But the husband who has been dead for over a decade returns with a child and a woman.

For a long time, Lin Zhinian can't remember who this man is. Did he change his name? “Jingyang.”

Jingyang? That name... why does it sound familiar?

Wasn't it the name of someone in the fragment of an ancient text she acquired? It said his younger brother died young, and that he was the only son of the current empress, switched at birth after she gave birth prematurely! Unfortunately, by the time the truth came out, he was already dead.

A coincidence? Probably not.

Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots

Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels.

Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

It's great. Nothing more to say, the characters are all vivid and well-developed, the language is quite fluent, and the story as a whole is excellent and worth savoring. The plot is essentially old wine in new bottles, blending familiar tropes like the "switching of the crown prince" and "swapping husbands," but the author has a knack for making it captivating.

It's a good watch, but some of the language feels pretentious, using archaic language to embellish a simple story. Also, since it's a female-centric story, the female lead should be in control, not the other men who can interfere despite the apparent female lead's dominance. This novel is incredibly messy.

Overall, it's pretty good. However, in the early chapters, the author kept talking about how amazing the female lead was, but there weren't any concrete examples to show it. Also, there wasn't much character development. The description of the female lead's beauty was more focused on her intelligence than her abilities.

First of all, the premise was great; the first few chapters were particularly captivating. The male and female leads already had a child and seemed very close. Just as I was getting into it, things took a sharp turn. I initially thought the male lead was the kind of yandere type, and that the back-and-forth with the female lead would be very engaging. But that wasn't the case at all.

So far, Xu Zheng is more captivating to me than the male and female leads. I wonder what Xu Zheng's fate was in his previous life as Empress Lu Er? I really want to know! I hope the author updates more often; I'm curious about Xu Zheng's surprise and joy upon discovering that Lu Er is his child. 😂

It's good. The character design is somewhat similar to that of the princess. I especially enjoyed the romance; I skimmed through the rest. I never liked studying history in school 😂 Even after graduating so long ago, I haven't changed. I hope the author will write a pure Mary Sue novel someday so I can indulge myself, haha.

Actually, it's not bad. The plot twists and turns are good, and the author writes well any romantic storylines (excluding romantic relationships). The author cleverly utilizes these two strengths and does so exceptionally well. However, despite the female protagonist's ambition to become an empress, I see absolutely no description of her achievements or the political and economic measures she…

The sense of moral depravity is overwhelming. I read this because of this; I initially thought it would be just a typical sweet romance novel. The female lead is amazing—that's what a strong woman should be like! It's very satisfying to read. This book breaks away from the female-centric competition; several women are all number one in their own right.

Who understands? 😢 Two days! In just two days I finally got my hands on that shit-yellow button, my heart is already broken. But this book is seriously worth five stars, it's so good! The female lead is sweet with everyone, what should I do, I'll just have to buy them all! 🥺

It's a female-centric, feel-good novel, and overall it's enjoyable. The initial setup is quite impressive, but in the end, it's still primarily a romance novel with minimal political intrigue. Aside from the female lead having romance while pursuing her career, everyone else is focused on their love life. 😅
