Good I hope the ending is that the female lead loves the Yellow Emperor, but kills him and then uses her son as a target to seize power while she becomes regent. Anyway, in female-oriented fiction, there are plenty of stories like "I only loved you after you died." Lots of stories feature the female lead dying, leaving the male lead heartbroken and relegated to a lonely life as an emperor.
That's great! I was wondering how the female lead would deal with the male lead, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless as to slay the dragon. Because the female lead was too weak in the early stages, it's good that she kept growing stronger later on, so this design makes sense. The moment the male lead died was the most satisfying moment in the whole book. It was worth staying up all night to finish it (although the female lead was really too frustrated in the early stages).
(Contains spoilers) This book has a powerful aftertaste. Just when everything was thriving and flourishing, it suddenly took a sharp turn. Countless moments when I, like the female protagonist, felt "this man is different" turned into "all men are the same."
My favorite palace intrigue novel I've ever read; the two strong leads were so satisfying to read. Even if the ending included both of them ruling as regents, there was no way the male lead had to die. Why did he have to die? The female lead clearly had feelings for him too; I'd much rather see a happy ending.
I read the whole book in one go! The writing is excellent, and the plot is quite profound. The novel reads like a romantic drama, yet is sometimes terrifyingly realistic. When the female lead reveals her ambition, the male lead, for the sake of his own chance to personally lead an army, tolerates her ambition and elevates her to power, allowing her to fully demonstrate her abilities and…
It's a great read. The author's writing is excellent. Even though Zhao Zhao was captivated by the emperor's favor, she eventually came to her senses. Some people say that Zhao Zhao, as the female lead, is too repressed. I just want to say that this isn't a wish-fulfillment story. Moreover, in the era the author created, including both ancient and modern times, most men look down on women.
The author's writing is absolutely fantastic! I really enjoyed reading it. I started reading at midnight and didn't go to sleep until 6 AM, finishing the entire book. It's incredibly good; the author's writing is so delicate and immersive. My tears flowed freely! Please update soon, author! Mua~
It was good, but why did it stop there? I felt the later parts were the really good part; it felt like a rushed ending, I'm so angry! 🙂🙂
So good!!! I love it!!! The female lead climbs the ranks step by step, from a court lady to a beauty, then to a concubine, and finally to a high-ranking consort. She uses her cunning to gradually win the emperor's heart, transforming his initial coldness into a vibrant, lifeless state whenever he sees her. These subtle details are captivating and incredibly well-done.
I was so heartbroken after watching the ending 😢 The female lead grew throughout the story, but the male lead's character never really changed. Even though he loved her and was willing to risk his life to save her, he couldn't understand her thoughts and desires, and he was unwilling to give her power.
