Looking for books similar to The Empress. This book isn't as full of dramatic twists and turns as Empresses in the Palace, but it has the same gently unfolding everyday life as The Story of Minglan. It isn't as sorrowful and bittersweet as Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, but it shares The Story of Minglan's wisdom about women. Although it takes place in the imperial harem,

What can I say? I feel that the impression given by the introduction to me is "in the treacherous harem, the heroine is determined to fall in love. She uses her body as a chess and the harem as a board. The collision of everyone's scheming and courage, a particularly exciting growth line." Because the setting is based on the heroine who has been very good in the past and present life, a lot of chances of making mistakes are omitted to a certain extent. The heroine has a good setting. In addition, the writing style is also good, and it is considered top-notch in Tomato. Mainly, I think it should be more about the main plot surrounding the heroine, rather than writing too many sub-plots. There are three lines in the harem story: the emotional line, the palace fight line, and the career line. The first thirty chapters are good, but the latter ones are really group portraits (should be added indirectly). Before Deng Cairen appears, it seems to be to develop the emotional line of the heroine. Later, the part about Deng Cairen's stand-in was suddenly explained, and then it continued to unfold. It felt that apart from introducing the queen's background, the emperor and the empress had no interaction before. The same goes for the Queen, who looks like a kind and indifferent persona, which is completely different from the nostalgia mixed with hatred later on. Therefore, this twist is very blunt, as if it was changed after writing it halfway. It feels like the original setting of the emperor has Bai Yueguang, who he cannot love, but it was temporarily changed to the queen in order to extend the plot. Then the current main emotional line is that of the empress, and the secondary line is that of the heroine. It may be that I want to write the emperor's complete emotional line, highlight his ruthlessness, and also correspond to the last sentence of the introduction. When he was the empress, every time the emperor said that he was very affectionate for the queen, how high the queen's status in her heart was, and the actual actions I have never been on her side [face covering] There is no need to emphasize the queen's status in the emperor's heart. Emphasizing it multiple times is a bit too strong (knowing that writing like this highlights the emperor's ruthlessness). Using practical actions to show the harem's love and respect for his legitimate wife is a hundred times better than the emotional connotation of letting her give birth to a child. Secondly, I feel that the novel is written around the emperor, not the heroine, because the career line is also written from his perspective, and the layout is written to suppress the tendency of the aristocratic family (this is a historical trend), rather than how the heroine finds ways to gradually bring the family to safety. The focus should be on the heroine's layout. I have not seen this prototype yet. Many times, she is placed between the emperor and the empress as a tool-like fire extinguisher. From the perspective of the heroine, the good deeds she has done have exceeded the boundaries of her personality and have brought her some trouble and viewers. Of course, a gentleman's deeds do not matter. The palace battle line is intertwined with the career line of the previous dynasty, and it is also a harem group portrait. The focus is not even on the heroine. Fortunately, in this latest update, the heroine has begun to eradicate the mole. I also hope that the heroine's career line and the palace battle line will be updated more. It is best to link up inside and outside the palace, with the heroine's story as the center, and write some entry points or butterfly effects of events from various angles (at this time, the stories of various supporting characters can unfold)
The heroine who doesn't have a love brain is not stupid when she writes a palace battle plot. And I finally saw that the emperor was not someone who fell in and out of love casually. Although sometimes the plot is a bit draggy, the flaws are not outweighed. This article should not have scored more than 7 points! Come on, write more, it's equal [crying][crying][crying] The more I write, the better I get. Seven points is enough for this article.
Wonderfully written! Except for the heroine Cui Xiu, the characters and positions of the others are also very distinct, and the supporting roles are vivid. The queen, the noble concubine, the wise concubine, the concubine Shu, Feng Langzhi, Xie Wanping... Everyone has their own experiences and ideas. There is no brainless struggle, and the camp establishment is reasonable. Good reviews!
The writing is good, there are foreshadowings between the palace battles, the succession and transition are very exciting, but it is a bit frustrating to watch. It's really frustrating.. The heroine has to endure everything. The emperor and the empress are the true love. She only loves the heroine. She is left out in the cold when there is a conflict of interest. And after giving birth, she was thankful that "it's a good thing she's not a delivery person." It's very devoid of subjectivity. I gave up halfway through reading it.
Overall, it looks pretty good. I just hope that the emperor will stop thinking and not take away the heroine's child and give it to the queen to raise.
It is a more realistic Gong Dou Wen. The male protagonist does not easily fall in love with the female protagonist. The heroine's character is very attractive and light, very calm and very smart. What attracts me most is the friendship between the heroine, the concubine Shu and the queen, and Fu Chongrong who suddenly wakes up later. I am attracted by the friendship between girls and the harmonious atmosphere of the prince and princess warms my heart. I like it very much.
I read more than 300 chapters. It's a good read, not a mindless read. I read the reviews first and almost stopped reading when I saw the bad reviews. After reading it, I feel that I don't need to be affected by the bad reviews. The heroine has a plan. Although she is smart, she also has kind thoughts. Her behavior also depends on her character and the situation. Although she has helped other concubines, not everyone will help. Moreover, in the article, the Queen Shufei and several other concubines gradually become a group and help each other. They are not all female rivals. However, I don't like the emperor very much [smile]. Although all emperors are like this, it does not stop me from hating him.
Very nice! ! ! I haven't been able to read novels for a long time after working. This book is great. The heroine is very understanding and has a mutually supportive relationship. She gives enough support and there is no one holding me back. The only bad thing is that it's not over yet, I'm so sad [crying][crying][crying][crying] Author, please write
The author's writing is so beautiful [crying] I usually don't like serialized novels at all, but I followed this one [admired] Keep up the good work! [Sending Hearts] It would be better if it is a hot update, hehe [Chigua] [Chigua]
It's good-looking. The heroine is not in love and has a clear head. Moreover, her family does not hold her back and they trust her very much. It's running out of steam, now one chapter is added every day, and the plot progress is too slow. In fact, it should have been withdrawn when the cousin was offline, but I still saw the back, where it was written that the eldest prince was preparing to marry a concubine, but there was still no progress in the plot, and I kept writing about Che Luan. If you are not a literary fan, I suggest you save up and read it again.
