It's nice to watch. In the early stage, some people may think that the heroine is irritable and talks indiscriminately. However, the heroine spent her life in modern times and returned to the decadent and restrained Qing Dynasty. I think it is normal to be upset. If it were me, I might want to die to see if I can return to modern times.
The front is really average, the heroine purely hates the warriors, and is always irritable, but the pattern opens up in the back, and although the heroine's son is a time traveler, he is not the same old Qin Shihuang, Tang Taizong or the like. The son is really good and loves his mother very much. He is not like the kind of old emperor who is always afraid of his relatives. The heroine's mentality is much calmer after sitting in a high position, but the good thing about the heroine is that she is really unyielding. She will take revenge on anyone who messes with her, and she will not let herself go. She was wronged, and the palace fights were not cliched. Unlike the palace fights I had seen before, they were all cliche. The Mongolian noblewoman had a straightforward and courageous character, and she had a strong sense of being. She was not the stereotype. The noblewoman of aristocratic families also had arrogance. Arrogant and scheming, in fact, I think the most suitable person to be the queen is Xiao Zhao, who has the magnanimity of a queen. The cuter one is Li Shi, the daughter of her father. She is narcissistic, but loves her family, and her family did not let her down, and she finally left the palace successfully. Cousin Tong is really sober. She knows who to hate and no matter who the emperor or the queen is, she should receive retribution. And little Hesheli, she really managed to be very good to the third prince while not letting down her sterilized self. The characters in this novel are well created, and the images of women fighting for power are very charming. I think it's a good read.
There are no surprises yet. This is the first time I see a heroine who attacks children, but I have to say that to survive in a harem, you really can't be merciful because other women also prey on children. I think it's quite touching. I will continue to persevere and I am curious about who the heroine's son is? When will the secret be revealed?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't get enough. It's really well written!!! The heroine knows what she wants, has a clear goal, and strikes quickly. There is no conspiracy that drags on for many chapters to describe a messy and incomprehensible plot. Her strike is really accurate and steady and kills with one blow. There is no such thing as a holy mother's heart saying not to harm innocent children. Reading novels is just for fun. I really recommend it. It's fast-paced but not complicated. It's great. I hope it can be updated more often without interruption.
It's pretty good. The heroine is scheming, not a virgin. Unlike other heroines in the Qing Dynasty novels, she only fights back when others harm her. I like this kind of heroine who is scheming and plans for herself in advance by knowing the advantages of the future.
This book has a very low rating. To be honest, I feel that after more than 200 chapters, the Queen Mother is in power. It is very exciting!!!!!!!!!! Kangxi should go like this. Many novels are written by Gong Du. She couldn't pity Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, etc. The heroine was ruthless and rational, and she didn't put all her hopes on her son. After Kangxi drugged him, he deliberately tested it, but I have to praise this son. It was true that when Kangxi decreed that he would be buried in sacrifice, he directly drew his sword and chopped down the eunuch who announced the decree!!!!!
It's really good-looking, and one of the few Gong Douwen I've read on this platform. This is a palace fight. I had originally skipped this book several times because of its title, thinking it was Mary Sue's only favorite. I accidentally saw a review from a book friend, and then I read the introduction and immediately opened it to read while eating and sleeping. The heroine's character is really good, resolute, courageous and resourceful. For me, after reading too many Kangxi Qing Dynasty articles, this one is like a breath of fresh air. After a few days when I have almost forgotten the content, I will read it again.
It's very interesting to watch. The protagonist has always had an above-average IQ, is brave, resourceful, and decisive in killing. The protagonist's son didn't seem to be a bit of a mama's boy in the early stage, but in the later stage he became a mama's boy after he ascended the throne, directly letting the protagonist take power, and he retreated behind the scenes.
The heroine of this book is the most ruthless heroine I have ever read in a Qing Dynasty novel. Other heroines generally follow the trend, or passively fight back, or take precautions in advance, or stop there. If they want to do something bad, they usually have to struggle internally. This heroine is not like that. Everyone who attacks her is killed as quickly as possible. She has no burden on children. She is a very magnanimous mother who pays her debts to her children. She often takes the initiative. Except for her own son, the others either died young or have various flaws. Her methods are sophisticated and silky smooth. It gives me the feeling that even if I am Kangxi, it is difficult to find out. I quite like this kind of character. She is cold, decisive and ambitious. She has the feeling of a heroine, which is very refreshing.
The early stage is more realistic, the mid-term content is a bit boring, and the later stage is more idealistic, but overall it is good and the flaws are not hidden. The heroine's usual attitude towards life is very consistent with palace life, and she will eradicate anyone who hinders her own interests. Only such a person can carve out a bloody path in the harem of feudal society! I have long seen enough stories about heroines who only passively defend themselves. When someone plots against them, they only rely on their "smartness" to save themselves from danger. They never take the initiative to attack, and their counterattacks are too weak. They do not remove the root of the problem, and they are particular about not touching children. I can only say that we should not forcefully apply modern ethics to feudal society. This book is very good
