Synopsis

[No rivalry between women + punishing scumbags + satisfying revenge + unconventional heroine undergoing tribulations + ensemble cast + strong female lead]

Content warning: The heroine is not a qualified heir to the Celestial Court from the start. She faces trials and setbacks, yet steadily strives for the highest position. This is not a mindless power fantasy. Also, she is not the kind of character who gives her whole heart to one person. She may have lovers, but none will ever have her completely.

The eldest daughter of the Celestial Emperor, the Red Lotus Grand Princess Yun Lian, descends to the mortal realm to undergo a tribulation. She gets the worst possible start: she's a neglected wife, an “outside woman” whose value has been drained, then erased from the family register as her husband demotes her from wife to concubine… Her tribulation adviser says excitedly, “That's right, just like that! Suffer physically and emotionally, and harbor no regrets. Then you'll ascend to godhood!” Later, the adviser cries, “Princess, you're supposed to be following a tragic romance plot, not slapping faces, punishing scumbags, and making a comeback!”

Yun Lian, the Celestial Court's most relentless overachiever, has failed her romantic tribulations six times. Not because some scumbag betrayed her, but because every time, she refused to follow the script. Even the tribulation clouds couldn't keep up with her speed of promotion.

At long last, she ascends to godhood, only for her soul fragments to “rebel” en masse: one runs off to the East Sea to become a Dragon Queen, while another demands independence. Just as she's about to become the Celestial Court's CEO, her father, the Celestial Emperor, suddenly disappears. The Demon Emperor's army is massing at the borders, while a bunch of idle immortals inside the court wait to laugh at her.

With the Core of Chaos in hand, Yun Lian stands before the Throne of the Nine Heavens and decides to flip the table first. The black market for spiritual roots, the privileges of immortal nobility, the Celestial Court's bureaucratic malaise: she won't let any of it slide.

This is a tale of career advancement in the Celestial Court, where even immortals can't escape the rat race.

Please Recommend a Truly Strong Female Lead

So many novels these days dress themselves up as stories about strong women, but the female lead still ends up relying on a man. She starts off handling things herself for a few chapters, then meets a man even more powerful than the original male lead, and after that it's all kisses, cuddles, and being pampered. Quick transmigration stories do it too. I'm sick of it.

As a fantasy romance, it combines elements of Xianxia (tribulations, soul division, and the laws of heaven) with power struggles in the mortal realm, blending the two seamlessly without feeling disjointed. The scene where Yun Lian finally remembers to find a partner for her tribulation is also quite interesting, foreshadowing later developments.

The exciting point of this heroine is very real. Yun Ling relies on her own strategy and courage to reach the top step by step, not relying on golden fingers to crush her. The process has twists and turns but is reasonable. For example, when she handles water transportation and puts down rebellions, the character's wisdom can be seen. In addition, the tribulation consultant's comments ease the seriousness, and the overall impression is very good.

I love Yun Lian's personality; she's not coy or love-obsessed, and her only goal is to become the Heavenly Emperor. The process of her rising from a neglected wife to an empress is logically sound, and her revenge against the villains is swift and efficient. Especially the scene where she only realizes at 60 that she's here to undergo a love tribulation is both funny and fits her character perfectly, making it feel very real.

The writing style is quite natural, without piling up fancy words, yet it manages to capture the contrast of Yun Lian's transformation from a gentle lady to an empress. The scenes of court confrontations and private schemes are also vividly portrayed, making the reader feel very immersed.

Holy crap, I haven't seen this kind of intricately linked plot in ages. The characters and storyline are all connected; towards the end, all I could think was "Wow!" I couldn't help but think that. I love this kind of storyline so much! However, those who prefer female leads shouldn't watch too deeply, as the split soul with one or two independent wills can be a bit unsettling, and the emotions change very quickly. The five stars are for the interconnectedness.
