The heroine's father or family should be a powerful minister, feared by the emperor. I don't care whether he's a loyal minister or a treacherous one.

And a powerful minister's daughter should act like one: skilled at plotting for power and wielding it.

A rare political novel featuring a female protagonist who doesn't exhibit overtly feminine perspectives.
I don't know if you've read the neighboring novel "Chang Chang Shi" (长长视), but in terms of plot alone, it's a limited imitation of "Chang Chang Shi." However, "Chang Chang Shi" is an older work with over six million words, something that can't be caught up to in a year or two. A limited system largely prevents the plot from collapsing, which is helpful for troubleshooting. Overall: It's worth reading, but I suggest skimming through it.
I'm puzzled by how this seventeenth emperor was calculated. Even with the addition of Emperor Xingzong (Zhu Qiyu), given the Empress's ability to effectively suppress the civil officials, after the young Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne, the historical events of the Three Yangs (Yang Xizhi, Yang Jian, and Yang Chong)—such as limiting daily court meetings to a maximum of eight items, halting…
It's a farming and development novel told from a female protagonist's perspective. It's pretty good, and the author's writing is also quite good. Those who like the Ming Dynasty and the concept of step-by-step scheming should definitely read it. The premise is also quite good; there are no romantic entanglements typical of female-oriented novels, just pure court politics.
I've only seen the Zhu Di episode so far, and I feel the rating is a bit low, so I'll give it a rating to show my support. The female protagonist is immortal, reaching her peak upon entering the court during the Hongwu era, and subsequently assisting successive emperors in leading the Ming Dynasty to its zenith. Currently, it seems to follow the historical trajectory without major alterations.
It's incredibly good! The female lead is extremely intelligent and calm in the face of adversity. She's an immortal being who has protected the Ming Dynasty for generations of emperors; with her around, she's the pillar of stability for each ruler. The author's writing is excellent, focusing entirely on the female lead's career, and the writing flows smoothly.
It's a good read. I've read many novels set in the Hongwu era, but this is the first one where the protagonist is a girl with a special aura. It's very interestingly written. It would be even better if the protagonist were a bit bolder. I love watching the female lead confront the Hongwu Emperor and let him gloat! 😄
I skipped around while reading. At first, the title seemed interesting, so I started reading. But after seeing the comments on the first and second pages, it seemed that although this was a novel about immortality, it was no different from Li Qing's story – no big deal. Nothing changed. What's the difference between this guy and before? Absolutely no change.
I'm having a reading slump lately. Although it's a female-oriented novel, the writing is alright. There are some illogical parts, though. It's okay if you don't think too much about it. Some historical inaccuracies are understandable. Although it's a bit frustrating at times, it's bearable. At least it doesn't involve getting married like in other mindless female-oriented novels.
The content is great, it's really good even without a romantic pairing... *^_^* After reading for several days, I finally finished it! (*´I`*) I hope there will be more chapters!
