[Strong female lead + romance + political intrigue + villainous heroine]
Zhao Yu was born in the arms of the founding Emperor Taizu of the Great Qi. Wrapped in the imperial robe and held with the Imperial Seal tucked against her, she sat on the throne in Taizu’s arms, and he raised her himself.
Zhao Yu is the most favored princess in Great Qi, the only one granted a fief, and the first to be titled Grand Princess. She is the empire’s brightest jewel. Three years after marrying the prince consort she loves, she discovers that he kept a mistress before their wedding and had her lavishly provided for. Enraged, Zhao Yu kills him.
Once Zhao Yu breaks free from the whirlpool of love, she begins to see the world differently. The princes scheme against one another, and factions begin to emerge at court. Her elder brother, the crown prince, seems secure in his position, but hidden dangers lurk beneath the surface. Zhao Yu begins to seize power, helping her own elder brother, who has always loved her, secure his position as crown prince. Yet the heady influence of power awakens ambitions she should never have had.
If Father can sit on the throne, and my brother can sit on it, why can’t I?
Watch Zhao Yu kill her father and brother, and follow her transformation from a princess lost in love into a ruthless and formidable empress.
Note: The heroine is an absolute monarch in the traditional sense, not a good person by modern standards. She becomes ruthless, merciless, and domineering later in the story. The male lead (if he even counts as one) exits the story early and does not come back. Read with caution if that’s not for you.
Although I haven't read a lot, I think this subject matter is very good. I have a small idea. It can be free of CP, but it does not necessarily mean that there are no men at all. Men are as fun as clothes.
It looked okay, but when I saw the story about killing her father and brother in the novel, I thought the heroine was in a cold-blooded royal plot, but in the current plot, the heroine's father and brother are very kind to her.
I have seen 159 so far. The heroine has finally stood up. Alas, I feel that her brother will turn against her and the heroine must ascend to the throne.
It's very beautiful, the subject matter is novel
It's very nice, but the title is quite boring...
At first it seemed that the heroine still had feelings for her husband-in-law, and she thought he would let him go, but she didn't expect that she would kill him decisively later! Decisive!
It is undoubtedly a rare masterpiece in Tomato. The joy, anger, sorrow and joy are vividly displayed on the paper, and the joys and sorrows are still present.
