Everyone in the imperial palace thinks the current emperor is a little “sick.”
The ruler pretends to be ill and weak, devoting himself to clinging to his blind empress and getting so jealous that he rejects every memorial.
Empress Xiao Yunjin says: “It's fine, I'm sick too. I'm just professionally pretending to be blind and watching the show live.”
A consort spreads gossip? She heard it, and in three days she'll have the whole matter dealt with. The emperor plays mind games? She acts obedient on the surface while inwardly grumbling that he's sending another easy target her way.
And there's an even bigger “surprise” outside the palace:
The younger sister everyone says has been bedridden and housebound for years is no fragile young lady!
She wears armor and hides her face behind a mask, driving the enemy into a panicked retreat at the border. Her one weakness: she's hopeless at everyday life, and thinks dating is a way to scam the army out of its pay.
The regent is cold and ruthless to outsiders, but turns into a lovesick fool in private. He burns down the kitchen, writes love letters, and embarrasses himself in public just to win someone over. The new female physician at the Imperial Medical Bureau has ideas of her own and spends every day arguing with the swindling national preceptor. Neither will yield.
A group of eccentric people, each hiding secrets, gets caught up in a whirlpool of political intrigue.
Everyday laughter never stops, while murderous schemes lurk in the shadows.
The blind empress plays the star, the war goddess masquerades as a frail girl, and the lovesick emperor, romantic court official, and bickering pair all make their entrance.
All seems peaceful on the surface, but danger lurks at every turn.
Prepare to laugh until you cry, then weep over the heartbreak. The grand political drama begins now!
The content is very interesting. I hope the author will add 20,000 words a day.
I like the heroine's character, she has a bit of humor
