   In the Phoenix Wing Palace of the Yun Zhao Dynasty, the magnificent and opulent palaces seemed heavy and imposing at this moment. The nine-tiered palace, where court was held, was crowded with civil and military officials, along with a young emperor with a serious and nervous expression. The Empress Dowager, dressed in a magnificent dark-colored court robe embroidered with a golden phoenix about to take flight, wore a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin with a black pearl hanging between her brows, making her appear dignified and imposing. Liu Yun lowered her eyelids, her face expressionless: "Grand Tutor Jiang, what did you just say? Say it again." Get to the point! These ministers and emperors weren't letting them sleep early in the morning, how ridiculous! Their speech was convoluted and pedantic; they simply couldn't understand her. Was it her fault? The officials exchanged glances, thinking that the Empress Dowager was being stern and unwilling to accept reality, using a feigned retreat to warn them to think carefully before speaking. Grand Tutor Jiang glanced at the young emperor beside the Empress Dowager, who was nervously fastening the jade pendant at his waist. Everyone knew that the crucial moment had arrived; success or failure depended on this. Fortunately, he wasn't afraid of this woman: "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, the Emperor has grown up and is capable of handling state affairs independently. Your Majesty the Empress Dowager has been unwell and needs rest; it is not appropriate for you to continue assisting the Emperor in handling state affairs. Perhaps... The Emperor should rule in his own right!" The moment the words "rule in his own right" were uttered, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes fixed intently on the Empress Dowager, completely disregarding etiquette. Previously, his words had been too subtle, and the Empress Dowager had pretended not to understand. This time, Grand Tutor Jiang had made himself clear enough! The civil and military officials present tacitly exerted pressure on the Empress Dowager with their eyes, ready to retort with a sharp rebuttal to her refusal.

    The female protagonist of this book is an extremely lazy and unambitious girl named Xianyu. The male protagonist, Sui Yu, dotes on her immensely; it's practically boundless. She'll never stand up if she can lie down. He's also a bit of a yandere (obsessive and possessive persona), and he gradually teaches her what love is. He does everything personally for her. It has a small modern setting with a cultivation element to bridge the gaps in the story, but the female protagonist isn't a powerful figure; she's genuinely just a lazy, useless girl. The current rating is a bit low, but overall I found it okay and have the desire to continue reading. I hope my recommendation helps you.
