    Um, while this book has many couples, aside from the main couple and the villain's romantic history (which is heterosexual), all other couples are BL. The emotions are all incredibly genuine, a pure kind of love that even those unfamiliar with such relationships can enjoy. Can anyone accept this? It's really good. Oh, and there's a character who initially falls for the villain's sweetheart, then later falls for the villain himself. But it's genuinely not annoying [crying][kissing emoji]. This story is incredibly realistic. It has a happy ending, but I found it somewhat tragic. Faith crumbles and cannot be restored. Wounds cannot be healed. But the overall writing style is incredibly lighthearted; you'll find it hilarious, and you only really get that feeling if you think about it carefully. It's light and cheerful overall, perfect for reading while eating [kissing emoji].

Synopsis: [Strong female lead + satisfying read + face-slapping + multiple couples + happy ending] "In my life, from a naive young girl to an old woman with wrinkled skin, I've had thirteen husbands. This doesn't include the one I admired... Yes, and that man who never wanted a title. I am the first female emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty. It's difficult for a man to be emperor, but even more difficult for a woman. But I'm not afraid. What I fear are those men who once considered themselves superior. They feared I would value women; they feared I would take away their high positions, wealth, and glory... Yet they had no choice but to respect me, because I held everything in my hands and could control their fate." You ask me? Of these thirteen men, who did I love the most? I am the emperor, the master of this Great Sheng realm. I see no man, nor do I hold any man in my heart. If I must choose one, then it is him... Who is he? You will understand once you walk this path with me. --Empress Guan Li
