Nine out of ten emperors are jerks, and the last one is a total oddball.
Fiercely devoted emperors are few and far between in history. Most were heartless and unfaithful. Even if Xuanling had been replaced by someone else in Empresses in the Palace, the story still wouldn't have become a sweet romance. As long as there is an emperor, it can't.
I don't like Yixiu. Her own tragedy doesn't hide the fact that she was ruthless enough to kill. Even without Chun Yuan, my story has its own empress. In this world, love alone can't solve everything. I don't like Huafei either, but I won't deliberately hurt her. As for Rouze, Chun Yuan's portrayal was too contrived. She has her own unique gentleness and vulnerability, and she won't enter the palace. As for Zhen Huan, Meizhuang, and Lingrong, changing the emperor is like changing the woman who holds his heart. The golden finger and setbacks should be distributed fairly. That's what life in a story should be.
