Becoming Empress

An early work. The writing is rough and the values are messed up. I'm not being modest, it's the truth! I was young back then, and my values hadn't taken shape yet. I was heavily influenced by all kinds of ridiculous fiction, and my ideas and values were truly outrageous (the sort that make me want to give myself eight hundred one-star reviews). Honestly, I don't know how I managed to write this. Now, everything in it bothers me, but I don't know where to start revising. If you came here from my profile, please don't click on it (throws a tantrum, rolls around, and begs on my knees). (No romance between the male and female leads, just pure sibling affection. The siblings face the world together, then go their separate ways when it comes to love. No incest! No incest! No incest! It's tagged as romance because the female lead keeps male lovers and the male lead has concubines. They're called the male and female leads because they get the most screen time! Say no to incest, starting with you and me!) Theme:
