   It's good, not bad. The ending, where the heir kills a man, shows great determination. I'm also satisfied with the setting that only women are heirs. However, I was dissatisfied and disappointed with the later forums. Why was there only one female emperor in that one dynasty, and the subsequent new dynasties all followed the same old path, becoming male-dominated? And the situation didn't improve at all in later generations. There were even women who thought the female protagonist was too extreme! I thought that after this female emperor was overthrown, the new dynasties would also have female emperors who ruthlessly suppressed men… A few hundred years of female emperors, what about a thousand years of male emperors… The author still doesn't dare to imagine it. I really hope that future generations will have gender equality. Women holding power are higher than men, and then women say it's because these men are too well-fed? The early and middle parts were well-written, but the ending was so bad that the female lead didn't realize she'd been poisoned until she was caught in the trap. Dealing with the court required her to feign infidelity with a man in the harem. After several chapters, I thought, "Shouldn't the plot twist be more satisfying?" They did manage a counterattack, but then it suddenly ended at ten times the speed after the counterattack [melted]. It ended too quickly! I felt like the plot had only developed to the middle... And the author just ended it all. It's like they didn't want to write anymore and just released the outline. The later development of the women's academy and the appointment of female officials weren't explained in detail. The replacement of so many talented people with female officials after the implementation of national policies wasn't explained either. The point where Zhao Zhao won a battle and could reveal her female identity to the outside world, encouraging women to join the army, and then expanding the territory, wasn't explained in detail either [crying]. The female lead had just cleared away obstacles in the court and could finally develop her martial arts skills. I thought the plot was about to enter a high-speed development phase, a satisfying climax, but then you told me it suddenly ended...

   It's great! The female lead is a cross-dressing political animal who's not a good person, but she's intelligent. The male lead is also unpredictable (we don't know who the male lead is yet). The romance isn't important. There are no major flaws. The portrayal of men is quite realistic and demystifies them (none of the men I dislike so far are the male lead, which is great! I hate those pretentious men who get into the group).

   2.5 Stars, see the second part: Editor's Note: It's good, but some wording could be changed, such as using "" (dǎo niáng, meaning "trader") instead of "" (nǚ dǎo yé, meaning "female tout"). Currently, the female lead is capable of violence and can be ruthless, which is satisfying. I also enjoyed the storyline about the female lead manipulating men's feelings (because it's not about pleasing them, but about taming them; it's not about clinging to just one man, but multiple men. The men aren't really annoying either; they're innocent, devoted, and kind. The only annoying one, the scheming one, has broken up with her, which I found quite satisfying). The part about sheltering students looks a bit disheartening. Second comment: Upstairs, you're saying that every time the female lead, or most of the time, is hurt, it's always the men who come to her rescue, offering help and sharing the spotlight. When the female lead is injured, the male lead uses his power/henchmen/force to come to her rescue, deterring corrupt cops, politicians, thieves, robbers, etc., Who are causing her trouble. Even Xie's previous highlight appearances only happen when the female lead is facing life-threatening situations or at her lowest point; then the male leads step in to clean up the mess, offering help, power, money, etc. It's not that she can't be given anything, but there's a very subtle feeling. It feels like the female lead can't accomplish anything alone; she needs the male leads' money, strength, and power to help her. Otherwise, she would have been driven out of the city long ago, blackmailed and robbed by politicians and corrupt police, and subjected to robbery and murder... The female lead herself is simply incapable of solving many dangerous problems. Regarding the earlier comment that the female lead's risking her life was cool, I don't think so. It just feels like she's forcibly lowering her intelligence to risk her life, even though she could have defeated her opponent without risking her life. If the female lead hadn't risked her life, and if she had used some tricks, I would think she was smart, cool, and ambitious. But she didn't leave any backup plans; she just purely risked her life and succeeded. I don't think she was particularly lucky; I just think it's a cheat code given by the author, and the female lead was aware of it (a forced and far-fetched explanation... To recklessly risk her life without leaving any backup plans until a desperate situation is too simplistic and just a natural consequence of the female lead's plot armor). The title initially said "Female reseller," but later they simply dropped the word "female" altogether and just called it "Reseller." A reverse title change [thumbs up] These details and plot settings really give it a classic feel (the kind where the female lead is strong and the male lead is even stronger, and the assassin's third daughter, Huang XX, transmigrates, half-awake and half-asleep).

   I love the Dihua style, especially the ancient dynasty setting. It's a rare and beloved genre. It's good-looking, and I like the main theme. Unfortunately, the ending epilogue didn't quite satisfy me; I don't like game epilogues. There was nothing to see about the continuation of the Jing Dynasty (only a few lines of historical text), nothing to see about the future generations' admiration for the female lead, and nothing to see whether she was passed on to the throne and ascended to heaven or died in some other way. There were also no reactions from other characters. I want to see the reaction when it's revealed that the female protagonist's daughter was adopted and not her biological child, or if it's not revealed at all (the ministers didn't know, the maids kept quiet, and even the later generations didn't know, so it's impossible to determine from the female protagonist's remains or from the biography left by the maids?

   I like it because I enjoy the unconventional portrayal of an empress, rather than a general or strategist. The writing is excellent, logical, cultured, and strategic; the author has a very refined and scholarly feel to it. With such a powerful advantage, why don't you take the position yourself and instead assist someone else? Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of being discarded after your usefulness is over, or of your power becoming too great and causing others to become wary? If you can control it yourself, why give it to someone else?

And the exiled old man even tests her, saying there's no good in the Lu family. I wonder if she's still alive later on.

    Curator note

    Great! This is a fantastic female-dominated novel, brimming with smut! It's one of the best female-dominated novels I've ever read! The focus isn't on the plot, but on the character development and setup, as well as the descriptions of their emotions and appearances. The depiction of male characters and women in this aspect is something I rarely find appealing; it feels very comfortable and doesn't feel like a simple gender swap. It captures the feeling of a woman, a dashing young man without any masculine sensibility. The appeal of this story lies in the male lead's character development—a seemingly crazy, bookish man who only loves the female lead and the fragrant supporting character. The female lead's character is also good—though she's not described enough; the overall perspective is male lead > female lead. The descriptions of their relationship and affairs, as well as the female lead's vivid descriptions of the male lead's appearance, are also very engaging! Overall, five stars; three stars for specific plot perspectives. There's far too little from the female lead's point of view; much of the focus is on the male lead's power struggles within the household. I didn't want to see so much male infighting; I wanted to see the female lead's career development. And why can't there be a harem?! The male lead is such a slacker! There are so many supporting characters I like, especially that exotic big-breasted girl named A-Wu? I really want to take her in and sleep with her! And the female lead spoils the boy way too much; she definitely prefers the girl. And the female lead's father, in the end, was never dealt with; he remained a troublemaker, enjoying wealth and luxury. Well, the female lead is the head of the family, yet she still has to uphold filial piety. She's completely helpless with her father and also powerless against the extended family who come to freeload. Ah, the female lead's career is actually portrayed in a rather frustrating and unsatisfying way. It's so frustrating, getting entangled with these supporting characters and awful minor villains. They keep jumping around, some even still alive in the finale. It's infuriating.

    Part 1: The Empress, the official love interest Han Xin is annoying, he doesn't deserve the female lead. The novel *Skyfall* is quite good, but it still has a lot of bias towards historical figures and politics. Second part: (The later plot is too idealistic and naive) The show focuses too much on sexual relationships, weakening the female lead's character... Seeing Xiang Yu massacre 100,000 Qin soldiers, and the female lead still manages to recruit them, even bestowing titles and honors upon them. The scene where the female lead, unaware of history, bears the burden of lives that would otherwise have ended in death is particularly disturbing. And when the official pairing was with Han Xin, it was really frustrating. It's not satisfying at all. The main characters are historical figures, and the female lead is just a tool to fulfill their wishes and give them a happy ending. The filter used to portray historical figures is too strong, and it's far too exaggerated.

    Editor 1: I absolutely love it! Such a satisfying read!! The writing is excellent, and the characters are complex. Part Two: The downsides of following a serialized novel (I'm devastated...) It feels like being suddenly fed shit while you're enjoying a perfectly good meal. Chapters 64 and 65 were a major disappointment for me. The romance scenes were incredibly jarring; the female lead suddenly seemed to lose her intelligence, her true identity was revealed, and she was forced into a romantic relationship, with the romance being artificially connected to drive the plot forward. I'm too disgusted to say anything more, I'll just copy and paste the original review: (I posted five or six reviews, I'll just copy one) The current problem with this story is that all the revelations of identities are passive and rushed. The first time, the female lead had a whole bunch of thoughts running through her mind but didn't act, and the villain bled to death. No problem, I can tolerate that. The second time, the identity was revealed passively, before the prince was recognized. It was the male lead, and they definitely wouldn't die; they were even in love. The reason for the passive revelation was that the male lead seduced the female lead. Without physical contact through their clothes, he noticed her lower body was too flat, and men usually have an erection even when there's no movement… Initially, he suspected a hidden ailment, but the female lead denied it, not understanding his denial. Then the male lead thought she was disguised as a man, and they ended up kissing sweetly. (I'm devastated) Was the revelation of her identity too hasty? Female lead, you've already been exposed once while disguised as a man, and you came from the imperial examinations—didn't you know to pad your lower body? 2. Male lead, are you being too omniscient? Is it possible that her calm demeanor is because she's naturally small/erected/not interested in you/doesn't know you/hasn't done it before/hasn't been taught/is naive/is concerned about her image, thus denying or admitting it? How can you immediately conclude that someone is a woman disguised as a man just because they don't admit it's a hidden ailment, without even touching them or peeling back their clothes, and only looking at them through their clothes? It was all too obvious, the reveal was too hasty, the female lead was incredibly stupid, and it felt like she had a god-like perspective. I really… (a million swear words) The plot has serious problems. The original poster has already clicked on this post and is considering dropping it; it's disgusting, especially the plot. That person who's clamoring for a male-oriented content swap, offering writing guidance—it's obviously just trying to incite conflict. I'm trying to shut them up. I'm too lazy to even reply to him or curse him [eye roll]. Am I disgusted because the male lead wasn't killed off? I'm disgusted to death because the reveal of her identity was too hasty! Too early!! The female lead's identity was revealed passively, not actively!! It's because the female lead didn't have power, and because the author forcibly lowered her intelligence for the sake of romance. Of course I know that killing Pei at this time would be difficult; it would require planning. I also know that Pei is the male lead, and he definitely won't die. I'm so frustrated because of the author's plot twist! [Cracking face] It's all about forcing a romance so early on. A hundred or a thousand reasons why Xiao Pei shouldn't be killed can't compare to making the passive revelation of her identity an active one. Change the current revelation to after she's recognized as a prince (the emperor and empress already know she's a woman, and then pave the way for her). If it were changed to after she ascends the throne and takes power, and then actively reveals her identity... I wouldn't have any objection to this at all. [Cracking face]

    The author's column, which is currently being updated, also features two recently published books; they're quite good. If it weren't for the rushed outline and the rushed ending, I would give it five stars. I prefer female-centric stories; there are many female characters, and they are often highlighted (the descriptions of leaders and high-ranking figures are all female, yay!). The author states that the book's setting assumes a 50/50 male-to-female ratio in the high-ranking positions of the elite (in reality, most leaders at the beginning of the extraordinary world were women), and the female protagonist's alter ego has a 4:3 female-to-male ratio. There's been a lot of controversy surrounding the way male characters are introduced. Don't worry, they're all there to introduce important female characters and secure high positions. They're not actually that important; aside from the female lead's alter ego, the best they get are ordinary captains or elite squad members—none of them are as high-ranking as the female characters. There's also a precognitive male character who's doing well; he's a target the female lead uses, and he's later eliminated by the God of Corruption. Regarding gender, the female lead has an older sister, so a sisterly relationship is possible (at least there's no brother-sister relationship). Getting back to the plot, the earlier parts that erase history and return to three thousand years ago are definitely worth reading! It's very well written, incredibly satisfying, and the mastermind behind the scenes has a great sense of strategy. I don't recommend reading beyond the three thousand years ago. The author's outline goes completely off-track, the whole thing drifts and diverges, forcibly trying to make the logic work. Oh, and there's a male omega in the early part... Um, later on, with amnesia and time travel to other timelines, cause and effect, and reincarnation, all the previous efforts are completely erased, the world's course is changed, and most of the earlier plot is wiped out. It also involved time travel to bizarrely connected national destinies. In short, I was completely baffled. Later on, it felt like a completely different story. The alternate characters were developed into independent entities, and the main female character was barely visible or involved. The well-organized behind-the-scenes manipulations from the beginning also completely collapsed. I can honestly say it was a rushed and poorly written ending, without even a side story. Especially the supposedly self-aware Moon and the passing Fallen God of Fate, who were supposed to be there, suddenly disappeared, replaced by the World Tree that didn't want to die. It's like the protagonist waking up to find everything was a dream and he was mentally deranged. I ask you, with such a strong Cthulhu/Outer God/enemy vibe earlier, and the gradual opening of channels and changes in strategy, how did it become a mindless, unintelligent World Tree that created the world and then decayed? What about the Moon? What about the Outer God? What about the Fallen God who invaded the world, causing causal chaos and tripping you up, and then left? No follow-up, no revenge? Later on, you forcibly made them into gods, but the corpses of those gods (the Outer Gods, Fallen Gods, and the gods of the final world are all gods, do they really have that much power?? And why is the god who died at the end so powerful? — He can even resist the World Tree's corruption and form an alliance?) Are all questionable. In short, the later parts completely fell apart; it was a forced attempt to make things work, and it didn't feel right. The later part of the story feels like two stars, while the beginning is four stars. I'll add one star for the sake of the female characters. I can accept the later revelation of the female lead's true identity, because she wasn't being closely monitored and used as a mascot, but rather being prepared to become the legitimate mastermind and the new leader. The scene where the government tries to arrange a marriage for the female lead, only to be met with her questioning and rejection, is particularly brilliant! (If I'm given a partner loyal to the country, and I'd be loyal to the country for that partner, then am I truly loyal to the marriage itself?)

    This is a really satisfying read! The main thing is that the female lead isn't resentful at all. Her witty remarks and social skills are worth learning from. It's a rare modern novel featuring a high-ranking female protagonist.

    It's alright, but towards the end, the plot drags on without any exciting parts. The main storyline revolves around uncovering the secrets of needlework and the Moriarty couple—a recurring theme from beginning to end, which can be tiring to read. The later parts are rather weak; the revelation of the woman's true identity isn't as exciting as I expected, especially the revelation of the woman's disguise as a man, which is abruptly ended in a few sentences in the final chapter, completely missing the climax. Unsatisfied with the extra chapters and ending — rushed conclusion The Phantom's character design is different from other fan art; it's just that this Phantom's character design isn't to my liking. Considering the rarity of the Phantom of the Opera trope, the cross-dressing time travel element, and the lack of major red flags, I'll give it four stars. Based on the overall plot, I'd give it about two stars; considering the writing style, it's three stars. Overall, it was really bland. The plot felt like a long, tedious, and drawn-out saga. By the end, I was exhausted and didn't want to study needlework anymore. I wanted to switch to some other adventure. This book about needlework, with the villainous couple constantly jumping around, didn't leave until the very end.

    (Front row: This is not one of the first two types, but the third type.) It's not a female-centric story, nor does it have any profound or meaningful descriptions; it's just a simple female-centric wish-fulfillment story, but it doesn't contain any offensive or offensive language. Super good!!! A great female empress novel, a satisfying read with a strong female lead throughout, the female lead is the most powerful! No romance-obsessed protagonist, no frustrating moments, the female lead is very smart and capable, the description of her appearance is just right, and she also has fighting skills (I love female leads with science and engineering backgrounds, they fully utilize the advantages of modern civilization, even if they can't beat the martial arts, they can still have guns and weapons). The male leads are all excellent characters, each one great on their own. It's a shame they only get branching storylines and can't all be added to the harem. There's not much detail about their lives after they get together. I feel like I could have read dozens more chapters just watching them fall in love! There are so few side stories! And that handsome, heterochromatic-eyed wolf surnamed Su—I really want to read his side stories too! Such great character development for the male and female leads, and the final romance only appears in a few extra chapters, and even that is very vague—they don't even get to see what happens after that! It's such a shame, I just can't get enough of the extra chapters!
