   Sister Cheng, with her socialist ideology and methods, wields power as a political being in a feudal dynasty. It's not a gender-based narrative, but the female characters the author portrays all possess their own strength and wisdom. The formidable male opponents only serve to highlight Sister Cheng's excellence. The logic throughout the text is very smooth.

   It idealizes men too much, especially in patriarchal and feudal societies, but the main spotlight is on women.

Whenever Xi Hongrui saw a maid overcome with gratitude in one of those stories, she scoffed. What was so great about marrying a page? A female slave married a male slave, had a whole brood of little slaves, and served the master’s family for generations. She’d be better off becoming the top schola 105.3kFavorites162kClicks/ch142.8kGifts

   Seeing Honghong is like seeing a woman who was oppressed all the way in the feudal era but still managed to forge her own path with vitality. Looking back at history, Honghong was never alone.

   The Empress ascends the throne; the first half is captivating, featuring the ambitious and capable politician Erjiu Bao [cheers!]. However, my understanding of socialism clashes somewhat with the story's portrayal of the feudal dynasty's longevity. Overall, a recommended read.

   Encountering this book by the author is like finding our own way in Arthas and Susan's story; we'll all find our own path. Looking forward to seeing you again! (PS: I personally ignored the male lead who was just a minor character while reading.)

    The dialogue between the female protagonist and the male protagonist system reveals the essence of the various predicaments women face in a patriarchal reality, but the system's presence is too strong and a bit annoying.
