Historical Stories with Female Leads 历史女主文

1. 1 我 I Became the First Emperor of Qin's National Preceptor with a Favorable Consort System 我靠宠妃系统当了秦始皇的国师 White Wood白色的木Romance1.8M WordsCompleted My new novel, Everyone at Court Can Hear My Inner Thoughts, is currently being serialized. Interested readers can visit my author page to check it out. (The synopsis of this novel is below.) She was the person dearest to Qin Shi Huang. She was Emperor Wu of Han's one true love. She was the one Tang Taizong could never bear to hurt, not even a finger's breadth. She was… Qin Shi Huang: That's right. Emperor Wu of Han: The empire means less to me than she does.

   I'm deducting two stars, mainly for the Tang and Ming Dynasty episodes. In the Ming Dynasty episode, the female protagonist's actions fail to address the problems of the Ming Dynasty, as she avoids discussing foot binding and funerary sacrifice. In this scenario, even the Confucian scholars and Confucius have the bizarre plot of "my meaning has been misinterpreted by later generations." Aren't you, Confucius, someone who revered Zhou rituals (the reason Zhou conquered Shang was because Shang neglected human sacrifices) and favored men over women? The Tang Dynasty, alas, the love between the emperor and empress (not in a positive sense), alas, the abolition of land grants to women, alas, the border conflicts. Especially the border conflicts, which were a major problem in the Tang Dynasty's demise... It's unreasonable not to emphasize them. The Tang Dynasty side stories completely outclass all the main content except for the Song Dynasty storyline. The comment section was a constellation of stars, with Chengqian fans breaking down their defenses. Overall, the female protagonist's actions are interesting and innovative, demonstrating a certain level of female consciousness. Each story also features vibrant, unconstrained female characters. That's roughly how long stories are; they have many strengths but also very obvious weaknesses. I don't regret subscribing to the whole thing, but if I were to rewatch it, I would only watch the parts that were praised earlier. Depicting a character's darker side is not a form of denial; adding these subtle details to the other emperors would greatly improve the overall experience of the story.

   The political maneuvering is skillful; no one is a fool. The unknown father is a big plus! The protagonist is not just a symbol of a "wise ruler"; he is also biased and capable of plotting against innocent people. The writing is well-integrated, and the verbal battles are interesting, but it feels like the author isn't very good at writing in a forum-style format. A minor flaw is that some characters, despite their strategic abilities, don't exhibit significant differences in personality and thought processes; the author showed considerable improvement in this area when writing *Wang Shen'ai*.

3. 3 我 I Became Qin Shi Huang's Second Qin Emperor 我给始皇当秦二世 Gold and Jade Fill the Courtyard金玉满庭No CP1.1M WordsCompleted A biological father-daughter relationship with the First Emperor Zhao Buxi, a remnant of the Six Kingdoms living in the Qin dynasty and the daughter of a beauty from the fallen state of Zhao, looks at her golden finger, then at the talented man she has just recruited. She falls into deep thought. You need talent to make use of a golden finger. Xiang Yu could do it, Liu Bang could do it, so why couldn’t she, Zhao Buxi? “Great talent, the Qin dynasty is tyrannical and the people are suffering. 184.4kFavorites320.7kClicks/ch676.4kGifts

   Compared to the author's last two books, this one has obvious shortcomings. However, the author's dialogue, which sounds like a classical Chinese translation, is still quite interesting. I will finish reading it when I have time.

4. 4 大 [Tang Dynasty] Chang'an of the Great Tang [唐]大唐长安 Gold and Jade Fill the Courtyard金玉满庭Romance1.1M WordsCompleted When Li Chang’an opened her eyes again, she was in the Tang Dynasty. The good news: It was the Kaiyuan era, the golden age of the Tang, and she was a daughter of Emperor Xuanzong. The bad news: The An Lushan Rebellion was just around the corner, and her father disliked her so much he wouldn’t even give her a princess’s title and made her become a Taoist nun. Princess Shou’an was born to Cao Yena Ji. She was born in the ninth month of pregnancy. The emperor hated her and ordered her to be dress 175.8kFavorites238.2kClicks/ch656.8kGifts

   Compared to Qin Er Shi, this book shows a significant improvement in writing style, with more nuanced characters and more realistic and reasonable infrastructure. Chang'an reversed his own fate and also restored his adoptive mother's "kindness" to "wisdom." Several reasons for deducting one star: ① The author repeatedly referenced the Li Tang succession method, which reduced the difficulty of recruiting talent and ascending to the throne. This was interesting, but it made many characters' development suffer because of it... I personally think the author could have handled it better. ②The author's fondness for poets leads to the poets' character traits being overly simplistic and lacking in depth compared to other characters. ③ The Underworld Side Story... Sigh, Emperor Wu, sigh, Emperor Pingyang. Some of you who have read it should resonate with me. There is some anger, some resentment, some unwillingness for family harmony, and some estrangement between women and their fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands. However, this isn't a major disappointment, so overall it's still a four-star recommendation. It's highly recommended for readers who enjoy empress stories but aren't too fixated on the meticulousness of infrastructure development.

5. 5 定 [Wu Zhou] Founding the Dynasty [武周]定鼎 River Wind a Thousand Miles Away千里江风Romance2.1M WordsCompleted [Current arc: Wu Zhou] Wu Qingyue never imagined that one moment she’d be grabbing her keyboard to argue with someone that the claim Empress Zhaoyi had murdered her daughter was complete nonsense, and the next she’d be reborn as Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of Tang’s third daughter. In other words... the daughter of Wu Zetian who died before her first birthday.

   Qljf comfort zone, Wu Huang Wu Huang You are Mom, Lord, Power Holder, Ambitious, Reformer. I'm deducting one star for the later battles. With the tools available, the protagonist controls the situation, and his strategic thinking becomes less prominent. The battles become more about numerical values. Xiao Hu's first battle was truly a disaster [poor thing]. Also, with the development of high-risk weapons, I think we should explore how to manage the users... Even the most loyal person knows that a slight slip of the hand could send someone to their doom, so it's hard not to overthink and just follow orders. I'm adding a star for the change in Lizhi's attitude. I've always felt that many articles and discussions idealize him. His true attitude is difficult to determine based on historical records, so I think the writing style in this story is more reasonable, directly addressing the issue. And the changes and responses of many women triggered by the sky curtain. Even just the side stories are undoubtedly high-quality!

Things seem pretty good from the start… Wait, which faction’s goddess is she, exactly? Chen Zhao stared at the people in front of her, all wearing yellow turbans and charging forward as they shouted, “The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise! In the year of Jiazi, good fortune shall reign!” She fell silent. So… she was a rebel? Chen Zhao rolled up her sleeves.

   Curator note

   The author's descriptive skills have reached a new level in this book. Many chapters are so beautiful that I can quickly conjure up scenes in my mind that could be used as popular material for a major editing campaign on some website. Many characters have new possibilities to avoid death, and the author hasn't made the female lead seem overly kind, which is commendable. One star is deducted for the romance. In the author's previous book, *Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty*, the romance was less prominent and less disruptive to the reading experience because the male lead wasn't a key figure and was positioned as a supportive wife. The Underworld side story is much better than the Tang Dynasty one... It manages to capture the essence of a character with only a few words. Looking forward to seeing more improvement in the author's next book! [Panda head emoji]

7. 7 皇 The Emperor's Chat Group on the Sky Screen [天幕]皇帝聊天群 Clothes in September九月有衣No CP641k WordsCompleted The sky screen appeared. On the left was a fixed Imperial Reputation Ranking, on the right a live People’s Support Ranking, and between them was a chat group where everyone used their real names. First Emperor Ying Zheng read through the rankings and found only two people surnamed Ying: one at the very top, and the other at the very bottom. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, looked at Liu Heng’s surprisingly high ranking and contemplated life. Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, couldn’t find Crown Prince 80kFavorites129kClicks/ch295.4kGifts

   Curator note

   The author made reasonable inferences based on existing historical materials, but personal bias was too obvious... Making the topic of Liu Bang seem rather lackluster. Aside from him, the other topics at least possessed a certain degree of rigor and interest. The portrayal of Liu Che's character leaned towards popular perception, serving to liven up the atmosphere, but this was ultimately harmless. Many viewpoints are presented in a very organized and refreshing way. However, I believe that historical figures were not entirely unaware of the advantages, disadvantages, or objectives of policies or doctrines… The topic of the hateful Qing dynasty cannot be elaborated upon for various reasons. The author has great potential; I look forward to the new work.

8. 8 我 I, Qin Ershi, Am Broadcast Rebelling on the Sky Screen 我秦二世被天幕直播造反 Clothes in September九月有衣Romance381k WordsCompleted Ying Yunman transmigrates as the daughter of Qin Shi Huang. She won’t try to convince Ying Zheng that the elixirs are poisonous, or warn Fusu not to believe Hu Hai’s forged imperial edict. If she wants to rewrite history completely, the only way is to become emperor herself! Rising against the First Emperor would make it difficult to use her advantage as someone from the future. Rising against Hu Hai, on the other hand, means competing with the Chu and Han kingdoms. Even with her imperfect know 61.6kFavorites158.9kClicks/ch128.9kGifts

   Curator note

   Policy implementation requires the development of productive forces and time. Even after the spoilers, everyone still believes the protagonist can succeed, although there's a plot point where "a certain class intends to rebel but is blocked by subsequent policies (and Qin Shi Huang is still alive). Jpg," making the overall picture somewhat idealistic. And, the main story's romance was already quite good, only touched upon briefly... The epilogue felt so forced [crying emoji]. The author still seems to love Han and Xiang so much, haha. Qin San Nan is also very annoying. But at least the policy is feasible to some extent, the concept is relatively rigorous and persuasive, and the criticism of cynics is very powerful, so what more can be said? Four stars!

   The storyline encompasses the original historical timeline, the Sky Curtain timeline, and the present-day timeline. Each character undergoes changes consistent with their personality due to the Sky Curtain's influence, making clear decisions and experiencing their own conflicts. Xi Kang is an extremely rare find among Sky Curtain's coronation stories on Green River! The explanatory text for Sky Curtain is also exceptionally well-written… qljf's writing style has been greatly enhanced; the chapter where the female lead's identity is revealed is endlessly enjoyable [panda head emoji]. The script's quality doesn't match the data; this book deserves better returns. The author has changed her writing habit of frequently using certain sentence structures in her new works, but this characteristic is still very obvious in this book. I have read several novels about female emperors and can adapt to them. Friends who are not used to it may find it a bit difficult to read. However, the plot is tight and does not fall apart. I highly recommend it.

    I haven't read much of The Fourth Calamity yet. The plot is interesting, but there are many male-centric terms in the text, such as referring to the audience as brothers... These are some minor flaws. However, there are also some outstanding female characters. It's up to you whether you want to get into it or not.

11. 11 大 The Han Dynasty's Female Marquis 大汉女侯 Mount Emei Monkey 03峨眉山猴子03Romance626k WordsCompleted In the spring of the fifth year of Yuanshuo, the seventeenth year since Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne. Wen Tang transmigrates into the body of a Han slave captured and taken to the grasslands south of the desert. Every day, she has endless filthy, exhausting work to do. On top of that, she has to watch out for sudden lashes of the whip and the possibility of being killed by the Xiongnu as a human sacrifice. A truly catastrophic start, where just staying alive is enough. Just then, Wen 19.2kFavorites22.5kClicks/ch25.1kGifts

    Curator note

    The story begins with a female slave from the grasslands, who, despite being injured, assists the Han army in defeating the Xiongnu. After that, it becomes a mindless, straightforward progression, 95% of the time a lighthearted read. Don't take the character development too seriously; if you're just looking for fun, the reading experience is quite smooth. The beginning is quite engaging. Also, the extra chapters under the sky are just for fun (but they're all bonus content).

    Qljf, comfort zone, Empress Wu, we respect and love you. The author has corrected the habit of frequently using convoluted sentences, greatly improving the reading experience. The writing style is more lively, the female protagonist is vivacious and clever, and the author's track record of finishing chapters is quite good. Since it's still being serialized, I'll give it 4 stars just to be safe. [Panda head emoji]

The bad news: My father is dead from the start, there are corpses at my feet, and I've been forced onto the throne before I can even catch my breath. My elegant, noble mother whispered in my ear, "Lihuo, it's time to ascend the throne." I looked at her, then at the blood-soaked "example of what happens to those who refuse" on the ground. 3.2kFavorites3.6kClicks/ch3.1kGifts

    Curator note

    There are some aspects that cannot be scrutinized in detail. For example, how, when, and why was the practice of the emperor attending classes with his study companions stopped? What were the arrangements for the other study companions? And while opening classes to cultivate the next generation is theoretically sound, the practice of admitting students in batches based on age is not very reasonable. The top scorers in this year's exam may not be the same as those in last year's exam. It is also unclear how those female students who are destined not to be heirs based on age are arranged. I know that based on age, I am definitely not the heir, so should I study hard? But the establishment of a fixed imperial succession is still a good thing. Despite its flaws, this is one of the more smoothly written and well-structured novels about female emperors, so I'd give it four stars.
