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.

   The storyline of an ancient indigenous female protagonist awakening and developing her career as an empress dowager is quite good, but there are some potential pitfalls. The synopsis includes warnings about these.

   The reason this book is so well-known is obvious; for me, it's the progenitor of female-centric novels.

   The author's writing may not be the same as what I wanted to see or expect, but I respect how it's written. The beginning and middle were quite good, and the plot was very tight. However, it became a bit boring and bland near the end. Actually, I was really looking forward to the pairing of Xianze and Xiaojiang. I really liked Xiaojiang's character. Their master-disciple relationship was also quite sweet, and I was looking forward to the moment when their relationship "changed." Xiaojiang's feelings for the female lead were well-developed, but the female lead just didn't quite get it. Even at the end, it felt like Cangjiu was still the most important person in Xianze's heart. Seeing the ending, Xianze and Xiaojiang were still far from perfect. I didn't read the later epilogues, so maybe they'll fill in the gaps later, but after seeing the ending, I didn't have the mood to read them. Although I don't want to admit it, Cangjiu really was the male lead all along, but he was killed off by the plot, which left me with a sense of disappointment. I don't really like the pairing of Cangjiu and the female lead, but the relationship between Xianze and Xiaojiang always felt like it was missing something, not as good as the relationship between Cangjiu and Xianze. I can only say that I have to admit, somewhat helplessly, that Cangjiu should be the male lead.
