The Empress's Life

I saw some comments saying they couldn't accept the female lead being cheated on or being cheated on... Hmmmm, I think this is a more realistic, cruel, and flesh-and-blood person. It doesn't feel out of place to see a girl from modern civilization grow into an emperor step by step. Those girls who hope to see pure and flawless love, you really should read history books.

I absolutely love this book. The writing style, the characters, the beginning, and the ending all moved me deeply. I love the Emperor and Du Min.

Watching it a second time, and reflecting on it again, I still find it enjoyable.

I understand the Empress's actions, but I still dislike Lu Zhao. Using Lu Zhao as a sperm bank is one thing, but to say she once liked him???? Even though she stopped liking him later, it's still disgusting. That time at the beach, the Empress swam with him for so long before he woke up, and he just… Even if he was blinded by lust, it wouldn't be that bad. Did he even consider his health?

Of all the novels I've read over the years, this one is absolutely top-notch. Finishing it felt like experiencing another life. It's deeply moving. (Spoilers ahead) I've thought about this for a long time. To explain the plot of the book, the most important thing is the character Ye Mingjing, who is the absolute protagonist.

The ending disgusted me. What do you mean by "I don't want my daughter to suffer"? Why can't my daughter suffer? Why treat my daughter like a pet?

Suddenly it dawned on me to check the publication date. It's a book from 2011! For something like this to be written back then was already quite impressive. Go search for what was popular in female-oriented fiction in 2011...

I remember reading this novel in high school. It was the first time I had ever read a female-dominated, female-emperor type of story. It became an instant bestseller, and I haven't read anything better since.

Some of the comments are simply speechless. What is an empress? Figure that out. The reasons and consequences for having children born to mainland Chinese parents have been explained clearly. Still agonizing over things like being cheated on or betrayed. If you keep thinking like this every day, why bother writing about an empress? There are plenty of mindless romance novels out there, right?

It's really good! The emotions are delicate and genuine, and every character is fleshed out. The female lead has a grand vision, rising from an ordinary person to an empress, her values ​​are impeccable, she treats sincerity with sincerity, and she doesn't force what she can't have. I'm used to reading (brainless, sweet, and satisfying revenge stories), it's been a long time since I've read a novel like this. The author is truly amazing! 👍
