Imperial Splendor and Prosperity

It's really well written; the fact that there's no male lead is even better.

Does the author have any other novels without a romantic pairing besides this one?

The female lead could easily be a native, and she feels perfectly justified in oppressing the palace servants as part of the oppressive class, euphemistically calling it "a merciful ruler cannot command an army." She's ruthless in executing entire families, completely disregarding innocent children among them. The execution of the concubine's entire family at the end is particularly laughable.

The first few dozen chapters were really good, but the later ones became quite boring...

Grand and magnificent, exhilarating and unforgettable, a must-see! Highly recommended!

Putting everything else aside, seeing the female lead riding in a snow leopard's car on the street was a serious red flag.

This is fantastic! Reading it from beginning to end was truly exhilarating... Ah, I almost missed such a wonderful piece! 🤭

I was so angry watching this late at night. It had a terrible ending. They spent so much time showing the astrological map and star charts, but in the end, nothing happened. I thought Jun Fei would have an important role, but from the beginning to the end, the characters were constantly being tricked.

This is a wonderful article, why are there so few comments?

I finished reading the entire book on WeChat Reading on June 5th, 2021, and am writing this review here. This book has no male protagonist; it's a typical female-centric strategy novel. The writing is excellent, the plot is above average, and there are no major flaws. It's suitable for both men and women.
