The Phoenix Takes Flight

This is truly outrageous! The prince consort tricked the princess into marriage. Before marrying her, he had a fiancée with whom he had been having an affair. He lied to the princess, claiming that they had broken off the engagement and that their relationship was innocent. During the three years of their marriage, the prince consort's career advanced from the sixth rank to the third rank.

The whole princess's property division drama has dragged on for dozens of chapters and still isn't finished. It's so boring, I'm giving up.

It's quite good. You can tell the author wanted a female empress, but the author also seems to have trapped themselves by trying to create a "double virginity" scenario, forcing the female lead to not consummate the marriage for three years. But is that even possible? A scumbag husband lying to his beautiful wife about his health? It's unnecessary, really unnecessary to write it like that.

It's a complete mess. A princess of a nation, and a legitimate daughter at that, is being bullied like this? The later plot doesn't align with historical events. Is the author obsessed with becoming an official? I can understand the author wanting to portray "strong women," but not in this way. A female marquis willingly becoming a concubine, and the eldest princess forcing her way to the throne as empress—the more I read, the more speechless I become. I'm dropping it.
