Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Someone said: “My bed, it’s not your first time sleeping here. Why aren’t you coming over?”
Me: “Your majesty, this wanted fugitive is not a concubine in your palace. I’m not obligated to sleep with you!”
… Makes no sense the concubines are left idle, instead wanting a criminal awaiting execution like me to waste energy both mentally and physically.
Someone said: “Really? – – An Yi is surprisingly very righteous!”
Not lightly nor heavily, he lets out a decree: “If you don’t want to sleep with me, then off with your head!”

The MC An Yi is the daughter of a general, disguised as a man for most of her life since her father had no sons. Her country was overthrown, and she flees with Xiao Huang, the previous dynasty's incompetent child emperor, living a life of poverty.
They’re arrested when XH steals a drumstick out of hunger, and her other childhood friend and the man she used to love (until he betrayed them to keep his position as a general for the current Emperor) Yan Ping, takes them to a cell. YP has hated AY since he thought she was a gay man, and denied his own feelings for her, but instantly changes when he realizes she’s female.
On the way to the executioner’s block, XH escapes, revealing that he’s actually smarter than he lets on and stayed by her side and had them arrested to force her to reveal inheritance – her grandfather’s army seal – which she doesn’t have anyway.
YP then delivers AY to the current Emperor, Feng Zhao Wen, whom she’s met on the battlefield and possibly had past relations with. FZW takes her into his palace, seems to treat her well and (insert synopsis here). She ends up climbing into his bed and treated as a concubine by his servants.
That aside, the summary hints the female character is very unusual for a woman in ancient era due to two factor. One, she was raised as a boy and go through an interesting puberty period due to gender-bender confusion.
Two, she got brain damage sometime in the past and since this story is told from first person perspective you can see An Yi while pretty aware for someone with brain damage, we can't say she is completely sane. So, while her character background will burst our tear duct, she is not bent on revenge or anything. Instead of the usual more competent avenger woman post-tragedy in web novel, we got a girl so burn-out from everything she couldn't even bring herself to care about people who wronged her. In the other hand the male lead is also quite a damaged soul himself, and the author somehow manage to write a background that justify why the Emperor, Feng Zhao Wen is so possessive and obsessed with An Yi. Surprisingly, not because he is the emperor who did just because he could. They make interesting dynamic and fresh characters we could love. However, due to this story told in first person perspective of female lead with loose screw... while it makes the narrative very amusing, in the same time it makes some part of the story unclear especially when it concern other character. Some of them become very flat because An Yi's worldview is screwed. So she'd either gloss over them or has amusing bias about their character.
So no one gives a crap about him raping her ? Really ? I mean, I know he loves her and everything, but still, it was clear that at the beginning she didn't love him and didn't want to do this with him and she accepted only because she thought he'd kill her otherwise and wanted to live (s*x with one not caring about the other party's feelings = r*pe. S*x through blackmail and threat = r*pe). And why, in almost every Chinese book I've read until now on NU, does nobody seem to care about consent ?
Édit : alright, I'll admit, this is a good story overall if you forget the r*pe tag. Good character growth, intriguing evolution, etc.
nevertheless, I have a big problem with the whole r*pe thing so I can't fully enjoy the story because of that. Furthermore, I think this was completely unnecessary to the intrigue. At no point, the Emperor seems to consider that the FL might not want to be with him and that she's allowed to say no. So the author does not seem to give a damn about consent.
also, there are way too many flashbacks and alternative point of views and it's often very unclear if we're reading about the past or the present.
Even though the beginning was a little confusing, the later chapters kind of cleared some things up. :)
I don't mind the beginning chapters because I feel like those chapters are necessary for the future development in the novel.
Female MC has a really interesting personality. She is a little bit crazy but I like the fact that she isn't easily perturbed by difficult situations and manages to act silly in an intelligent manner.
5 stars for just the female mc's character
5+ stars for storyline
