2) Plotholeslike others have mentioned, there is basically no transitioning thoughts or actions by the MC when he finds himself in a woman's body. I am not personally bothered by this as the MC has already shown himself to be somewhat a Dull or mostly Passive person when we're introduced to him, but it does take away a lot of the excitement of seeing the reaction of a warrior finding himself in a body of a different gender.
- I believe another book expands on this story which is why I'm assuming some of the plot holes remain unsolved.
- Even so, I want to address the very strange fact that it seems– life in the Palace for the Empress only began upon the transmigration?

What I can say I liked about this novel though are only to do with the characters, as there's really not much world building to get me invested into its setting. The ML, I liked that he did have the standings of an emperor what with a harem, looking after his country yet interestingly enough still having a familiar relation with his younger brother who was granted as Marquis. I really liked the addition of the Crown Prince, but he seems to only serve as sth for the Empress to interact with, as his background is largely blurry and we don't know who his mother is, just that he is favoured by the emperor. However I just couldn't get myself to continue reading as it was just- boring? Uncultivated? Idk. But Ik this story has some potential in it, just perhaps I came in with too high expectations. Even so! I still have hope for this novel as I do want to know how the main couple get together. Overall, all I can say is to give this novel a try if you aren't the type to nitpick and just want an easy read to pass the time. Oh, and that the Gender Bender aspect really doesn't hold much sway in the story at all, sadly.We find out that the Empress is largely passive of others due to her "Ugly" (no, surprise² she is not actually ugly, just injured facially and just the fact noone could tell that– imperial doctor whom?– nagged me aplenty.) looks. Upon transmigration naturally our MC is not this way, and although some characters acknowledge the change is temperament-I find it all very lacking. A maid whose passive invalid suddenly has the guts to smack her is suddenly incredibly docile and helpful to her master. An emperor's wife, the Empress is suddenly going around when she used to always remain in her room. No questions whatsoever. And the rumoured conclusions are kinda silly.

- one translation that only covers a little more than half of the chapters is better: very smooth. The other one feels like MTL and can be slightly confusing, although you get used to the style quickly.
