Mmm...the issue with this being a romance novel is that I don't ship ML x FL. ML deserves better. FL is an ancient empress aka overbearingly strong, defiant, "my way or the highway" and doesn't listen to anyone. ML is your typical overbearing alpha male CEO, who also doesn't listen to anyone. BUT he's trying really hard to be good to FL, but sucks at expressing words. PROS 1. Talented FL: she's physically strong, talented in traditional medicine 2. Independent: doesn't falter when people tarnish her name and is going to find ways to find truth CONS 1. Empress role play: I *get* that she used to be an empress but it's annoying that she isn't adapted yet. The author even said something like "she got used to the new world in just 1 day" but she keep comparing ML to the old emperor, which is really unfair to him. And she even calls him "emperor" and can't use modern technology. 2. FL doesn't own up to mistakes: there's always an excuse for everything. Blew up the kitchen? "how was I supposed to know wires". Kicked ML off bed? "why was he there in the first place" IDK. It's really annoying, FL doesn't have a sense of responsibility. 3. I JUST DON'T SHIP THEM. Tbh ML just deserves better. FL doesn't care about him yet he's doing all these things behind the scenes to help her out. It's probably the first novel where a strong female lead is a bad thing, for me. She's annoyingly stubborn and doesn't consider the people around her at all. No friends, family, close coworkers etc.

Thanks for the honest review. I hate reading novels where I feel that one character doesn't deserve the other.

I don't know if I can agree with this because I don't remember him ever actually doing anything for her. He tries but then takes it back at the last minute because he doesn't understand his feelings. The FL has really done everything herself this whole time. Even him taking her out of the mental hospital wasn't because he cared about her. We don't know why he married her in the first place and despite her being obviously mentally unwell he didn't have anybody watching her which is what led to her death in the first place. At least that's how I saw it. You're right about her seeing the emperor every time she looked at him. I did feel bad every time she compared him to the Emperor because it's not him, but you also have to look at it from her viewpoint which is that her husband only died a few months ago.

I actually thought this was a hilarious book. there were times where I just wanted to burst out laughing. there were certain things that I felt could have been done better or quicker, but overall, it is hilarious and I do recommend it. The ML is amazing too :) the FL is strong and smart but at the same time a little stupid when it comes to modern norms which actually results in quite a few hilarious situations. Anyways, I recommend and hope you enjoy!

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

The Billionaire's Rental Wife Is A Hot Shot

“I will let you be on top from tonight, please don’t divorce me, darling!” ----- Evelyn’s fairytale life shattered when a stranger stormed in, claiming to be the real daughter of the Wright family with proof. Her enviable privileges? Stripped away. Her spotless reputation? Tarnished. Her four-year engagement? Abruptly annulled. But the worst betrayal came from her once-loving father, all set to marry her off to settle a business score—with a man twice her age! Everyone in the circle attended this scandalous wedding, eager to witness the downfall of the supposed fake heiress. Yet, the climax was not what even Evelyn had anticipated! Zevian Reign, the nation’s richest tycoon, known for being every woman’s fantasy and the nightmare of all his rivals, made a dramatic entrance. His arrival stunned the guests, but his brazen wish was even more startling! He casually demanded to replace the groom and marry the beautiful bride. No one dared to challenge, nor did anyone have the guts to disobey him. They were left with no choice but to watch the wedding unfold. And it was Evelyn’s time to smirk, for she was now the devil’s wife. And all those who had ruined her, they would pay back in tenfold! ++++ [Excerpt] "Why would I ditch my husband for a loser?" Evelyn chuckled, crossing her arms defiantly. "He is better than him in all the aspects." Her gaze drifted to her ex-fiancé nearby, and she continued with a smirk, "Actually, a lot better in bed." As Annabelle’s face flushed with disdain, Evelyn patted her back and leaned in to deliver another slap. "So, good luck with licking my leftovers, dear step-sister. He's a perfect match for you."
