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.

Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!

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.

besides adapting mindset to modern times and learning the gadgets tools and getting completely used to everything around are two different things. you can't expect an ancient queen to just know the how-tos and dos and don'ts.

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!

PAMPERED BY MY THREE BROTHERS: THE RETURN OF THE NEGLECTED HEIRESS

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!
