Ji Cheng stood beside her bed, staring at her face in wonder, questioning if it was real. A faint smile touched his lips as he watched her eyelashes flutter, signaling she was waking up. However, her reaction was far from what he expected. “Pak!” He froze, hand flying to his cheek in shock. “…Did you just slap me?” Xie Ming’s mouth opened in pure terror as reality crashed down on her. She slapped the Emperor. The cruel and infamous ruler of the Ji Dynasty. Am I going to die again? I just came to this world… do I have to die twice? ...... Zhao Ming was once the Empress of the Ji Dynasty, in name only. Ignored. Disrespected. A shadow inside the palace walls. Until fate gave her another chance. She opened her eyes in a world unlike anything she had ever known—strange devices, strange clothing, and a life that didn’t belong to her. A modern world. A second life. ...... Meanwhile, Xie Ming, the wife of a powerful businessman, was known as nothing but trash. A rebellious brat. A shameless, lazy woman. Until one day… she opened her eyes in a palace drenched in blood and rules. And discovered the impossible. She had become the Empress of the Ji Dynasty. Two souls. Two worlds. Two broken women living each other’s lives. One is trying to survive the ruthless modern world. The other is trying not to die in a cruel imperial court. .....

I'm in love with this story concept right now. Just a few critiques. The first is pacing. Take a moment to take it all in. Not all the time just every once in awhile. The second is descriptions. Descriptions do the heavy lifting for a reader's imagination. For example: "Jason went to the piano in the room and sat down in front of it." (Entertainment Star: Ch.3) This line could have been used to draw out more information to the reader. "Jason briskly turned toward the well-used piano on the far side of the room and flung himself to the much newer seat, careful not to hit the instrument in his rush." Whilst this is not perfect (and it never will be), this just adds a little more personality to what is going on. In my example, Jason is in rushed excitement to get to the piano, but not enough to ram into the clearly well-loved item. The piano is well used but has not been replaced even though there is a new seat in front of it. This gives the piano some story and attachment to the last owner. It could be a masterwork piece from a famous piano maker or it could have been his mother's before; so it has sentimental worth. Basically, give me something to chew on. Other than that, I like where I see this going. Keep up the good work. [img=recommend]
