This is such a great story. The female lead kicks bu*t and is quite smart. In the past life she was the Empress - now she just wants to kill her former hubby. It's quite dark and the schemes she does is quite o_O but I like it. ... more>>

The ML is also quite nice and I really like how he respects her.  <<less

The ML is a reincarnator in this case. He is the "Tyrant" - and he's quite crazy in the sense that no one knows what he will do. He is obsessed with the FL - and is willing to do anything to earn her love and making sure she lives  a happy life. He takes care of all her enemies - without her knowing. He doesn't follow any conventions - he is the prince of the emperor - but throws out the current standards in order to give the FL a happy life. ... more>>

The FL (transmigration)- isn't the most prettiest person, but everyone seems to like her (yeah she does have that protagonist halo). People she hates - get their just desserts, some of the time, it's as a result of her actions - other times it's because of the ML. Even though the author try to make her not too OP, I think she does a protagonist halo - she is a bit too talented in too many areas and everyone that's worthy likes her (the useless hates her). 

This is quite a political novel - but I find the romance steamy. lol. 

I really like the writing, which is why I recommend this. Nothing is spelled out directly and you have to connect the dots yourself. Sometimes, the author just hints what happened or what will happen and does not directly say it. I like it - the author doesn't treat the reader as an idiot. The world is fleshed out and side characters are not too 1D.  <<less

She isn't vicious but very calm collected and intelligent. Just the right dosage of protagonist halo :) She learns from her past mistakes and is... more>> very conscientious about how she's altering her past and how it's affecting her future with her current actions.  <<less
