Plot
FMC (empress) regresses after being poisoned (and betrayed) by her family who were planning to overthrow emperor. She decides to take revenge on the family and successfully joins up with the emperor in the first 2-3 chapters. Then, It becomes a dumb romance where the "tyrant" emperor is head over heels in love with FMC.
Review
This is a short series ( 70 chapters). The art was decent and the character designs were hot. These are the only positive things I can say about this series.
The core issue with this series is that the plot keeps flopping around without any clear direction. And all other problems are
...
just a consequence of that. The characters especially felt shallow and boring. We were just told that these characters are clever, but never shown any of their actual intelligent actions. Just like we were told that these characters were in love, but not how they fell in love. At best, its all just childhood romance and childhood trauma (again, all of this is told via narration and never "shown").
This series has the most useless and passive FMC in the history of all shoujo (otome Isekai?) manhwas. She acts all "cool" about her revenge, but other than that, she's just a wallflower for the emperor to love. She leaves everything to the emperor (and his staff). I was frustrated in the past by dumb leads making stupid decisions, but I could not even get angry at this character because she just did nothing. Her character has no intelligence, personality or guts.
Conclusion
Boring series that never goes anywhere. You will be left feeling empty.
