    Why it should get picked up : First of all ,the plot is interesting , sure it's a love story but it's not the typical shallow kind , more like the intense one,the story delves into the leads' thoughts , worries (okay mainly love related worries) . I should also mention that it's full of angst, perfect for the angst lovers while it has an adequate number of loving moments and a few funny ones . It's a book that sucks you in and that's because of the skillful writing . I love the way the author describes their moments and the entaglement of the timelines , it's just draws you immediately into the story . The characters are realisticly depicted ,not immediatelly falling in love and with flaws . I personally adore the chinese idioms and chinese culture references that come up throught the story . I am really ok with just summaries of the chapters .Please give this a chance .(I hope i convinced at least one of you ,i don't really think I even gave so much thought to my essay in my final exams ).I forgot to say that a part of the story(1/3) has been translated by catharcity who did a great job but I guess didn't have the time to continue.

    Description : He is Xi Liang’s legendary emperor: a decisive and ruthless king; a man of supreme wisdom; a cunning strategist.

    According to legend, he once conferred the love meant for the three thousand concubines in his harem onto one woman, while the world watched in envy.

    According to legend, he once executed a hundred people for her, turning the palace into a purgatory overnight.

    According to legend, he ultimately sentenced that same woman to death by execution…

    A conspiracy that swept through the country resulted in her tragic end. This lifetime seems to be a repeat of her past life. Can she escape the clutches of fate to attain true love in this life? In both lives, she was the Emperor’s wife, but is that ruthless man really her true love mandated by Heaven?

    Did she really die, just like that?

    In the end, beyond the veil of lies and mysteries, who exactly was she? Was she a woman that he truly loved, or was she merely a chess piece to be used in his political machinations?

    The stories passed onto later generations remain fraught with conflicting opinions.

    Omg, saw your post and went to read the already translated parts. It is so damn good. I'm gonna try to translate it, but I'm not sure if I could make it as good as the current translation...

    Translator has dropped this (translated until chapter 40). I have gone and checked the translator's site and it does not look like they wanted to continue translating this. :(

    The translator's art of writing is ephemerally beautiful - a literary indulgence both mesmerizing and lingering.
    Now I wonder if I'd be able to give it justice.
