Overprotective of his sister but can’t stop her if she wants to do things her way.
Chapter four also makes her age rather explicit.
Nine years later from the time she returned. Chapter One: when she was six years old, the Emperor sent for them. So when she woke up from being reborn in the palace, she was back to six years old. Nine years later = she’s 15.
That’s in Chapter Three. I made it clear that she returned to her childhood days.
Nope. Different standards for men and women. Even in history, a woman ruler was tagged as evil when she did what other emperors did — kill their children if they rebelled.
She is reborn, went back in time.
Aboron on your profile has zero chapters listed though.
It’s the sister who sensed it. I will try to revise and make it clearer.
Haha. It’s also part of ancient Chinese history. Like what many would say, “the ruling family is the most heartless (ruthless).” Wu Ze Tian, a real historical Tang dynasty empress who ruled in her own right, was rumoured to kill her son for his act of rebellion.
Tear drops would be equally weird as a drop of tear. Why reiterate a drop? This will end up like the discussion about whether ‘sulphur’ or ‘sulfur’ is the right spelling.
The part where she released them from service. That’s above.
There’s both partial and full amputation. It doesn’t only mean total removal. It can also mean partial.
Nope. If you miss the aorta and the pulmonary veins. The ancients knew how to torture ppl without killing them fast.
Sent five years ago. Not favored by her father. Only when her full blooded brother ascended the throne, then she gains favor with the King.
Too trusting. Too naive.
The previous Emperor before her brother was her father. He was the one who sent her to marry into an ally Kingdom. Little over twenty - in the first passage. 15 years old when she was sent over. Her brother Hushiyi succeeded the throne a year before she ended up on the wall.
That’s when a woman depends on a man too much. Some have a choice not to, and some don’t.
1st PoV is an ‘I’. Third PoV deeper narrative - well a ‘she’.
