Don't listen to the above person..sounds like they didn't read properly and just skim through it..At first she treated him like a slave but they've already developed feelings for each other and now finding ways to keep each other for themselves as u know she's a queen and can't be with a consort only..she has to choose her king to which she's planning something..And she's massively strong both physically and as a character..

If you've read Daughter of the Emperor, then this should be fine. The dad in Daughter of the Emperor has many concubines that are war slaves and tributes from conquered nations. Here, it's the same dynamic. The Empress conquers a nation and takes in the surviving prince as her concubine. Obviously the dad from Daughter of the Emperor and the Empress from this story (FL) sleep with their concubines.
I was about to read it but then I saw the comments, I'm confused what happened and should I read this?
