I'll just say it. It's not even about the romance (but the romance did add to it) but the story itself wasn't it for me. I stopped reading halfway and then picked it up again recently, and I'm still let down. It was definitely rushed, and I'm left a bit confused. If you like the story,okay. if you don't, okay. But honestly in my opinion it wasn't the best story. (not the worst too, but that doesn't make it any better.)
(sorry, just wanted to express my opinion respectfully. since it seems people REALLY hate this story. and to some extent I do as well.)

I was about to read it but then I saw the comments, I'm confused what happened and should I read this?

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.
