bjkan

she does kinda falls for him but gets over soon after learning his selfish nature, also her make-up and outfits get more mature as time passes so it won't look weird in the future. It's more centered towards the FLs rise to power and the other concubines and their stories rather than romance.

He's so good-looking, I really wanted the FL to end up with him in Overlord :((

I'll recommend legend of qianqian

I've watched them both but frankly they didn't click with me much. Legend of dugu had an interesting premise but I was very disappointed when the girl I wanted to be the FL isn't the FL but some other girl is and as expected, the FL is naive, kind, innocent and righteous not to mention boring. She does have character development though, thankfully she doens't carry her dumb personality with her when she becomes the empress. It was okish but not a drama you can watch completely in one sitting, you need to skip a lot.
For queen dugu I was initially very excited because I love dramas where the MCs are in a position of power and authority. But, this turned out to be disappointing :(
It's boring as fuck and too low quality for me

Yess, just watched palace of desire and love it so much
Hope they get updated fast, I'll make sure to tell you if I find an old drama

Also, I'm in dire need of a historical with a strong powerful fl. it seems like I've seen all of em :(
can you reccomend me those where the fl becomes the empress dowager at the end, it's weird but i love it when that happens like legend of mi yue, empresses in the palace etc

i'm so so so excited for it

yesssss, that's the one
thanks a lot :)

also, there are a lot of old palace dramas in your lists like 'the concubines of the qing emperor', where did you watch it with subs?

the drama i thought of was very new, TBA one. I can't seem to find it but it was based on empress liu e
i personally wouldn't recommend palace of devotion, the acting and the actors were great and they obviously put a lot of money in the production and clothing but it lacked lustre and like you said, bad editing. such a waste though, i'd love to see a good drama on someone as formidable as empress liu e
i'll inform you when i find it :)

i remember there was this drama, inspired by empress liu of the song dynasty, very similar to palace of devotion based on the same person even. can you find it for me? thanks

i love the novel so so much, i really hope they don't ruin it like princess wei yang, the drama looks pathetic in front of the amazing novel

i remember this new historic drma based on empress liu of the song dynasty also known as the second wu zetian, it was very simialr to palace of devotion which is inspired by the same person. now i canr find it, can you?

you seem to be an expert in historical dramas so i remember there was this new drama which is inspired by empress liu of the song dynasty who was alsocalled the second wu zetian, it was very similar to palace of devotion and inspired by the same epress liu person

that's a very very common trope in chinese web novels, probably starting from bbjx

ok but wtf ep 38 did the female lead just steal someone's child?

hey lol, who's the actor and drama in your pfp?

yess thank you China,for giving a historic spin to this amazing story!

promise of chang'an yess
i've seen rise of phoenixes, love it

i'd reccomend
ming dynasty
empress ki
the legend of chang'an

Umm I really hope they don't make Zhao rosy the other princess a love rival , in the manhua she didn't even have enough role for this stuff. I just want this dramas main couple to be free of annoying complications like the original manhua.
