This book was mindblowing. 
I knew that when I picked up this book, the FMC was a hero meant to be a villain. But never have I expected to hate such character. Some people may call her an “antihero”, but I beg to defi. 
She is someone who has light and dark within her, but as the story goes, darkness is the one who seeks at the end. She will do anything to become the Empress even pulling the former empress down and also leaving a man who loves her dearly.
I am flabbergasted and upset. I have to read the second book asap. I honestly wished the downfall for the FMC, for the first time in my life. I don’t think the author is gonna do that tough.
