I'm usually very apprehensive about Manhuas, especially those set in the imperial era, due to the plain fact that all of them have similar storylines. There's only so much of wronged heroines, handsome hero who's inevitably a Prince and bitchy supporting characters that a reader can handle.
BUT, No doubt in us was a much-needed breath of fresh air!! The Emperor and Empress accidentally exchange bodies ala Freaky Friday, resulting in a lot of fun shenanigans and lessons. Despite the conniving Harem and all the soap-opera-ish drama, it's hilarious when you remember that all the plotting is being witnessed by the Emperor. The subversion of tropes, with the emperor being a man of literature and administration while the Empress is far more skilled in warfare and military tactics, is very refreshing. It makes the reader ponder how much more respected the Empress's skills would have been if she were born in a different era or Kingdom. The supporting cast is well rounded, especially the 2nd Prince Jinming, who never fails to bring a smile to your face. Overall, a very well-written Manhua.
