Description

The day Si Wan died, the entire capital celebrated the Empress’s coronation. Her body—carved open and heart removed—was tossed into a mass grave, as she watched her legitimate sister, Si Qingjia, step onto the empress’s throne using her phoenix bone. Above Si Qingjia’s head hovered a blood-red cuckoo, clutching the ninth golden feather stolen from Si Wan’s very fate. “Dear sister, your phoenix fate suits me perfectly.” “Even His Majesty said I was born to be empress.” Si Wan died filled with rage, her resentment lingering. But she was powerless to stop Si Qingjia’s rise to glory. Then—rebirth. Si Wan opened her eyes on the night she was framed for seducing the Seventh Prince. And as the setup played out, she caught a glimpse of Si Qingjia’s robe vanishing around the corner. Meanwhile, the crowd whispered: “Si Wan is shameless.” “Si Qingjia is pure and virtuous.” But later, in the Golden Throne Hall— Si Wan watched as the man in black robes and ink-dark hair stepped out from behind the dragon throne, pressed the imperial seal into her palm and asked with a smile: “Zitong, want to smash this for fun?” Si Wan: …Wasn’t he supposed to be the cold, heartless God of War?

My Thoughts on Her Legitimate Sister Stole Her Destiny? The Future Emperor Worships Her Now

"Her Legitimate Sister Stole Her Destiny? The Future Emperor Worships Her Now" is a title that certainly grabs your attention, and while the story has its strengths, it didn't quite deliver on all the promises of high-stakes revenge I was expecting. It's an ongoing historical romance with a clever female lead, and I found myself enjoying the journey, even if it was a bit smoother than anticipated.

First Impressions

The initial chapters hooked me with the premise of a second chance at life for our protagonist, Si Wan. Armed with knowledge of her past demise and a system (which feels more like a helpful advisor than a game-changing power-up), she's determined to rewrite her fate. The complex family dynamics and the blatant injustice of her sister stealing her destiny immediately set the stage for a compelling revenge story.

What Works Well

Si Wan herself is a major draw. She's intelligent, composed, and strategic, which makes her satisfying to root for. I especially appreciate her ability to sit back and let her enemies' own schemes unravel them, reaping the benefits without getting her hands too dirty. It's a refreshing take on the revenge trope, highlighting her cunning and patience. The romance, while a "late romance" as tagged, is something I am looking forward to seeing develop.

Areas of Concern

My biggest issue lies with the execution of the revenge plot. While the premise suggests a challenging uphill battle, I found the villains often tripped over themselves due to their own greed and stupidity. This made Si Wan's victories feel a little too easy, diminishing the satisfaction of her revenge. I also found myself occasionally questioning some character motivations.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Her Legitimate Sister Stole Her Destiny? The Future Emperor Worships Her Now" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're looking for a clever female lead and a relatively low-stakes revenge story. While the plot could benefit from more complexity and the villains could use a bit more competence, Si Wan's intelligence and the intriguing world-building kept me engaged. I will continue reading to see how the romance develops and if the revenge plot gains some much-needed difficulty. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
