Description
Lin Xuan never expected to wake up in the game world he created—especially not as a doomed survivor of the fallen dynasty, marked for death in just a few years by the rebellion of the five Kings. Determined to rewrite his fate, Lin Xuan hatches a desperate escape plan. His unlikely partner in this scheme? Zhao Yuehan, an unassuming official from the Ministry of Commerce. However, there’s a twist: Zhao Yuehan is not only disguised as a man but also alarmingly calm in the face of Lin Xuan’s constant cries of impending doom. “Brother Zhao, the Empress Dowager will die soon. Let’s run away together!” “Brother Zhao, the five Kings are about to rebel. Let’s run away together!” “Brother Zhao, the Empress herself will die soon. Let’s—run away together!” However, Zhao Yuehan seems far more interested in Lin Xuan’s surprisingly accurate knowledge of national affairs, forcing him to answer questions he’d rather dodge. Little does he know that Zhao Yuehan’s true identity is far more explosive than he could ever imagine. When the legendary Empress Ji Handan—alive, powerful, and very much not dead—suddenly confronts Lin Xuan, she drops a bombshell: “I’m the Empress you claimed would die soon, and you even suggested I run away with you! Care to explain that, Lin Xuan?” Now caught between the looming rebellion, Zhao Yuehan’s sharp intellect, and the Empress’s undeniable authority, Lin Xuan must navigate a web of political intrigue, hidden identities, and his wildly unpredictable destiny.

My Thoughts on I’m The Empress and You Asked Me to Run Away?
"I'm The Empress and You Asked Me to Run Away?" definitely caught my eye with that title! After diving in, I can see why it has a solid rating. It’s a fun blend of genres, and while the translation is still ongoing, I've got enough to share my initial impressions.
First Impressions
The premise is certainly intriguing. Our MC finds himself entangled with the Empress, who, for reasons unknown, wants him to scram. The beginning has a light, slice-of-life feel to it, which I personally enjoy. It focuses on character interactions and world-building before diving into heavier plot elements.
What Works Well
The humor is a definite highlight. The comedy stems from the MC's obliviousness to the Empress's true identity and the situations that arise from it. The system element also adds a layer of enjoyment. It seems the MC gets access to technology and items that are slightly ahead of the current era, leading to some satisfying "face-slapping" moments when people underestimate him. The story creates a satisfying power dynamic where the MC isn't entirely helpless, which is a nice change of pace. The scheming from various factions keeps the narrative engaging and prevents it from becoming repetitive.
Areas of Concern
While the romance between the MC and the Empress is present, it doesn't seem to be the primary focus. If you're looking for a romance-heavy novel, this might not be exactly what you're after. Also, I'm still waiting on more translated chapters!
Final Verdict
Overall, "I'm The Empress and You Asked Me to Run Away?" is a promising novel. The blend of comedy, historical elements, and a touch of the supernatural creates a unique and entertaining experience. The first half offers a lighter, slice-of-life feel with satisfying moments of triumph for the MC, while the second half seems to ramp up the action and military aspects. If you enjoy lighthearted reads with scheming, face-slapping, and a system that provides a technological edge, I recommend giving this one a try!
