Description
Rodelia, the “Flower of the Thebes Empire,” was the perfect empress and loving wife. No, that was what she thought. That was, until the woman showed up. “You told me you loved me. Was it all a lie?” “…… It wasn’t a lie. It’s just that my heart is small.” Rodelia collapsed at the Emperor’s words that he no longer loved her. Then a mysterious man, Cerdian, approached her, offering a helping hand. “Your help is not needed. Grand Duke Eisen.” “As I said, you will choose me in the end.” Unable to trust Cerdian, Rodelia rejected him, but found herself teetering in the face of an increasingly harsh fate ……. “There’s nothing to be afraid of.” “…….” “Didn’t you come to me with your own two feet?” Rodelia herself knew this.As long as she held Cerdian’s hand first, she wouldn’t be able to run away from him. “Do you think I can let you go?” ‘Can I really trust him?’

My Thoughts on The Abandoned Empress Will Not Return
"The Abandoned Empress Will Not Return" promised a gripping tale of heartbreak, betrayal, and hopefully, eventual triumph. After diving into it, I find myself with mixed feelings, much like the readers who've come before me. It's a story with potential, but also some clear pitfalls.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise. A submissive empress, seemingly trapped in a loveless marriage and surrounded by scheming individuals? It had all the hallmarks of a dramatic and engaging story. The European ambience and royalty setting certainly added to the allure.
What Works Well
The emotional core of the story is undeniably strong. The author does a good job of portraying the Empress Rodelia's vulnerability and her quiet struggle for dignity. I found myself empathizing with her plight, even when her passivity frustrated me. The angst is palpable, and if you're a reader who enjoys a good dose of emotional turmoil, this novel delivers. The conspiracies and schemes also add a layer of intrigue that kept me turning the pages.
Areas of Concern
My biggest reservation lies with the male lead, the Grand Duke. While some readers might find him intriguing, I found his actions questionable and his motives unclear. I'm not entirely convinced that his intentions are truly in the Empress's best interest. This uncertainty makes it difficult to fully invest in the potential romance. Also, the Empress's submissive nature, while understandable given her upbringing, can be a bit tiresome at times. I'm hoping to see her develop more agency as the story progresses, but for now, it's a point of frustration.

Final Verdict
"The Abandoned Empress Will Not Return" is a complex and emotionally charged novel with a lot of potential. While the weak female lead and questionable male lead are definite drawbacks, the compelling plot and the promise of future character development might be enough to keep me reading. If you enjoy stories with strong romantic and tragic elements, you might find this one worth your time – just be prepared for some potentially frustrating character dynamics.
