My Thoughts on The Submissive Emperor
"The Submissive Emperor" is quite the ride, a blend of political maneuvering, romance, and a dash of comedy set in ancient China. I went in expecting a typical historical BL, but it delivered something a little different, and overall, I found it a worthwhile read.
First Impressions
The initial setup is intriguing: an arranged marriage between the charismatic Lou Jing and the Crown Prince Xiao Chengjun. I was immediately drawn into the political machinations surrounding the throne and the quickly developing relationship between the two leads. The story jumps right in, and I was eager to see how their bond would evolve amidst the court intrigue.
What Works Well
What I particularly enjoyed was the dynamic between Lou Jing and Xiao Chengjun. Their relationship felt genuine, and I appreciated how they supported each other. Their interactions are often described as sweet and even a bit cheeky, with Lou Jing sometimes manipulating situations to benefit his partner. I also found the male empress a fascinating character. His backstory and his connection to the ML added a layer of depth to the story. The plot, focusing on the fight for the throne, was engaging without being overly complex.
Areas of Concern
I did notice that some readers were put off by the portrayal of women in the story. Some felt that the female characters were either underdeveloped or presented in a negative light, which detracted from their enjoyment. Also, I can see how some might find the initial stages of the relationship too rushed or the "submissive" aspect of the title misleading. It's important to note that the "submissive" part refers to the ML's role in the relationship.

Final Verdict
Despite a few shortcomings, "The Submissive Emperor" is a solid read. If you're looking for a historical BL with a focus on political intrigue, a sweet romance, and a clever protagonist, this novel is worth checking out. Just be aware of the potential issues with the portrayal of female characters and the initial pacing of the romance. I'd recommend it to those who enjoy stories with a strong focus on couple growth and a satisfying resolution to the central conflict.
