🤷‍♂️publishing can’t ask us to write bestsellers for them on no money

sima yi: why does that strategist gao yizhi call you babygirl?

shimin: how about we stop talking for a little while.

(the idea came from here)

I just finished Iron Widow and I will accept NO CRITIQUE of this book. It is amazing. I love having a strong yet unhinged female lead who dives straight into a villain arch. I love the discussions of gender and misogyny. I love the references to real people in Chinese history. I love the nods to Chinese mythology. I love the true love triangle that turns into a poly partnership. I love the twist at the end. I 👏🏻 love 👏🏻 all 👏🏻 of 👏🏻 it 👏🏻. I cannot wait to read Heavenly Tyrant!!!!

Wu Zetian was not written to stay still and keep quiet.

Of course, that's the entire plot of the story, correct? To loudly fight against oppressive systems?

Zetian will one day be free of all forms of confinement💛🧡

Heavenly Tyrant's promo art is so awesome and pretty and I just weep it got delayed again (possibly?) to 2025....

I cannot explain how well executed the piloting Chrysalises is done and how brilliantly the reveal as to why girls die is done. Iron Widow has a lovely writing style anyway and the yin-yang void space? The working in sync? The reveal as to it being built into the system that the seat for the girls is more likely to kill them? It's a wonderful read throughout. Seeing how the characters develop and work with one another will never not be a delight. @xiranjayzhao, your book is a masterpiece and I am ecstatic for Heavenly Tyrant.
