As you can see she can't even get a damn divorce and you expect her to dispose the emperor and his mistress? Revenge and satisfaction arent the only things to consider here, theres the nobles, how would they feel if they had a woman take over? Theres the commoners, how would they feel if the empress disposed of the emperor and his mistress? Wouldn't they feel she is stepping out of her place? How would losing their emperor and only have an empress affect their empire? I also hate how long this is taking but its atleast not suddently pulling out the most bizarre plot where she goes mary sue and they all live happily ever after
This feels way to drawn out in my opinion like if I were the empress in this situation I would have disposed of the emperor and his hoe already then taken over I would have cared if I was called a tyrant or any of that but that’s just me humph
