I was attracted at the book cover and synopsis when I choose to read this, and I was pulled into this book from the very beginning. I adore the female characters in the book, except for the antagonist, of course. The author is really good at storytelling. I can imagine what was going on and felt the characters pain. However, I do hope that there will be more dialogue as well. It was slightly confusing when the story switched from Rosella's to another character's since I was just beginning to get into Rosella's story and was curious to know what will be her fate. I thought it was a bit too sudden. I wouldn't mind it if the story had progress farther. But, since Roman's story is pretty fascinating, I don't mind much. This is a good read. I will definitely let this story in my library.

This review is part of a swap and I've read up to the current posted chapter 13. Updates Works for me. Writing I thought your writing improved around Chapter 9 compared to earlier chapters. There were less grammar issues, although there were some minor errors here and there which editing a few times could help. Prior to that, there were mixing of past and present tenses. There were some missing punctuations or improper use of it… For example: Original >> "It's my honor to serve His Majesty and the Helian Empire! We will try our best to keep serving the nation", claimed the General and the thousands of soldiers behind him cheered as loudly as they could! It was a sight that could inspire anyone. Edited >> "It's my honor to serve His Majesty and the Helian Empire! We will try our best to keep serving the nation," claimed the General, resulting in loud cheers from thousands of soldiers behind him. It was a sight that could inspire anyone. The comma goes before the closing quotation for dialogues (this should be done before every following dialogue tags). The part about the soldiers was a bit of a run-on. You could either place a period after “General” and start a new sentence or combine with the comma as I’ve done in the edited example. Example 2: Original >> "And make that ***** wear the clothes that I will give you. Come with me" She instructed her personal maid, Deborah. Edited >> "And make that ***** wear the clothes that I will give you. Come with me," she instructed her personal maid, Deborah. ^I saw this happened quite a lot in the story. Maybe it’s just an issue of more editing needed? Characters Empress Rosella is definitely not someone you should mess with if you can’t deal with the consequences, but it suits her position as empress. Especially with all the scheming going on from the concubines, all vying for the empress position. It’s good that she’s not submissive and docile, otherwise she would be dethroned pretty quickly. I can’t feel sorry for the emperor. Not a very bright emperor either so he deserves to lose his power lol. It’s a winner-take-all kind of game. I like Alexandria but Roman is quite ridiculous. He threatened to kill her at the thought of her being with another man? Well, Roman, you just slept with another woman and then calling your wife nonsensical. She hasn’t threatened to kill you yet. World & Story I know it’s a historical romance but for some reason, my brain kind of switches between eastern and western historical. Whenever I read the character’s name, it sounds like a western fiction to me but then all those harem fighting and scheming reminds me of all those Chinese palace dramas lol. I do enjoy reading face-slapping once in a while and seeing how all those arrogant, conniving concubines end up getting a taste of their own medicine. I hope to see more world building though because a lot of it right now seems to be catfighting between the females for the male’s attention. Overall a pretty decent read for those who are looking for harem/scheming/face-slapping stories.

Lovely. From the summary to the current chapter, I was hopelessly drawn in. I ached when Rosella ached, and my heart went out to her. Strong, dignified and resolute. The kind of Female Protagonist I love the most! Although the story is not too far in yet, I feel overwhelming potential from it, and it was a remarkably enjoyable read. I loved how the scenes drew me in and made me feel like I was there beside them. Just a suggestion, but for the title of 'YOUR BETRAYING LOVE' you may consider changing it to 'Your Betraying Love' instead. Reading it in caps made me feel like Rosella was shouting at me, whereas with the smaller caps it feels more like cutting words and a calm tone instead. Love the story! Keep up the good work, author! :)

Although this book has only just started, I am very optimistic. The title is concise, but the content is not simple. The plot of the story is full of ups and downs, which fascinates people. I hope the author can persist in updating and bring good stories to more people.

Your story is not bad but I'm sorry to say that I don't really like reading about all this royal love kind of thing.But one thing I can say that your story is quite well written as well as the story line.But I got a little confuse in between the story so it took me time to figure out.

Came from forums... Writing Quality: 4 The writing is pretty good. It's just that it's 'dirty', and by that, I mean exactly that. Many minor mistakes, but proofreading it at least once will definitely clean it significantly. Have to also improve on those wordings of yours, some are a bit insignificant. Updates: 4 Pretty good update. Story Development: 3 (or 2.6 to be exact) The pacing is too fast. Really really fast. And for a romance novel with a whole lot of drama, That is bad. Although the beginning, I admit, was a bit intriguing. I honestly have to stop reading for some time and figure out what was happening. For romance novels, the early chapters should introduce us to the world and actually give us an idea on "what to expect". However, in your case, you just straight out start whipping the plot up which is slightly overwhelming. And writing it that way, it felt like reading a summary of a 50-page story. Basically, your first chapter intrigued me, but after that, the plot decided to punch that 800 miles per hour boost, and the anticipation I was accumulating died at that point. Character Design: 3 The design was well-done. The characters were "alive" and one can really feel the emotions that they are portraying Not much to say here since you've done a pretty good job fleshing them out. Just need to work on their dialogue a bit 'cause there are times where I cringe at what they're saying.

The story just keeps getting better, the Empress is a fearless woman who is not afraid of peeling people's skin off and personally carving a crown on their face. Don't mess with her. Now there is a new character in sight, I wonder who he is?

I scrolled for the next chapter and there was none... I was really sad and said 'That's it? '. 😂 That's how much fun I have in reading this novel. And I am a sucker for palace kind of story. It reminded me of a chinese historical drama 'story of yunxi palace'. The plot was different but i could feel the same vibe from both novel n drama. Writing quality is good. I dont have much to complain as English is basically a foreign language to me. However, I have no difficulty in understanding the story narrated by our author. So, no big issue here. Stability of updating: I'm not going to touch on this as of now for I only knew about the novel today. I'll be sure to check on this later (😂 am joking) coz this will be in my library. Story development: the story kept switching between the present and the past (empress monologue/recollection of past events) and it gave details on the characters'personality at present life. I think it hasn't developed much as we still at the beginning of the story. Character design: from these few chapters i have a rough understanding of the empress. Not much on the other characters. But, I cant wait to know more about our ML. World: I actually dont get what world background is. Someone please enlighten me. 😅 Overall, this novel is a well written novel. Good Job author! 👍👏

I read all the chapters in one go T-T The emotions are beautiful and they make complete sense. Of course, grammar is a bit off but that's nothing to worry about. I love the plot and you can see the clear despair. Lots of mysteries surrounding this Nicholas but thank god he isn't the ML >:0 no cheating bastards allowed!! On the other hand, I can't wait till we find out what the r/ship between Rosella and the ML is :3

I have seen too many Empress, King's and Harem's Chinese dramas, so am not new to this genre. However, the Author of this novel manages to catch my curiosity and interest, with her fantastic story telling. The way she breathed life into each character is intriguing and impressive! A nice historical story worth reading. Worth a 5 star! Looking forward for more chapters to read. Good job Author! Impressed me more!

The chapters are easy to read since they are ****** enough to grasp, however the flow can be a little confusing, with the flashbacks and all, and who's present at the current setting, for example I thought first that the brother general was at the palace but it was clarified that it was only a flashback. Overall, since it's easy to follow, it's also easy to get hooked. The plot is promising. I would want to know the empress' fate, and the reason behind the change in Prince Nicholas' attitude and behavior, and why he did not want to be reminded of his past. I would also suggest to define the world background more, i.e. where on earth did it take place or maybe it's a makeup world. It's hard to deduce because the names were quite western but the emperor-empress thing is quite eastern, I would say, or maybe I'm wrong. :) Dunno, just a bit confused. I like how the FL can be cold, elegant, dignified and ruthless. She's a slayer. :)

I must say, I expected something more cheese despite the synopsis, how wrong was I. The story still doesn't have many chapters, but what it has shown is very good. It does not betray the synopsis, as it is really filled with intrigue and politics. If you like historical fictions you should give it a try. Even If you don't like to read romance don't let that dissuade you from reading this novel. The whole romance is surrounded by a solid plot with political schemes and the story of the characters.

Really love your novel. It's different, in the sense that you're building up the background even before anything else. It's heartbreaking to see the sort of betrayal that she had suffered and the life she had to endure. A strong woman who deserves to be appreciated and loved. I hope those who hurt her would die a thousand deaths!

Based on your synopsis and the chapters so far, the story had a lot of potential and I’m looking forward to reading more in the future and seeing the development over time. The only negative comment I have is about the update rate, but that’s understandable and doesn’t detract from the story’s strong points.

I love novels about empresses and drama so this was a win. I tHOUGHT this might have a HEA bUT FROM THE LOOKS OF IT NAH. I'm totally in love with cold MC's, and I can't wait for the ML to be destroyed. I dont want her to die but I want her to die because I want him to live life as an empty shell. I want to watch him lose everything near and dear to his heart. nO I WANT MY GIRL ROSE TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE WHILE HE WATCHES ON THE SIDELINES NOT AT ALL INVOLVED. I got hurted, I felt, I want more. Please give us more author!! ok now critique - - - Writing: Not bad, but could use a bit more polishing. I'm also not a native english speaker so I get the struggle lmao. There's just a few issues with tenses. The flow gets a little stunted (abrupt with changing scenes so its a little whiplashy) but enjoyable. Really, my maim issue is that its a lot of tell, not show. I also face problems like that in my own novel so its alright, we can only improve!! Story Development: A little choppy because of the flashbacks. Instead of the divisions, it would be nice if you used transitions instead! I love that its all taking place during the coup and tbh I wanna go and get spoilers for this book to ease by heart but oh wait no i cant bc its still ongoing :') Characters: ROSSSEEEE IS QUEEN. I WANT TO PROTECT HER WITH MY HEART AND SOUL. I WANT HER TO BE HAPPY WITH KIDDOS AND A MAN THAT WILL MAKE HER FEEL SO MUCH MORE THAN THE BASTARD. --kill the bastard pls-- all the love x

Review swap: Valid till chapter 6, since the story just started there's not much that can be said. But this is my view on the first 6 chapters. Writing Quality: Like the author said, English isn't his/her first language. So the mistakes made are natural. If you wish to fix up these minor mistakes, may I offer a solution? There's good writing programmes like grammarly and pro writing aid that can help fix these minor issues. Story Development: In terms of plot, I had to re-check the title and confirm my thoughts. Seems like this novel will focus on betrayal side of romance rather than pure romance. Warning for people who dislike the angst. I wonder if there's going to be more revenge elements? Will the empress get revenge on all these people who harmed her? Character Design: Aside from the empress, the other characters haven't been developed much. Of course this is simply because the story has just begun, I'm sure as it goes by we will get insights on all the other characters. The empress Rosella emotions appear to have vanished over the years due to the indifferent treatment of the emperor, the betrayal of her first love. Right now she's very insecure and I can feel her pain reading her thoughts, she's simply tired of everything. World background: The general world background of the story is made clear in the first chapter, and each setting of where the characters are in the story is clarified through the writing. Though the flashbacks could be clearer. Overall: A great story, this is the type of genre I like to read so I'm keeping it in my library even after the review swap ends. Looking forward to more great chapters. Good luck to the author.

My impression after 6 chapters, it is an interesting story to add to my library. It's very intiguing, making me desire to read more. As for writing, there are a few grammar mistakes but it doesn't distract you from understanding the whole context. The characters are well thought-out. You are up to a great start. Keep going!

Although it's still early to review completely, I believe that you are up to a great start! It's rare for me to read a historical romance that's not eastern these days, especially on Webnovel. The Empress is an interesting character, a cold woman huh. Grammar mistakes here and there do distract people from reading, so I advise using a ****** spell check or grammarly to do a quick fix and get an editor later when you feel that you need one. Keep it up, author! >3</
