About New One Studio
We are an independent team focused on interactive storytelling, dedicated to innovatively blending Eastern culture with interactive media. In 2019, everyone who journeyed with The Invisible Guardian shared its BAFTA glory, reaffirming that great interactive storytelling can truly stay in people's hearts. Over the past few years, we have immersed ourselves in the prosperous ancient Chinese dynasty, brewing an entirely new story. Road to Empress not only depicts the deadly beauty of Eastern intrigue, but it also brings the audience a battlefield that will test your wisdom and courage.
Two works, different stories, one shared vision—we hope users worldwide can once again experience the charm of traditional Eastern culture through our story. It will serve as a bridge across cultures, bringing a brand-new experience to every user who supports FMV works.
In Road to Empress, you will personally write the epic of a ruling empress. Road to Empress I focuses on her legendary origins—watch how she transforms from an unknown girl into someone who survives the deadly power struggles of a crisis-ridden court through wisdom and courage, gradually emerging as a formidable force.
In Road to Empress II, you return as a seasoned master, and the stakes are brutally higher. Pull the strings from the shadows, keep your ministers in check, and unify an empire amid calculated scheming. You will write every word of a golden age yourself!

好玩
好久没有这么酣畅淋漓的看一场宫斗剧了,感觉像玩了一个剧本杀,没想到服化道和演员演技这么在线。很喜欢这种有时间节点选择可以让你不用重头开始选就能看到所有的剧情!!玩完以后也是久久的戒断,最后我想说4599!!我看看女帝篇 给我礼泰是怎么be的!!恨!!!!
Muy divertido, amo este juego. Es el único que he visto de este formato que no este dirigido al publico masculino y que esta en español, simplemente amo, estoy esperando que el 2 este en descuento para comprármelo.
符合历史
第一次对游戏做那么长的评价 这是一款尊重历史的好游戏 很喜欢里面的演员们 剧情上最让人难受的是里面的高阳和辩机虽然知道结局 还是想更改变 结果不管做什么都无力回天 那种我站在故事开头看着他们必然破碎的结局 好难走出来 从一开始的质疑到理解高阳 真的太好哭了 但45和95真的好难选啊 终于明白为什么一开始对4没感觉到后面有一种想4和9 一起拥有的感觉
천명이 이미 정해졌다 하나, 그 길을 걷는 이는 스스로이니라. 이것은 주어진 운명에 머무르지 않고, 스스로 길을 개척하는 자의 이야기다.
Such a good story and the actors are all stunning
Awesome looks and good storyline. I recommend it to others:)
美丽的
死了很多次,很爽
