About
You've probably never experienced anything like this—A palace adventure shaped by your moves!

Road to Empress I has gained widespread popularity among audiences.
The new content, Road to Empress II, invites you into a gripping battle of court politics. Let's all witness a legendary empress rise to new glory!

Shot entirely on elaborately constructed sets with 4K cinematic lighting and direction, the story breathes stunning life into the grandeur of Eastern palaces. Every detail has been crafted with care: the delicate texture of silk brocade, the glint of swaying golden hairpins, soul-stirring traditional music. They all come together in a showcase of classical Eastern aesthetics at their finest. The cast features acclaimed actors including Kuan Hung, Evie Huang, Zeawo, and Hana Lin. Bigger, more breathtaking scenes and richer, more nuanced performances ensure that this golden age isn't simply confined to the screen; it plays out right before your eyes. This is the Eastern aesthetic feast of "ruling the world," and you'll live every moment of it!

Tired of being swept along by fate? In this story, you will step into a thrilling struggle of palace intrigue and political maneuvering. Starting as a nun in Ganye Temple, you break through the restraints imposed by rival factions, and eventually climb to the very peak of power. Experience the mind of a ruler—plan ahead, balance power at court, and carve a blazing path to the throne.

With around 1,000 minutes of carefully crafted live-action content, you are drawn into a sweeping story of ambition, danger, and survival. In a court where the situation can change at any moment, every move you make and every line you choose can set off a series of consequences. Twists and suspense, step by step, you will take control of the empire and rewrite the fate of a dynasty with your own hands!
Support the characters you love most or the ones you have complex feelings about, and decide who will rise to the top of the global popularity rankings. The outcome is yours to decide.

Say goodbye to passive dialogue and hello to a fully upgraded interactive experience. Power is not just an empty word; it is a battle of wits at your fingertips:
Review Memorials: With a flick of your writing brush, witness the myriad lives of your realm. Address endless curious petitions and civic tales, craft clever verdicts to resolve predicaments, and bring prosperity to all subjects.
Issue Edicts: Your imperial brush decides ministers' glory or ruin. Blend mercy and rigor to reward merit and punish fault; grant titles or strip dignities, proving your sagacity in governing courtiers.

At the end of your story, you'll receive a fully personalized imperial personality trait sketch: a deep dive into your scheming style, crisis decision-making, and methods of control. Are you the cool, versatile operator who balances power and passion—the "Deadly Arsenic Trioxide"? The loyal, ride-or-die romantic who charges headfirst through fire—the "Romantic Datura"? Or the ruthless high-achiever who lets nothing stand in the way of ambition—the "Overachiever Lurid Bolete"? When the story ends, meet your truest self and share your exclusive empress profile with the world!
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!

我一开始根本不get礼泰线,因为95总有种稳稳的幸福,但是玩完45完全懂这种说不清道不明的感觉,魏王全是真心,但总觉得都是算计,最后发现何止是真心!太好吃了
95感情真的太美好了!接纳彼此的所有缺点和不完美,携手并肩一起往前走。
作为一个人玩游戏三十年的人我从来没有玩过这么垃圾的游戏我辛辛苦苦跑了一年的外卖只为购买这款游戏去见高阳一面但是高阳的戏份却如次只少好不容易见到了高阳结果不到半个小时就下线了这导致我十分的愤怒,我从来没有如次愤怒过,我的愤怒犹如火山一般爆开,愤怒充满了我的大脑,我将狠狠的牢记这份愤怒,制作组你彻底的惹怒了我,我将一辈子诅咒你点外卖没有筷子,上厕所没有卫生纸,每次过马路都是红灯,外卖的饮料必撒,出门吃饭每次都要排队,外卖里有苍蝇,夏天被蚊子嗡嗡一晚上,上厕所皮鼓被蚊子叮大包,我将安排顶尖狙击手狙击你,汤里面有毛毛,出门被猪咪围攻,上厕所拉不出市,坐地铁必等,开车被梅团外卖车撞击,坐飞机坠机,我可是和平六战神,你敢打和平经营我必狙击你,工作室你们每个人都逃不了干系,我将化身恶鬼一直骚扰你们:steamthumbsdown::steamthumbsdown::steamthumbsdown:
每个人物线都收尾得很好!有圆满也有遗憾,贴合人物命运,看完特别耐人回味。
太好玩了 我在男朋友家玩的不想回家 玩的废寝忘食 一定要玩!!!!!
后半段表现拉完了
한편의 중드를보는것같아서 눈과귀가즐거운게임이고 여제까지 되려고 많이도 죽었습니다. 툭하면 죽어서 첨에는 짜증났는데 지금은 막 스킵 눌러서 개임 합니다. 화면 ,캐릭터 스토리 줗은데 스토리는 조금 줄여도 될것 같 아여
制作精良
荔枝不强势压人,而是靠谋划慢慢收拢人心,荔枝的智慧也很让人敬佩,两个人真的很般配。
全成就,除了10次祈福外,游戏内也全成就 作为第二部作品,我看不出除了背靠大公司之外对于第一部缺点的任何改善,追求100%的玩家后续因为不同选项但同一个且无法跳过的场景有多破坏体验,而且作为互动影游,选项的单一,玩法的欠缺。 最重要的硬伤剧情,感觉什么都想要,什么都要不到,高扬第一步一看伏笔很深,第二步打了个酱油就下线,还有就是“影响深远选项”区分度不高,隔着好几张纯膈应人。 镜头,服化道没有问题,甚至还去国外宣发,但如果这些现有的问题不去改善,那只是一个空有外表的视频罢了。
