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!

멋진 마무리였습니다. 제작사의 다음 도전을 기대합니다.
不好玩
为什么都要称帝了加一段大女主觉醒内心挣扎独白。
是批皮恋爱游戏 主线讨好男人支线男人讨好我,不如直接玩乙游选择比这个多。 荔枝皇帝当的真窝囊啊跟权臣横不起来就知道对女主横。哼哼唧唧太尉送来的得去看但是我不跟他睡哦我是纯洁男大,女主之前都有孩子了在这装啥为了女主守节的死样子啊。不涉及自己利益的时候表现的啥都是为了女主好,但凡涉及利益了丝毫不让的,心里有疑问不知道直接问自己憋着一直怀疑跟没长嘴一样。 权谋就权谋恋爱就恋爱混在一起两边都好难吃。 李泰那边好一点点纯恋爱,最起码为了女主他真愿意死,就是短的像个彩蛋。 非要给皇帝陛下一个不当皇帝的自由,被冲了,一玩不当皇帝这条线啥也没有。不跟男人在一块就没有镜头,男的死了女主做的事情就旁白带过去了,不当皇帝的自由就是谈恋爱是吧
朝堂各方势力的拉扯写得无比真实!人心复杂,利弊纠缠,没有绝对的好人与坏人,权谋氛围拉满。
配乐和音效简直是神来之笔,自己掌握处事风格的感觉极佳,值得细细去摸索所有的分支。
每个配角的支线都很有味道... 每个人都有自己的遗憾和坚持 新世界游玩后观后感 看着伍元照在感业寺之后的故事,她一直都在成长,懂得如何权衡利弊,如何保住自已的命运,新世界线的元照完美结局是我心目中的最牛的女主,知道自已想要去做什么,完成了自已想要的事业及世界。新世界线的魏王和元照,看到他俩我就觉得好嗑,魏王表面高冷其实内心深处还是也渴望温暖~ 进宫游玩后观后感 元照果然聪明果断,进宫都是危机感,高扬公主那段很感动,和皇帝的戏份很多,全程姨母笑hhh 游戏的隐藏剧情很好,每个配角小人物都有剧情。 皇帝也是聪明人,也是会利用皇后……爱妻者风生水起,亏妻者百财不入。 皇帝的结局让我泪崩。 游戏剧情打造的很好,演员选角也好,服装造型在线,演技在线。好评!!!
神作!又一款国产互动影游的巅峰之作,制作如此之精良,你不火出圈,谁出圈?电影级的拍摄水准,感人至深、动人心扉的剧情,俊男美女如过江之鲫,令人目不暇接;服化道精美细致,让人沉浸入局;故事层层推进,有静有动,节奏拿捏恰如其分。女帝篇篇幅极长,唯一的遗憾可能就是没有拍摄武后称帝后直至最后逝去这一段的内容,另外战争大场面确实很难呈现,可以理解。总体来说,这完全就是距今为止国内T0级的互动影游了,绝对超越媚娘篇的大制作,综合评分我给9.5分!极度推荐!!
从初见走到现在,小5的成长线太饱满了,气场随着境遇不断变化!
