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!

第二部比第一步虽然剧情更丰富,但是画面和口型大部分都对不上,有时候还能根据口型判断出正确的选项,体验感大大打折扣,制作组省钱也不至于这样吧。。。李泰线依旧虐。。。想要达到百分之百的进度需要完成复杂的排列组合,不追求满成就的话几小时就打完了,性价比不高。。。但因为我比较喜欢玩橙光游戏,所以对我来说总体比较满意
優點和前作一樣還是服化道最頂的影游,但是劇情質量和選項多樣化則有所下降,我能理解但作爲玩家還是希望能更進一步,因爲劇情長度其實非常長,可能有四五十年的長度要拍攝非常困難,要分支更加困難,以至於變成所有的分支都變成了死路一條,缺少了選擇多樣化帶來的不一樣,這一點是這類游戲最大的樂趣,但是這個樂趣沒有了,就很影響游戲的總體質量了。

彻底被礼泰的守护圈粉了!!!自己受了重伤也一声不吭,就怕拖累元照,把所有狼狈都藏起来,只让她安心往前闯。
一个小屁孩指责另一个幼儿园小屁孩故意行凶的时候我真的绷不住了
高扬从头到尾都没有真正害过元照,哪怕嘴上再硬心里始终有她,最好的高扬!
荔枝委屈的时候谁能狠心选对他不利的选项!!!
超好玩
魏王在封地那段我看得好难过,明明可以争的但他选择了退,这份克制太心疼了。。
