My Life as Emperor

Rating: ☆☆☆

Title: My Life as Emperor

Author: Su Tong

Genre: Chinese Historical Fiction

Read: 13th June 2005




Comments: A young prince becomes emperor and proceeds to live a life of debuachery and senseless execution of those displease him. Although the young emperor is a right bastard, you still feel kind of sorry for him anyway, because he really didn't have anyone around him to show him he could be anything other than a right bastard. It was written by the same author as 'Raise the Red Lantern' and I think it'd be a great film. Very decadent and very brutal.

Quote: "Have you ever seen a baboon’s ass? Well. that is what your face looks like." <==The young emperor to one of his ministers.
