Looking for books similar to With the Esteemed Minister System in Hand, I Disguise Myself as a Man in Ancient Times. Are there any stories with strong female leads?

I want to read about women building careers without relying on anyone else, only

This is one of the best quality books I have ever read. The author is simply too insightful and has a great pattern. It is incredible to write such a time-travel classic. Unconventional and unique.
This is the only novel in which I still don't know who the hero is after reading more than 500 chapters. It's comparable to Soldier Assault, haha
This is a novel that has more than 700 chapters and has yet to be written about the sparks between the male and female protagonists~ I have already thought about it hundreds of times~
It's super good-looking. This kind of story about a woman pretending to be a man and climbing up the ladder step by step is so good-looking. I just like the ambitious heroine⊙ω⊙
The title of this book sounds like an ordinary novel about strong women, but now that I have read less than half of it, I find that this book is definitely more exciting than Xi Huazhi. This is another excellent book that I have read after Xi Huazhi.
It's so good, wow, so good. After the finale, it will be even more perfect if I write about the lives of the protagonists after they go to sea! ! !
It's really well written. I'm a grown man who never watches female videos. I heard the author's wife in the car was a bit spicy. I thought it was interesting and lively, so I read the novel. After reading it, I was still unsatisfied. I found this book. The characters are vivid, the storyline is wonderful, echoing back and forth, and the mistakes are unexpected and reasonable. I have read 20 novels. Over the years, I have read everything from How to Make a Badass, to Killing Immortals, to Boiling Beast Blood, Wolf Fang to Fighting Po, and Immortal Rebellion. As I grow older, I gradually like urban historical novels. Maybe it is because of different needs. From the excitement of youth and ignorance, to the arrogant fairy heroes in teenagers, to the sophistication of middle-aged people, I have to learn to adapt to this society and learn to be thick and black.
How should I put it, all the praises have been given by other book friends, I can only say: This is a real strong female novel! It's not about beauty, not about being silly, not about Mary Sue... Everything the heroine gets is truly achieved through her own hard work. At the same time, every character in it, including supporting roles, including soy sauce passers-by, is very vivid and flesh-and-blood. The most important thing is that the author has very upright views. His reputation may not be as great as some other articles, but I personally think it is the number one good article. Please give it a thumbs up!
The plot is very exciting and compact. I have watched it for several days, but it is indeed similar to what others in the comment area have said: 1. All the male characters in this novel have names, while the female characters are all called Da Er San Four Five Six Seven Eight Niang. Only when women face key plot points will they add their names. 2. The author of the mischievous male characters will find a slightly whitewashed plot for them later [face covering]. The writing of the female characters is very ungrateful. I feel like the author is an enemy. Especially the qj plot was very uncomfortable for me. 3. Never read the comments. People who have watched it before especially like spoilers. One spoiler after another made me almost lose interest in reading. When I recommended this book to my friend, she asked me if she was the heroine. I didn't know how to answer for a moment. Is a woman who dresses as a man a heroine? Don't know how to answer. Friends who like plot can still play it. It's too much, so I'll re-rate it, and if I rate it four stars, I'll be chased [laughs]
Qingqing is beautiful alone! ! ! Throughout the whole book, the comments section was always arguing about who is the male protagonist and why there must be a male protagonist and an emotional line. Originally, the whole tone was Cheng Qing's career map, where he could have friends, relatives, confidants, wine and meat. Qingqing is a very independent and flexible person with a grand vision. The difficulties in the early and mid-term are very real, not just cheating. The introduction of modern knowledge in the end makes the ending happy. After all, it was said at the beginning that he was a master of science before time travel. The story does not say that Cheng Qing is very proficient. I just know that he probably learned it through trial and error. The author's narrative ability is very strong, and he is also very humorous. He is often moved one moment and broken the next. The logic is strong and the pitfalls are almost endless. The addition of descriptions of psychological activities makes each character interesting and vivid. Not to mention the protagonists, the portrayal of the minor characters is really good, He Wan, Xiaopan, etc. All impressed me deeply. It can only be composed if there are protagonists and supporting roles
