Matriarchy: I Usurped the Throne and Became a Tyrant

[No fixed CP + System + strong heroine + palace and household intrigue + love rivals] What should I do after transmigrating into a debauched, tyrannical princess, when the stupid System keeps forcing me to usurp the throne? Dotingly favored on the surface, yet a target for everyone. Everyone fears me and keeps their distance. Faced with all that, Duan Xinghe was delighted. “Debauched and tyrannical? Now that's something I can work with.” ☞ She secretly formed factions and toyed with the ministers' sons. She spent all night plotting rebellion with the beautiful consorts of the empress. And she even took the time to comfort her poor younger brother. You have to admit, boys in a matriarchal world are really obedient. ☞ Later, Duan Xinghe grumbled, “Stupid System, is this what you meant when you said boys in a matriarchal world are obedient?” Poisoning, framing, feigned suffering, forming cliques and factions: every kind of palace intrigue was cropping up. ☞ Fine, fine. Go ahead and make a fuss, as long as you don't manage to kill me. Her goal, after all, was to [Become a God]. ☞ But why was her path to becoming a tyrant getting farther and farther away? ☞ Reading guide: 1. This is the second book in the He Bao series. You can read it without having read the first; some of the worldbuilding is briefly explained. 2. The heroine is beautiful, powerful, and ruthless. Nothing is as it seems. If you want a kind heroine, please look elsewhere! 3. “No CP” doesn't mean there is truly no CP. If you want a strictly no-CP story, proceed with caution! 4. This is a strictly matriarchal world, with women above men. No gender equality, and no flipping things around to make men superior to women in certain countries. 5. Don't ask why the male admirers fall for her so quickly. This ties into a major plot thread. All of them will be unable to help falling passionately in love with the heroine; the reason will be revealed in the Divine Realm arc. → For the first world, see: A Rich Woman's Journey Through Currency Devaluation
