Jinjin's Flourishing Days by Zhaosheng

Though human nature has never been what it once was, deceit and scheming are the norm. Yet look at this world: through countless cycles of change, as dynasties rise and fall and endure their trials, there is still prosperity stretching for tens of thousands of miles. “Have you heard? A young county princess has just been born at the Prince of Wu'an's estate.” “That girl is truly blessed. Her father is Prince of Wu'an, who commands the armies across the four frontiers of Dayan. The regent, The Outcast beneath the emperor, is her father's sworn second brother, and the emperor is his sworn eldest brother. She's going to be something special!” Ye Cheng'an is the reincarnation of a little phoenix beloved by divine beasts. In this life, too, she has grown up in a golden nest, showered with affection. The Prince of Wu'an's estate, the regent, the reigning emperor, and even the National Preceptor's estate, which has long kept itself apart from the world, all cherish her dearly. They would give her the stars and keep the moon for themselves. That is, until the sheltered little county princess who grew up in the prince's estate ventures outside... She discovers that the world is cruel in countless ways, and that all living beings suffer. Yet beneath her deepest despair, she also glimpses the kindness that still remains, flickering like a faint light called “hope.” A girl dressed in red, riding a white tiger with golden eyes, stands poised in the breeze atop a lofty peak, silver bells on her head ringing in the wind. The vast rivers and mountains of Dayan are reflected in her eyes. She strokes the white tiger beneath her and declares: “I will bring peace and justice to Dayan, and ensure the whole realm enjoys lasting peace.” [This is a story with a strong female lead. There is a male lead and a romance, but the heroine's growth and ambitions are the main focus. After all, we've got power, looks, and money.]
