The Princess Is Ambitious: I Beg My Imperial Father to Die!

[Ambitious heroine above all + no CP + political scheming + unifying the kingdoms]

She had seen the snow and wind on the frontier, battlefields strewn with bones, a court rife with deceit, and bloodless struggles for power.

Reborn into a new life, Yu Hanzhao no longer wanted to be at the mercy of others, helpless as a fish on a chopping block.

She would be the one to wield the blade. She would turn every minister under heaven into her weapon, and make them fight for her with unstoppable force.

A struggle for imperial power?

Emperor of Southern Wei: “You are a chess piece, and I am the one who moves it.”

Yu Hanzhao: “The world is the chessboard, and I am the one who plots the game. Father, prepare to die.”

A battle for the throne?

A certain prince: “Rebellion? Our very existence is rebellion! You’re no exception!”

Yu Hanzhao: “Once I take the throne, I am the rightful ruler. How can that be rebellion?”

A race to rule the realm?

A rival kingdom: “It’s still anyone’s game.”

Yu Hanzhao: “Southern Wei is the forest, and the other kingdoms are its prey!”

Yu Hanzhao’s lifelong wish is to be free from anyone’s control. Once she takes the throne, she is condemned as a woman usurping a man’s place, and the ministers threaten to die in protest.

She surveys the realm with a laugh. “If that’s the case, then die. It wouldn’t hurt to replace you all.”

Witness how a princess schemes her way to the throne, and how a woman rises beneath the strictures of feudal society.
