Female Lead With No Romance, and Lots of Female Characters
As the title says.
An Empress with No Romance, Unifying the World (Female-Oriented Novel!!)
I want a story about an empress, with no romance. She unifies China and conquers the world. (No romance! No romance! No romance! I said it three times because it's important! Use your eyes to read, everyone!)
Palace and Household Intrigue with Smart Characters! Rated 9.5 or Higher!
Looking for something like Zhaohua's Chaos. Rated 9.5 or higher! The female lead should be a concubine's daughter who gradually rises from a low rank, or works her way up in the prince's household. She should be clear-headed, have no love for the emperor or prince, be ambitious, ruthless, and quick to avenge herself. And she has to be smart, smart, smart! She pretends to be a pushover and then...

I've Been Into Palace Intrigue Lately 😍 Hand Over Your Top Palace Intrigue Picks!
Looking for books like *The Empress's Consort Is Cunning, and the Emperor Can't Resist Her*. The leads don't have to be each other's firsts!!! They don't have to be each other's firsts!!! But the female lead must be clear-headed and strong, not weak. Some angst is fine. I like stories set in fictionalized historical worlds, as long as the plot is well-crafted and detailed, hehe.

Power Is the Best Tonic for Women, Any Stories Like This?
Looking for Female-Led Crime and Mystery Novels with Unusual Cases
As Far as I’m Concerned, No Novel Without Romance Is Any Good!
Disagree? Come argue!!!
No Romance, No Raising Kids, No Women Fighting Each Other, No Foolishly Generous Heroine, No Excessive Kindness
Why do female-oriented transmigration stories always have the female lead either hand some guy a golden finger or raise a bunch of kids?! And why are all the female characters except the protagonist so badly written in so many stories?! Women can be exceptional too, it's not just an exception! If you hate women, don't write female-oriented fiction!!!

Beautiful (*≧∪≦), super beautiful, wow wow wow the heroine is so charming, please let me see her daughter ascend the throne, she will be the Queen Mother!
It's pretty good. The female protagonist fights multiple systems alone. The female protagonist also has an online IQ. The harem is not all female competition. It's pretty good. Moreover, the female protagonist treats the male protagonist as a tool.
It's been a long time since I read a book so carefully. Although the heroine created by the author is an indigenous person, she is really more enlightened than many time travellers. She is a real person who strives to control her own destiny.
It's a good-looking, female-friendly novel, and every female supporting character is fleshed out.
The design of the heroine is quite special. It feels very rich, with time travel, rebirth, various systems, and too many enemies. I'm afraid the heroine won't be able to cope with it.
It's very beautiful and very feminist. At first I thought it was just a palace fight, but later I saw that the plot was really big. Some people always said that it should be combined with real historical circumstances, which led to the description of women in novels always being very stereotyped. In fact, the characters presented in the novel are determined by the characters the author wants to write. I don't see some people combining reality with the charm of the male protagonist. I like the female characters in it very much. We are no longer limited to the love between men and women. They are vivid images. Women can be ambitious or flat, smart or not.
It's so beautiful. The heroine and the queen are so sweet. I feel like there's a lot of foreshadowing behind it, the heroine's son, the secrets involved in the fourth prince, the reason why the queen was so disrespectful in history, etc., Author, keep writing, I really love this book.
It's a very good book... It's because of the name. It's not a palace battle limited to the harem at all. It's about the harem and the previous dynasty, where the heroine and women take real power and come to the fore to usher in a new era. Every woman is a living person with flesh and blood fighting for her own goals. Even if she knows that she will bloom like a flower and then wither one day, she still has to work hard to get that thing, and she will not give up her rights for the so-called love. Fight with men, fight with the concepts of the times, fight with aliens, fight with women who are equally ambitious to fight for power, fight for that position and power, and fight for thousands of women
I don't know if this is my third or fourth five-star review. Love this book! ! Author you! Good! Meeting! Write! ! ! You're on the hot list in seconds! Every female character in the group portrait shines! ! ! Although there are many characters who have been disciplined with dusty pearl eyes, they did not originally want to look like this. I really like the heroine Xie Juozhen and the queen Wang Lingzheng, and I also like the good mothers who raised good women like them, these good girls. The most, most, favorite thing about the author's writing is that there is a universe, so can we update it ten times a day [sending my heart][sending my heart][sending my heart][sending my heart][sending my heart]
This is the heroine novel I have been pursuing for so long😭The author's love for his daughter is reflected in every aspect of the novel, not only giving the heroine a strong body, a smart mind, a strong ambition, a prince's daughter, etc. (If you love her, give her all the good things!) The female characters in the novel, whether they are in the heroine's camp or on the opposite side, whether they are smart and kind or stupid and vicious, are well portrayed. The vaginal load is extremely high, which makes me feel so comfortable. . . What moved me was that the backgrounds of those women who failed in court battles all wrote about why they became like this. Most of them I attributed to the oppression of the times and the torture of women by their native families. Although they are really annoying in the previous article, in the end I felt the author's pity look in the text... I can only sigh that they were tortured and turned into this. And they all have names and surnames, not just a title There are also indispensable friends on the heroine's journey forward, and they are also very good people😭The heroine who did not trust others at first (although most of them were for profit at the beginning, but this also shows that the heroine is a prudent natural politician👍🏻) Under their sincerity and nourishment, she is also willing to achieve mutual success and love with her sisters. The stories of women are so touching...
