Synopsis

[No CP romance + orphan girl fleeing famine + mind-reading + political intrigue + empress] (The heroine is ruthless. She kills someone in the very first chapter, so don’t read if that bothers you.) The heroine, Yun Sheng, flees famine in the early part of the story, launches a rebellion in the middle, and becomes emperor in the end. A severe drought strikes Dingzhou, leaving the people homeless and destitute. What should have been an ordinary drought becomes the spark that tears the Great Shuo Dynasty apart. An orphan fleeing famine, she accidentally kills the governor of Yizhou while trying to save the women of Guiyue House. If she’s going to die either way, she might as well raise a rebellion and fight for a way to survive. If the world is unjust, then she’ll be the one to turn it upside down! Compassion has no place in command, and sentiment cannot build an enterprise. From county to commandery to province to kingdom, she advances step by step toward the throne. Women are every bit as capable as men. Under her leadership, the women of Guiyue House begin new lives and help build the flourishing Great Yun Dynasty. “The governor of Yizhou is dead. Charge in, and we’ll fight our way to survival!” “I am Yun Sheng. In recent years, the Great Shuo Dynasty has suffered one disaster after another, yet the court has done nothing, while oppression and exploitation grow ever worse. I despise the corruption of the court. I lead the Yun family rebel army, based at Mount Tianmu in Qingyang County, and have marched south to rise in rebellion. Today, we beheaded the governor of Yizhou and hung his head above the city gate, then captured Hengchu City in a single assault!” “The Yun family rebel army has occupied Hengchu City with our lord. We must not oppress the people of the city, violate the teachings of the sages, or defy moral principles. We kill only corrupt officials! We kill only corrupt officials!” “If the court were not corrupt and those in power not incompetent and unjust, if the people were not suffering unbearably, who would rebel? And who would answer the call? I am simply following Heaven’s will: ‘Punish the unrighteous and execute the tyrant.’ The people answer as one!” The heroine needs time to grow and awaken. If you don’t want to read about her fleeing famine, start from Chapter 30.

Any Traditional Stories About a Protagonist Leading a Rebellion to Conquer the World?

My favorite thing about novels where the protagonist becomes emperor is the emperor wielding absolute power: all under heaven belongs to the emperor, and everyone within its borders is his subject. I want a novel set in a traditional feudal dynasty. I really hate stories where the emperor also tries to introduce democracy or constitutional monarchy. Recommendations, please!
