A Back Alley in the Imperial Court

Strong Female Lead and Political Scheming! No One Acts Like an Idiot!

I don’t want a female lead disguised as a man! She should be unbelievably clever or have maxed-out combat skills. She could be a princess, a martial artist, or anything else. She shouldn’t rely on the male lead’s help. Using her own strength as a woman, she turns the situation upside down. The process can be difficult, but in the end she should achieve her ideals.

The More Male-Lead Tragedies, the Better
