After Her Father Rebels: The Legitimate Daughter Plots to Seize the Realm

[Strong female lead + decisive and ruthless + power struggle in chaotic times]

At just ten years old, Shen Xun witnessed her father betroth her eldest sister as the second wife of the heir to the Prince of Qin’s estate. After seeing it all, Shen Xun secretly vowed to take control of her own fate. From then on, she gave up all her carefree playtime and studied commerce under her uncle, devoting herself to building her own power. She gathered talented people, raised a private army, founded the Tianji Pavilion, and established her place in the world.

Seven years later, the realm fell into chaos. The Qiang people invaded from the northern frontier, righteous uprisings broke out in the eastern wilderness, the princes of the southern mountains seized territory and proclaimed themselves rulers, the Grand Commandant in the central region plotted to usurp the throne, and Shen Xun’s father raised troops in Xiling and rebelled.

Shen Xun led her private army to swiftly reclaim Qing and Su prefectures, drive out the foreign invaders in the north, recover the lands in the south, and put down rebellions in the east, restoring peace and prosperity to the realm.
