Female-ruled world + historical romance + alternate history + a touch of fantasy + competing male suitors + not an outright good person + slow-paced + doting on her husband early on, then pursuing targets under the System
Lu Xingluo transmigrates into a world where women hold power and men may have three husbands and six consorts. Yet she falls in love with the son of a wealthy official family, whose status is worlds apart from hers. Taking advantage of her adoptive parents’ life-saving favor to the Fu family, she uses it to gain entry to the family academy and spends her days exchanging love letters with Fu Yujin. The people of Xiang City all condemn her as shameless, accusing her of coveting the legitimate sixth young master. When her marriage proposal succeeds, the whole city is in an uproar. Xingluo even promises to love only him for the rest of her life. She cherishes her husband like the apple of her eye, declaring that if she ever takes a second husband, she’ll leave with nothing. (Content warning: Saintly, self-sacrificing protagonists, stay away. The heroine will have intimate scenes with many important characters, though it isn’t something she wants. Men will still be in a very poor position. The heroine is cold and indifferent by nature, and falls in love with the male lead at first sight. In her previous life, she loved Xiche, but the trauma had already left her mentally unstable. Her feelings for Lu are genuine, but she did not take poison for him. Later, the System will force this honest woman to become a heartbreaker.)
