Synopsis

[No romance + thoroughly villainous heroine + power struggles and ambition + everyone gets their comeuppance] On my fifth birthday, I knelt in a pool of blood, watching the light fade from my birth mother’s eyes. That night, I didn’t go mad. I simply buried my former self with my own hands. After ten years lying low, I hid my fangs and played the most docile lamb, while secretly turning the entire Chancellor’s residence into my personal slaughterhouse. They said women were born weak and should devote themselves to their husbands and children. I laughed. I would use my father’s power, my elder sister’s marriage, and my younger half-sister’s life to carve out my first path in blood. Later, I entered the palace, not to become a favored consort, but to be the blade hanging over the emperor’s head. I made the empire my chessboard and the princes my pawns, dancing alongside a ruthless warlord from a rival kingdom. Everyone thought I was a vine clinging to men, never realizing I was the towering demon tree that had drained every last drop of nourishment around me. Don’t talk to me about mercy. Beneath my throne, there are no living souls, only bones. And don’t expect me to fall in love with anyone. Anyone who stands in my way dies. Anyone who loves me… dies even sooner.

Looking for Female-Dominant Society Novels With Men Fighting for the Emperor’s Favor!

It started when I heard the voice-over for the recently popular Tao Heihei line, “What gives you the right to judge my daughter?” A male blogger did it, and it was really compelling. Suddenly I wanted to know if there are any serious palace-intrigue stories with a male protagonist. I’ve never read anything like that before, so I’m asking for recommendations.
