Court Intrigue + Empress + Strengthening the Nation + Mad Beauty
The male lead is pretty standard. The female lead is anything but.
The female lead is a little mentally ill. Flying into a rage and killing people is nothing unusual for her.
This is a power fantasy with a strong female lead. The male lead is under her thumb from start to finish.
A delicate, innocent heroine? No! She's the empress who will bring down the System and the tyrant!
To make Chen Yue transmigrate into a book, the System destroyed her family and sent her into the book as Chen Roujia, a princess of a small kingdom. It also forced her to win over the male lead. She buried her boundless hatred, appearing on the surface to be the male lead's most devoted lapdog, a gentle beauty who filled the System's progress bar. In secret, she was a powerful princess in her own country. She believed that truth only existed within firing range. Renaming herself Chen Youjia, she recruited talented officials, built an arsenal, solved the food shortage, and strengthened her army. She would take her nation from the weakest in the land to the ruler of a unified, chaotic realm.
While the male lead still looked down on her as a woman with petty ideas, Chen Youjia had already swept her sword across every kingdom. At her coronation, tens of thousands of officials bowed their heads. As the System rejoiced over its successful mission and gained a human body, the male lead congratulated himself on his irresistible charm. Then Empress Chen Youjia personally brought out the hand-crafted musket she'd made, and aimed it at the System with a crazed, cold, merciless expression. “Welcome to the human world!” She pulled the trigger. Bang! She offered the gods up in sacrifice and avenged her loved ones.
System, is that “real body” forged from your master's kingdom and the blood of my loved ones still hot to the touch?
