“I only regret being born a princess, unable to ascend to the imperial throne.”

(Note: This is not mindless wish fulfillment. There are no idiots in the story, almost everyone is villainous, and the female lead herself is a villain who stays bad to the very end.)
I won't cry. I'll smile as I watch you cry, and live to see you die.
My father was stripped of his position as crown prince, but I refused to accept it.
So, during the late emperor's mourning period, my father and I plotted the first palace coup. I provoked King Chu on my father's behalf, killed the crown prince, and reaped the rewards as everyone else fought.
But my father nominated my young uncle to ascend the throne.
I joined forces with my aunt and disgruntled officials to stir up trouble in Chang'an. At last, my father appeared at just the right moment to purge the emperor's corrupt advisers.
In the second palace coup, my young uncle was forced to abdicate.
In the end, I was implicated in a scandal involving the crown prince. Even though I knew I was doomed, I still managed to turn the tables on the empress.
I was made a marquis and appointed chancellor, but then banished to my fief.
On the night my royal father died, news reached my fief. I looked at my daughter's face.
“I haven't lost yet. If this empress dowager isn't good enough, we'll just replace her with another.”
