With the Empress-Raising System in Hand, Don't Cry, Little Imperial Brother

A powerful heroine + career-driven + political intrigue + decisive and ruthless + satisfying wish fulfillment + multiple men. The men serve much the same purpose as women do in male-oriented fiction, and there is a romance plot.

In a world ruled by men, the heroine defies fate and blazes a path forward.

The System is there to assist.

Well... so are the men.
