[Wish Fulfillment, Overpowered Protagonist, Everyone's Favorite, No Couple, Female Disguised as a Man, 1VN]
She disguises herself as a man partway through the story. Some people know the protagonist's gender, but for various reasons, they keep it to themselves.
Reborn in ancient times, how could I not become emperor? Am I even human if I don't?
I'm destined to be emperor!
The Great Yong Dynasty has a civil service examination system in name, but aristocratic clans still dominate politics.
Before her grandmother died, she passed on eighty years of inner power to her. When she was fifteen, her grandfather passed on half of his inner power to her as well, giving her a hundred years of inner power.
And that's not even mentioning how she'd trained hard since the age of eight, determined to ascend the throne one day and get justice for her mother against the scumbag who wronged her.
Bearing her grandmother's last wishes, her grandfather's hopes, her mother's foolish belief in love, and her aunt's support, she sets out on the road to power.
Her first step out into the world: becoming someone's bodyguard.
Content warning: The protagonist is usually gentle and refined, but strikes hard with her blade. The person she loves most is her mother. With everyone else, she is more interested in using them than liking them.
She's 175 centimeters tall, weighs 135 jin, and is muscular, not delicate or soft.
Bonus Scene
Inside Qingyang Hall, Jiang Qingyue said, "Examine Father's body thoroughly!" Qingzhu handed Yang Yi a sheet of paper.
After carefully studying the writing on the page, Yang Yi was shocked. This wasn't a medical examination. It looked more like an autopsy!
She followed the instructions on the paper, examined the emperor, and wrote down her findings.
Jiang Qingyue glanced over the page and smiled faintly. "Miss Yang's medical skills are no worse than her mother's. You can report to the Imperial Medical Bureau today."
Yang Yi's eyes widened. Before she could react, an imperial decree appeared before her.
Everyone knew that Princess Yong'an had beaten three imperial physicians to death on the grounds of safeguarding the emperor's health. The Imperial Medical Bureau was in a panic and desperately short-staffed. They would be glad to have someone else take the blame.
For her, this was an opportunity.
