[Female-led power fantasy + real and fake heiresses + face-slapping and crushing scum + sharp-tongued and unhinged + rebellious to the core + no romance]
Ruan Susu is a famed woman general who defended her country and won countless battles... What nonsense! She’s a menace who steals every man’s heart, toys with every woman, and does every wicked thing under the sun! Her parents are the great generals commanding 150,000 troops on the northern frontier. Then one day, she learns that she was switched at birth, and her real mother is Princess Qinyang.
She returns to the capital to reunite with her family. Her princess mother is a meek pushover who swallows every insult, the fake heiress is a delicate, timid crybaby, and her scumbag father brings his pregnant mistress into the family home, announcing that he’ll elevate her to equal-wife status or divorce the princess.
Ruan Susu punches her scumbag father, then casually exposes the mistress’s sordid past with a backhanded move, sending the two of them to prison together for life.
On her first day back in the capital, Ruan Susu whips her cousin. On the second, she tears apart her grandmother’s courtyard with a single lash. On the third, fourth, and fifth days... she beats someone up every day.
Her grandmother is the Old Madam Shen of the Duke of Jing’s household, a spiteful and vicious woman who bullied and tormented Ruan Susu’s mother for eighteen years. Ruan Susu cuts off her mother’s subsidies to the ducal household with one hand and forcefully reclaims ten shops with the other. Then she exposes the old woman for who she really is, ruining her reputation, and sends every member of the household neatly off to the afterlife.
Her mother finds love again and finally achieves happiness. The fake heiress clings to Ruan Susu and marries a man who shares her feelings. Ruan Susu boldly refuses the emperor’s arranged marriage and asks only to be named the first female prince in history, standing atop the city wall and looking down on all living things:
I’ll earn my own wealth and glory, and forge my own path to fame and fortune. The next great ruler will be me, Ruan Susu!
It's pretty good, not too many cringe-worthy scenes. The only downside is the female lead's incredible fighting skills; why did the Shen family keep causing trouble? And why did the Crown Prince, who always liked the female lead, end up being forced into a relationship with his cousin? It's a bit of a shame! Overall, it's okay, but I gave it a low rating. Everyone should check it out!
This book is rich in content, featuring a heroic and vengeful heroine who leads her princess mother and sister to overthrow the Shen family and emerge from adversity into a brighter future. It's definitely worth reading.
It's great! It's satisfying, and most importantly, it shows a mother's love for her daughter. She won't dislike her just because she wasn't raised by her. The real and adopted daughters love each other dearly, creating a warm and harmonious relationship. They unite to fight against the bullying from their in-laws. I especially love it.
It's so good! The power to crush scum is off the charts! Hahaha!
Finally, there's a book about real and fake heiresses without any drama. Overall, it's pretty good; the female lead is clear-headed.
The female lead is powerful and always seeks revenge; it's a really satisfying read.
Well written! I hope it can be made into a TV series soon; it's sure to be a box office hit!
So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful!
The storyline is exciting and the music is great.
This article is as refreshing and delicious as plain noodles 🥰 It deserves a five-star recommendation!
