Historical romance + strong female lead and political scheming + multiple male leads + men groveling to win her back + satisfying revenge
Have you ever seen a heroine like this?
She isn’t a love-struck fool. She doesn’t soften, and she never looks back.
She rose from a princess bullied by everyone in the imperial palace to a woman with power over the entire court. She relied not on men, but on using them. Five powerful men were putty in her hands. They braved fire and water for her and went mad with obsession, yet she never felt an ounce of sincere affection for any of them.
On the day she achieved her ambitions, she tore off her disguise in front of everyone. “You were nothing but my pawns.”
The five men were devastated and driven out of the capital.
Years later, they returned and knelt before her, begging her to take them back.
Standing atop a high platform, she replied coolly, “I told you, I don’t need you.”
That’s what a true powerhouse heroine looks like. She doesn’t rely on men to rise to power, and she won’t let love hold her back. What she wants has never been anyone’s favor. She wants the whole realm, firmly in her grasp.
