   This is a female-dominated, multi-male-lead novel that's incredibly good. The female lead is strong and alluring, decisive and ruthless, neither a saint nor a naive fool. There's no mindless, wish-fulfillment plot; it's all logically satisfying. All the characters are Homo sapiens. The female lead is meticulously plotting her revenge, while the male leads are all purely devoted, their hearts only for their prince.

    Based on preference (by author quality): The first book has a romantic pairing. Although long, it's very well-written. The female lead is incredibly intelligent, planning ten steps ahead for every one she takes. It's a power struggle story, so there's some ensemble writing, and the other warlords are also well-developed. (Spoiler alert: the female lead isn't a time traveler, which makes her even more powerful and makes the use of advanced weaponry more believable.) The second book involves exile followed by rebellion. There's a lot of political intrigue in the early stages, including business warfare. While the competitors are ancient figures, they are resourceful, but the female lead still has the advantages of being a time traveler, such as in business and using explosives. (The first book is still the best.) The third book's political intrigue is only average. I initially thought it was a political intrigue story, but it turns out she becomes an empress. This one focuses on court struggles. Because the female lead is young and looks harmless, she remains hidden, leading to an overwhelming victory.
