   True female empowerment isn't about the woman being stronger than the man! The first book features a princess who later ascends the throne. The male lead is saved by her and raised as her subject, but she is undoubtedly the stronger one. Later, you'll find that although it's set in ancient times, a significant number of important characters are female. The second book is a romance-free, unique "true and false heiress" story. The female lead is very ambitious, and her relationship with her mother is also very touching. All the important characters are women. The third book is a fast-paced, enjoyable read. The female lead is exceptionally strong from the start, but she's unaware of it, believing herself to be an ordinary person when her true identity is far more powerful.

   The female protagonist is not confined by romantic love; she takes the well-being of her country and its people as her own responsibility, perfectly embodying the four lines of Zhang Zai: "To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to continue the lost learning of the past sages, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations." This is a true female-centric novel, unlike most romance novels on the market where the female protagonist, though also a general, always needs the male protagonist to rescue her from dire straits. Women are inherently strong; why should they rely on others? Let the world know that those who have the world in their hearts, regardless of gender, can all be heroes.

    Reader note

    I guarantee these are all excellent reads. These recommendations are purely out of love for writing. Books 1 and 2 are by the same author. The first book is a lighthearted, fast-paced story with a fresh plot. The female lead is ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals; she'll never suffer a loss. There's a high probability of no romantic pairing. The second book is about a woman disguised as a man with no romantic pairing. The protagonist's female body is only discovered in a modern setting a thousand years later in the extra chapters. It's a political intrigue story with elements throughout, but it's not mind-bending. Books 3 and 4 are by the same author. The third book is a cultivation novel with a small ensemble cast of several spirited young people. The protagonist is highly intelligent and eccentric. Time travel and the system are minor elements. There is a main romantic pairing, but it's extremely small and negligible. The secondary pairing is enjoyable. The fourth book is an ancient Chinese novel with a strong female lead and a small ensemble cast. Everyone is career-driven. A noblewoman and a time-traveling woman plot together to seize power. The romantic pairing is the throne. The fifth book features a female lead representing the nation in a post-apocalyptic setting. The female lead collects a large number of cheat codes (powerful abilities), making it very fresh and different from other post-apocalyptic novels. There is a romantic pairing, sweet but not prominent, featuring two strong characters.
