    A wicked woman! A villain! An empress! A power-hungry female protagonist! A satisfying novel for female protagonist lovers! The female protagonist is intelligent, rational, and opinionated, meticulous and resourceful. Everyone brainwashes her, treating her as a stepping stone, an appendage, a sacrifice… But she is unwilling to accept this. Instead, she is ambitious, cunning, and calculating, constantly plotting and scheming, slowly climbing the ranks until she finally seizes power and paves her own path to success! Although there is a male protagonist, there isn't much of a romantic subplot. Power is the most important thing to the female protagonist; everything else is just icing on the cake!
