    The premise is absolutely fresh; I've never seen anything like it on Tomato Books! (If anyone has read something similar, please recommend it—I absolutely love this genre!) The female lead is a gold digger/green tea bitch who transmigrates from modern times to a matriarchal society. She tries to return to her old profession but faces constant setbacks. She finally gets a job as a waitress, but then almost gets beaten up and forced to leave her hometown for seducing a powerful young man. On the road, she discovers she possesses superhuman strength and gradually makes a name for herself before meeting a benefactor and eventually becoming empress. (That's roughly the gist of it; my description might not be entirely accurate due to my limited writing skills. The female lead is attractive to both men and women, and the author writes the romance very well—a balanced mix of sweet and risqué elements that you won't get tired of.)
