   I'm currently reading a great historical romance novel for female readers. The female lead is exceptionally strong—that's her own strength—and her sister is the kind of female lead in historical novels who has a cheat code (or "golden finger"). She earns tons of money through her own hard work; it's so satisfying to watch! There are also a lot of chapters, although it's not finished yet. I'm currently following it myself.

    Jiang Nanxi, pampered since childhood and unable to endure hardship, unexpectedly transmigrated into a novel set in a poor era, becoming a spoiled and scheming female supporting character with nothing but beauty and no brains. In the original story, her twenty-year-old fiancé, the male lead, was stolen away by a forty-two-year-old woman, leading her to marry the male lead's retired third brother, Zhou Ji, in a fit of madness. Zhou Ji was not only deaf but also impotent. After marriage, she despised Zhou Ji in every way, refusing to let him touch her, verbally abusing him, being lazy and gluttonous, not only having an affair with a wealthy young man but also maintaining an entanglement with the male lead at home, ultimately leading to their divorce. Years later, she was disfigured, scavenging for scraps and freezing to death under a bridge, while Zhou Ji became a business tycoon with businesses all over the country, only to die of illness in the end. Because he had no children, the male lead inherited all his assets, expecting her to suffer. Unwilling to accept this, the transmigrated Jiang Nanxi decided to be a good first wife and ultimately inherit Zhou Ji's estate. That night, Zhou Ji pulled back the covers. Jiang Nanxi was so tired she could barely straighten her back. She comforted herself, "It's okay, just bear with it a little longer and I'll inherit the estate." Later, Jiang Nanxi counted the family's assets, watching Zhou Ji's increasingly robust physique. Jiang Nanxi: "..." When will she inherit the estate? And, isn't he impotent?

Actually, she takes down a villain in just two or three chapters, eliminating them completely and leaving no trace. Crucially, you can't even get any leverage over her.
