    [Egoist] 🥝 The female protagonist works far from home and doesn't contribute to her family's retirement fund (she does this because her family drained her of her last drop of blood in her previous life; if she shows them affection, they will exploit her). 🥝 The female protagonist becomes the crown prince disguised as a man. Everything she does is to consolidate her power and ensure her own comfort; she doesn't care whether others are innocent or not.
