   Highly recommended! The female lead's biggest advantage is her brother, who is incredibly intelligent and fiercely protective of her. The female lead herself is also powerful, later leading troops to rescue the empress. The emperor is not suspicious or prone to betrayal; even knowing the female lead is a reincarnated woman, he trusts her abilities and doesn't harm her. The main and supporting characters are clearly defined, making for a particularly excellent story.
