   A power struggle, a strong female lead, no romance! I'm still deeply impressed by the side stories in this book. I've been following and reviewing the entire book; it's truly addictive. The female lead is a complete charlatan in the early stages, and later indirectly causes the death of her emperor father before ascending the throne. The competition between her and her brother is very nuanced, yet not off-putting. The female lead is truly a good person; she's working to create a way for women to live.

   These are all books with multiple male leads. The first one is about a female protagonist who is reborn and encounters her rival from her past life, whom she takes under her wing. She's a strong woman with a spatial ability, so she doesn't need anyone's help. Later, her imagination runs wild, and non-human beings fall for her. She eventually seizes power in a base. I'm still following it; it's great! 👀 The second one is about a female protagonist who becomes a base owner by completing system tasks. She has plenty to eat and drink, and even has underlings to warm her bed. 🛏️ As the title suggests, she gets stronger and tastier as she goes on. 😋 The third one features a pure villainous female lead. She's very powerful, not some naive, incompetent fake saint * but a true villain with a one-sided crush, stealing the protagonist's luck. It's great! 👀 These three are the definitive choices on my bookshelf.

The third book also features a female protagonist disguised as a man, who rises from a staff member to an official, climbing the ranks to the highest ranks of the court. The fourth book is a modern novel where the female protagonist is reborn as a college student who takes the civil service exam and enters the officialdom; it includes a romance subplot and is recommended for fans of political fiction.

    I declare this a top-tier masterpiece!!! It's absolutely amazing! The female lead is obsessed with power from beginning to end, even now that she's given birth to a son for the male lead (who could actually inherit the throne). But if the male lead truly forbids her from interfering in politics and reclaims his power, she could easily kill those who stand in her way and rule from behind the curtain. Another satisfying aspect is the clear-headed succumbing to power, from the initial "Lou family must not recklessly vie for favor" to the current "If one wants to assassinate the emperor, it's easy; they sit together on the dragon throne, the emperor and empress are of one mind." The male lead is a saint, selfish, and rotten—a mix of truth and falsehood. PS: The male lead is impure (actually, when I saw the impure male lead, as a female lead enthusiast, my mustache and braid grew, I even put on a straw hat, hurriedly ran to the ancestral hall, kowtowed, and then rushed out to drown the male lead in a pig cage). But oh my god~ it's not some male-only, female-only story~ it's different from other novels.

    The second book features a female protagonist who is clear-headed, ruthless, and career-driven—no naive or love-struck characters, just high-energy action throughout. She's not a love-struck, innocent, or saintly figure; her only goal is to overthrow the emperor. She teams up with the powerful eunuch Gu Tingxue, presenting herself as his subject in public but as an ally in private, meticulously plotting and disrupting the court. "Tingxue, in this life, let's be a pair of power-hungry, treacherous officials and a seductive concubine." The plot outweighs the romance; the female protagonist focuses entirely on her career, with love merely an added bonus.
