    This book has no romantic pairings, no ambiguous relationships, and no female-male romance. The female lead truly becomes the empress in the end—what could be more satisfying than being an empress? Moreover, all the important characters—her friends, teachers, subordinates, and enemies—are women! Male characters are so few in number and have negligible screen time, and there are no derogatory terms used against women; it's a completely female-centric narrative!

    In her previous life, Princess Li Yan was falsely accused and died a tragic death. Reborn, she became completely "darkened," determined to seize power and the throne. She used ruthless methods to control various factions: forcing a powerful future rival to marry into her family, crushing self-righteous individuals, confronting royal relatives who used her as a pawn, and even identifying and countering spies around her. Her ultimate goal was to rebel and seize power. After her rebirth, Li Yan's first act was to stop her mortal enemy, Jiang An, who was on his way to pledge loyalty to the new emperor. She ordered him to be bound and taken to the princess's residence for the wedding ceremony. Jiang An was shocked and furious, but after his family suffered a sudden calamity, he had no choice but to submit to her, forced to become her "dog at her feet."

    Xie Linyu, a working-class woman in a matriarchal society, died suddenly at her desk after working overtime. When she opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated into the body of the short-lived second princess of the same world. This princess, sharing the same name, relied on the Empress's favor to indulge in extravagance and debauchery, disregarding human life, and ultimately met a tragic end. When Xie Linyu opened her eyes again, the soul inhabiting her body had been replaced by Xie Linyu from the modern world. With years of experience as a corporate slave, Xie Linyu was adept at navigating between various factions, living behind a mask, outwardly gentle and composed, but inwardly cautious and suspicious. After sorting out the original owner's memories and her current situation, the first thing she did was pull the man, who was solely focused on revenge, from the dungeon. However, the man woke up and said: "You're not her, kill me." Xie Linyu: "Let's talk this out. Don't die yet, help me gain a foothold before you die." And so, one was a fake princess who only wanted to live a peaceful life, and the other was a true strategist who had long since had enough of life. One was good at "playing chess within the rules," and the other was good at "observing people's hearts from the shadows." They agreed to only use each other and get what they needed, but in the daily interactions in the princess's palace and in the process of working together to resolve crises, feelings secretly developed between them. Meanwhile, the empress, who held the reins of power over the world, maintained a subtle and unspoken silence among these daughters vying for the throne. She never took the initiative, nor did she easily favor anyone. She simply stood at the highest point and watched coldly, seeing which of these ambitious daughters could withstand the test of the storm and survive this game that was destined to end in complete defeat.

    This is a period drama, definitely not a rural story, and it's not simplistic. It tells the story of a female protagonist who rises from factory worker to the center of power, currently serving as the city secretary. The "golden finger" (advantageous abilities) is just for the reader's comfort; the protagonist doesn't actually need them. The writing style is comfortable, avoiding trivial matters and featuring no awful relatives. Her family is decent enough; although they were somewhat sexist and didn't love her much initially, they haven't mistreated her. Because of her promotion, she gradually gains more influence within the family. She's currently unmarried and still strategically building her career. 😎

    Rules are something the weak must abide by; there are still some who, when poor, cultivate their own virtue, and when successful, benefit all under heaven. (The first book features a kind but definitely not idiotic female protagonist! It teaches that power is a weapon that can harm, but it shouldn't be destroyed. Instead, it should be held in the hands of reliable people, with unwavering loyalty!) (If you don't like the second book, you can criticize me!)
