    I haven't read this book in a long time, but when it comes to female-oriented novels about pursuing power, this is the first one that comes to mind. It's the most comfortable and logically written female-oriented political novel I've ever read. The male lead has more screen time in the early stages, but overall he's more of a tool and background character for the female lead. The female lead gains experience in various departments, and even her low points due to childbirth and changes in her connections are written logically. Afterwards, she steadily rises in rank. One difference from typical wish-fulfillment novels is that it depicts the struggles women face in the power struggle, including but not limited to the conflicts between career and family in the later stages. Many of her early supporters questioned her pursuit of more power and held prejudices against women having great ambitions. The protagonist experienced confusion, but never considered giving up. I really love this kind of setting; this is what a true female-centric novel should be like.

    I recommend a new book: a strong female lead, medical skills, and political intrigue. It features a dual transmigration plot; the female lead, a medical doctor, starts as a plus-size Lin Daiyu (a character from a popular Chinese novel known for her tragic fate), and the male lead suffers from amnesia and becomes a crown prince, outwardly cold but inwardly panicked. Both leads are highly intelligent, evenly matched, and the book is completely free of melodrama, simplistic plot points, and boring moments!

    Everyone should read it! It's amazing! Except for parts six and seven, which feature a woman disguised as a man (but without the ridiculous plot of her being caught dating), the rest are all stories of female protagonists climbing the ranks step by step, utilizing all available resources—absolutely career-driven heroines. Especially the first book, with its motto, "Plunder and oppression are men's stories, not women's." See what kind of golden age a woman will create!
