She is ambitious, wanting to change the lowly status of women, to leave her mark on history, and to truly blossom from the mire. The romance is also well-developed, with several male leads whose storylines are captivating: some are seduced, some fall into the trap willingly, some are entangled in love and hate, and some even pursue their own desires… The female characters are also well-developed; there are no purely evil female supporting characters, and even those who harm the female protagonist are not motivated by men but by self-interest.

    This is a story of a strong female protagonist scheming against multiple male leads. The female lead is initially a crown princess who rises to become empress. The beginning is relatively mild, but the male lead suffers later. The story follows the female lead's growth; she transmigrates at age 6, but the narrative begins from adulthood. The first male lead is a young general and her childhood sweetheart; the second male lead is the Minister of Justice, who is also a semi-childhood sweetheart; the third, fourth, and fifth male leads come later in the story, each with their own storyline. There's also a prince from a neighboring country, a reclusive divine physician, and a bodyguard recruited along the way—it encompasses all your fantasies about male leads.
