My strong female lead power fantasy, Please Ascend the Throne, Princess, is open for advance reservations. The blurb is at the very bottom.

[Story Blurb]

In her previous life, Xiao Yunqian was a dutiful and conscientious prayer maiden. All she did was obey an order to sing a few nights of soul-soothing songs for an honored palace guest, yet she was accused of currying favor with the powerful. After leaving the palace, she used her skills to rise to the pinnacle of ritual leadership. But at just 22, she was murdered over a portrait the emperor had painted.

Reborn, she intends to find out who loved her to death!

After being reborn, Xiao Yunqian divines her fate, only to discover that, just as in her previous life, she won't live past 22.

Life is short. You have to give it your all while you still can.

In the emperor's bedchamber,

Xiao Yunqian clutches a portrait of herself at 15 and scolds him: “Burn it!”

He lights it without hesitation or a trace of regret.

That year, 18-year-old Xiao Yunqian can't stand him. She seethes inwardly: “You call that love?”

Once she wins the emperor's favor, Xiao Yunqian enjoys a fine life: old enemies grovel at her feet, while the emperor himself nestles in her arms.

The court officials all say she is unchaste and has overstepped her station to curry favor. Well, this time, she's going to rebel and curry favor to her heart's content.

The short-lived Imperial Consort has no intention of holding back.

After several more years of wedded bliss,

the young emperor holds his beloved's hand and recalls how he burned her portrait. He says,

“My beloved is already in my arms. Why keep an old portrait around to stir up memories?”

The spoiled consort, who has been living outrageously all her life, flips through the calendar and asks, baffled,

“Why am I still alive?”

[Reading Guide]

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.

2. As the title suggests, the reborn heroine lives outrageously. She has the emperor's undivided favor, never lets herself suffer, and is kind-hearted but never soft-handed.

3. Fictional setting, no historical research needed. This is a country where ritual worship is in vogue.

4. Updates daily at 18:00. Thanks for your follows and comments.

[Advance Reservation Blurb]

Chen Chuyu was born noble as the legitimate daughter of the emperor and empress, and everything went her way. Then her brothers were all harmed, and she herself was forced into a political marriage with a barbarian tribe, where she died. The one who ascended the throne afterward was her half-sister, born to the same father.

After a nightmarish dream, she awakens reborn and realizes that, as a woman, there are all sorts of ways to fight for the throne.

Determined to seize the initiative in this life, Chen Chuyu sets out to follow her elder sister's path and leave her sister with nowhere to go, as she builds her imperial ambitions.

When her elder sister takes a fancy to her childhood friend, who has long been in love with her, Chen Chuyu thinks of how he will one day become a marquis and prime minister.

She declares righteously, “Gu is a person, not a thing. I can't give him away.”

Gu, who is not a thing, falls for her and says only, “The princess understands my heart.”

Facing the powerful general who served as her elder sister's right-hand man when she became emperor,

she humbles herself and says with heartfelt sincerity, “Yan Qing, your martial arts are peerless. You are truly heaven's favorite.”

Yan Qing, heaven's favorite, feels her heart racing and says only, “The princess is my kindred spirit.”

And then there's Grand Tutor Han Ruochao, whom she adored in her previous life, only for him to abandon her and break off their engagement.

Seeing her as the sole red flower amid a field of green, standing proud in the spring breeze,

he isn't jealous. He just puts on a cold face and accuses her of practicing the art of being a player.

One day, all these people in her sea of admirers meet.

The restrained Grand Tutor glares at the others. “You wouldn't happen to like her, would you?”

Gentle Gu answers righteously, “To like someone is to watch over her quietly without disturbing her.”

Proud Yan Qing scoffs. “With all due respect, not one of you can measure up. How dare you make her choose?”

Chen Chuyu: “I, the emperor, stand alone. I love no one!”

[Reading Guide]

1. This is not a matriarchal country. The heroine is its first queen.

2. The Grand Tutor wants to chase his wife into a crematorium; the heroine wants to ride the waves and ascend the throne.

3. Both leads are reborn. A satisfying read. Please don't take the author's values as a reflection of their own.

4. Updates will be regular once the story begins. Please reserve it, and let's embark on a romance between powerful people.

Theme: Justice will ultimately triumph over evil. Believe in yourself, and believe in love.
