From a Russian princess sent to a remote territory, with no future but a political marriage, a princess in name only,
to staging a military coup against her own father and becoming Catherine the Great, Empress of All Russia; sovereign of Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, and Novgorod; and tsarina of the principalities of Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberia, and others. The only empress in Russian history to bear the title "the Great."
What it takes is a cool head, meticulous planning, an iron will, and a ruthless, decisive nature that shows no mercy.
And a dragon.
Ye Xingqiu has all of that.
A note for readers:
* If the advance interest is good, I'll start this after finishing "Into the Fire."
* Worldbuilding: dragons, magic, steampunk, Assassin's Creed, and an eighteenth-century historical setting.
If there is no empress in this world, then I shall become the emperor.
Theme: A girl who transmigrates carves out her own path in a fictional steampunk world.
