At Last, It's My Turn to Be Emperor

She joined the army at five, helped her father, the founding emperor, conquer the land at eleven, and diligently spent five years helping her father review memorials at sixteen. As the founding emperor's only daughter, Xie Liang felt she had done no worse than any man. But after her father died, these ministers actually wanted to find someone else to be emperor? Had they even asked what she thought? "Your reason for opposing my succession is simply that I'm a woman?" Xie Liang asked, looking puzzled. "But if one of my male cousins takes the throne, won't he just repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty?" A prince of another surname who had fought alongside her father wanted to marry her to ease the transfer of power. She agreed on the surface, then led three thousand cavalry to wipe him out under the pretense of going to escort the bride. In the end, she even said that since she had promised to marry his son, she would keep her word and bury him in the imperial mausoleum. The border tribes are eyeing the Central Plains, hoping to unite it under their rule? Sure, our civil war is fierce, but have we ever lost to you? Who gave you the nerve to think you could win? "Who says women can only marry and have children? If men can become kings, ministers, generals, and chancellors, then women can too!" Later, when the land was finally at peace and the people were safe, Xie Liang felt she should be able to enjoy herself. So why did her ministers have such a warped idea of her? Minister A: Her Majesty must have a good reason for doing this! Minister B: Why would Her Majesty be searching for handsome men? There must be spies in the city! Xie Liang: I really do want to enjoy myself! Content warning: The story is entirely fictional. The heroine makes her own way and is determined to become emperor.
