A Woman Disguised as a Man Becomes the Emperor of Central Europe

Because of her father's obsessive delusions, Anna was raised as a boy.

"He" was frail and sickly from childhood and rarely received visitors. The mad duke had only this one "son." Within the realm, the scheming regent coveted his position; beyond its borders, the suzerain king watched like a tiger, and both were waiting for "him" to fall.

Who could have guessed that the mad duke's sickly "son" would rise to become a co-ruling duke, be named his uncle's heir, be chosen as king, and be acclaimed the foremost among the princes?

When her sex was finally revealed, the pope condemned her as a heretic, and her relatives wanted to send her to a convent. Meanwhile, the sons of the princes all clamored to marry her, each willing to save her from danger.

A. The grandson of the Elector of Brandenburg in the west, a cousin bearing the same surname, someone she knows inside and out

B. The King of Poland in the east, descended from her maternal grandfather, and ruler of the suzerain state

C. The son of the Count Palatine of the Rhine in the south, her cousin on her mother's side, wealthy and devoted

D. The King of Denmark in the north, ruler of the Nordic lands, with vast territories

Anna: I choose E: to become queen.

She stockpiled grain, built high walls, and waited to proclaim herself queen. She made a fortune in the religious wars. When the warring A, B, C, and D finally looked around, they discovered that Anna had more than doubled her territory.

At the postwar negotiations, Anna opened her fan and smiled at her former suitors. "Seeking a live-in son-in-law. Who's willing to marry into my family with his territory in tow?"

Before you stands Anna the Great: Duchess of Prussia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, Duchess of Ansbach-Kulmbach, Duchess of Jülich-Cleves-Berg, Regent of Brandenburg, Governor of the Hanseatic League, Queen of Bohemia, Protector of Lutheranism, Saint of God.

1. The female lead transmigrates. She is based on Anna of Prussia. The world is fictional, history is heavily altered, and she has an enormous golden finger.

2. The cross-dressing storyline takes up about half the novel. While dressed as a man, she will pretend to marry women; while dressed as a woman, she will pretend to marry men.

3. The religious wars in this story are entirely fictional and have no connection to any real history or religion.

4. The Duchy of Prussia lies outside the Holy Roman Empire and is not a region governed by Salic law, so women can inherit titles.

5. The female lead holds her title in her own right as a regnant, not as a consort.

6. Her granddaughter, Fredericka Wilhelmina, inherits her titles.
