My Wife Is Everyone's Favorite (Matriarchal Society)

[Will start once it reaches 300 favorites~]

Kou Hua came from humble beginnings, was exceptionally clever, and passed the imperial examinations at sixteen. Backed by the late emperor, she became chancellor at twenty and, by twenty-eight, wielded unrivaled power at court.

To repay the emperor's kindness, she never formed cliques or pursued private interests. Upright and strict, she was a staunch loyalist to the throne.

After the late emperor's death, his legitimate son Shen Ming ascended the throne. The court officials cried out that it defied convention, but thanks to Kou Hua's protection, Shen Ming was able to take the throne smoothly, becoming the first male emperor in history. Afterward, Kou Hua personally taught him how to handle state affairs and balance competing interests, and personally protected him as he defended the Shen family's realm.

Shen Ming had always believed that Kou Hua, the powerful minister, was in love with him, until he saw at her side his weak and lowborn younger imperial brother, a gentle and charming older neighbor, a seductive and dazzling courtesan, a beloved prince from an enemy state...

[Reading Guide]

1. A classic female-dominated world: officials are all women, and male emperors are an exception. It is not an egalitarian society.

2. A male-rivalry battlefield, with multiple male supporting characters liking the heroine. The romance will most likely be angsty for the men.

3. Men can bear children. The female lead is a virgin, and the male lead is a virgin; they are exclusively devoted to each other, but the heroine will have characters such as male attendants. Details will be settled before the story begins.

4. The male lead's name may change. There will be a lot of court and aristocratic-family plotlines, and I need to read a lot of reference material and practice my writing, so this story will begin later.
