Before the Transmigrator Takes Over [Matriarchy]

On how a transmigrator hasn't taken over the original owner's body yet,

and how the original owner became universally hated.

She beat up her former male servant, injured her fiance, locked her adoptive mother in a secret chamber, gambled obsessively, and sold off her husband after he miscarried...

Everyone spat at her, calling her lecherous, lascivious, depraved, and deranged.

But she just wiped the sweat from her face.

What a satisfying first half of a life.

Later, the transmigrator took over her body.

Her bearing was transformed, and everyone admired her.

She passed the provincial exam, came first in all three palace examinations, and became the youngest newly appointed top scholar.

But the transmigrator grew more and more troubled.

The husband she had saved with such painstaking care cheated on her.

The former male servant she had never quite managed to let go of became decent and respectable, spending every day doting on his wife, his mistress.

Her childhood sweetheart and former fiance, as well as her adoptive mother, whom she had supported financially and who had written to invite her over, all turned their attention to another madwoman.

Because they had all realized the person beneath her skin had changed.

Fortunately, a prince fell for her, and she eventually became emperor.

But it was all a dream. In the end, she chose to take one person [home].

She returned the body to its original owner.

[(Heroine) The original owner's perspective. The transmigrator is powerful and saintly, while the original owner is vicious and turns evil. The two cherish each other.]

[The transmigrator and the heroine have a selfcest storyline. Later, the transmigrator has a daughter with the third male lead. She doesn't sleep with anyone else.]

[After the heroine gets her body back later on, she and the male lead get a happy ending.]

[While the heroine's soul is inhabiting the borrowed body, the male lead is pure in both body and heart.]

[The heroine initially prefers men, but later likes both men and women. She only has gender-bender romance, straight romance, and GL with the heroine. Other characters won't have gender-bender romance or GL. Heroine-focused. Absolutely no BL.]

Theme: Men need to be strong.
