By “strong women,” I mean women who are self-reliant and persevere, whatever the setting, and ultimately forge their own paths. Some entries include comments on male characters because they're grouped with other books on the same list, so I had to put everything in one review.

Curator note
I love the female lead's personality; it's a rare tale of a true female empress's rise to power. The process from palace maid to empress is somewhat idealized, but stories where men sacrifice their lives and fortunes to help the female lead climb the ladder to power are definitely worth telling.

God! There was a case about a blind woman who, despite possessing extraordinary abilities, managed to save herself by doing everything perfectly. But the real-life girl, without any special advantages, still escaped through sheer willpower and a calm mind. It left me speechless. Never give up on your precious life, and never lose faith in living positively.

I absolutely love it!! It's my number 1 of the year. The female lead has a very strong personality, and the main plot revolves around revenge for her adoptive mother. She also doesn't forgive her biological father, who caused her the actual harm—it's so satisfying!

The system identity is a pleasant surprise; the female lead is truly orchestrating everything from beginning to end, her ambition is admirable. The male lead is definitely intelligent, but he can't escape the female lead's grasp at all; the two times he's been tricked the most in his life were both times caused by her.
7 Your Ode (Matriarchal Society) 君之赋（女尊） Jing Hui镜回Romance850k WordsCompleted This is an age that breeds heroes, an age of bloodshed and turmoil. If you do not rise up and fight, your country will fall and your family will perish. It is an age when goodness dies and darkness thrives. Rulers are no longer rulers, ministers are no longer ministers, mothers and daughters turn against each other, and husbands and wives become enemies.

A serious, matriarchal drama where the female protagonist progresses from her studies to becoming a powerful and heroic ruler. It includes various harem elements.

The comparison between the effeminate male and female supporting characters who take shortcuts is quite controversial, but the female lead takes a more difficult but correct path, which I think is the true theme. In reality, we will encounter people around us with distorted values and no moral bottom line, but as long as you have a firm core, you will eventually find your own self-consistent and fulfilling path, without having to become distorted and miserable.
9 Good Morning! Three Kingdoms Wage Earner 早安！三国打工人 Vastness of the Underworld蒿里茫茫Romance2.7M WordsCompleted “The land is in turmoil, and the people are suffering.” Lu Xuanyu doesn't really understand what those words mean. Ever since she landed face-first in the earth in the sixth year of Zhongping, the brief dream she'd once had has long since vanished. She has an unremarkable face, poor social skills, no family background, and a strange debuff that makes everyone hate her. Not becoming some warlord's unattainable dream girl isn't a big deal. She has two good hands and two good feet. She can do a 195.9kFavorites205.7kClicks/ch993.3kGifts

The female lead's off-the-charts fighting skills are so cool, who understands? She's incredibly strong, able to overcome any skill with sheer force. I think the romance was really pointless; they might as well have removed the male supporting character. I completely got Liu Cixin's charm—a benevolent ruler who recruits talent without regard to convention in a chaotic world.

Major red flag: The male supporting character has two unfaithful partners. However, the female lead is truly someone who can use everything to her advantage, and the plot is very engaging.
