I Am No Worthy Minister

If the female lead can become empress, she will gain three things: first, the favor of her mother, Xiao Shenshi; second, the favor of her elder brother, Chun Ge, who is like a father to her; and third, the favor and paving the way for her in the early stages of the emperor's reign.

This book is hampered by its character setup 😂😂 Actually, there's no male lead; the female lead is well-developed and the plot flows smoothly.

I recommend this story; it's very good. Personally, I think it's fine even if the female lead gets married in the end, as long as the plot doesn't veer off-topic into romance.

Well, the story is well-written, but the content and the description appeal to a different audience. Before I even started reading, I saw discussions in the comments section about the lack of a romantic pairing and the male lead. The author explained that the male lead only represents the importance of the plot, and that it's a female-centric story.

Will there be multiple male leads or will the heroine be the only one who wins in the end?

I love this setup! No romantic pairing, intelligent, and the protagonist, including those around him and his mother, is always clear-headed and avoids making mistakes. Unlike some protagonists who have everything go too smoothly and feel like a childish game, this one manages to overcome any problems without any major tragedy. It's just right!

It got a bit tiring to read further; the power struggles weren't clear.

I feel like the climax is about to begin, and I really want to know the author's outline. The following is my personal guess. The protagonist is currently facing internal and external troubles. Internally, there's Empress Shen's faction and the princes eyeing her covetously; externally, there's the royal family, led by Song Yu, and various powerful clans.

This book is a bait-and-switch; it claims to have no romantic pairings, but in reality, there are no fixed romantic partners. There are male leads, and more than one.

It's really good, I love female leads who grow and develop, why isn't it more popular?!
