Description
An absolute "Big Female Lead" power fantasy! The female lead is a crazy, ambitious career woman, ruthless and apathetic. She stops at nothing for power, loves no one, only the throne. There is no "strong couple" dynamic, nor is she strong while the male is even stronger; it's only a strong female and weak male!
Li Yuanzhao, the most revered Grand Princess of the Great Qi, born into nobility, was engrossed in political power. No civil or military official in the court dared to meet her sharp gaze. But one day, she suddenly discovered that her world was actually a male-oriented power fantasy novel!
The male lead was the destined Son of Heaven in the book. He should have been the Empress's legitimate son, but was swapped and left to live among the common folk, enduring countless hardships. Unfortunately, she was the "weasel" who performed the switch.
According to the original plot, the male lead would rise up, slapping faces, gathering strategists across the land, conquering beauties, and finally ascending the throne to become emperor. As for her, the "fake princess" who usurped the position, she would, like other women in the book, become one of his concubines. She would even end up imprisoned in a cold palace and die a violent death.
Li Yuanzhao sneered. What Son of Heaven? She never believed in destiny!
As the only princess in the history of Great Qi to possess a fiefdom and an army, would she really willingly surrender her military power and become a plaything for others' amusement? What a joke!
If the Heavens are unjust, then she will rewrite destiny! She will personally cut off his path to emperorship! She will snatch his cheat, recruit his strategists, steal his confidantes, thoroughly crush the so-called "Son of Heaven" beneath her feet, and ascend to the throne step by step.
The female lead has no romantic inclinations, but she does have an imperial harem! The male lead is a gender-bent version of an "abused female lead" from a tragic novel, suffering both physically and mentally!
