The System's Empress by LimitlessNL

When history professor Miranda Chen wakes up in the body of a palace maid in an alternate imperial China, she discovers she's been gifted with a mysterious "System" that promises one thing: follow its tasks, and she'll rise to become Empress. But in the deadly halls of the Western Aurelian Empire, where poison flows as freely as wine and whispers carry more power than swords, Miranda will need more than modern knowledge to survive. As she navigates labyrinthine politics and ancient traditions, her strange abilities catch the attention of the enigmatic Emperor Alexander-a man bound by duty yet haunted by the golden cage of his inheritance. What begins as political maneuvering evolves into forbidden glances, secret meetings in moonlit gardens, and an alliance neither of them expected. With each level she gains in the System, Miranda uncovers not just new powers, but deeper conspiracies threatening the empire. The cold-eyed Dowager Empress watches her every move, while jealous concubines plot her downfall and ambitious ministers circle like vultures. As Miranda rises from invisible servant to the emperor's most trusted confidante, she must answer the question burning in her heart: Is she using the System to manipulate her way to power, or has she truly fallen for the one man she can never have? And when the moment of choice arrives, will Alexander choose centuries of tradition or risk everything for a love that defies the very foundations of his empire? In a world where every smile hides a dagger and every courtesy masks calculation, Miranda will discover that the greatest power isn't granted by any System-it's forged in the crucible of survival, sacrifice, and the courage to rewrite destiny itself.

Beneath The Crimson Veil || A Chinese Historical Romance by euphorictaless

In the heart of the Xinglong Empire, where courtly politics are as treacherous as the battlefield, Princess Lian has always known her place-on the fringes of royalty, judged by her mother's lowly origins and disregarded as a pawn in the king's grand schemes. Quiet and graceful, she hides her own secrets, her strength veiled behind the facade of a docile princess. When she is given as a "war prize" to General Wei Jiang, a hardened soldier with a fearsome reputation, her world changes forever. Wei Jiang has spent his life on the battlefield, his loyalty to the kingdom unshakable but his heart encased in steel. He neither desires nor understands love, believing it a luxury for others. When he is forced into a marriage with the quiet, seemingly fragile princess, he regards her as yet another obligation in his life of duty. As Lian moves to the general's barracks, a world far removed from the opulence of the palace, she begins to see the man behind the armor-a calm, disciplined leader haunted by the cost of war. And as Wei Jiang observes her courage and quiet resilience, he starts to suspect that there is more to her than meets the eye. But their budding connection is tested by secrets from both their pasts and plots that could endanger the empire. Wei Jiang must decide if he can trust the woman he was forced to marry, even as his own heart begins to betray him.

Vile Dominion by myNameisAnonymous03

Disclaimer: This is my own work, if a character seem to be similar, it may be due to a coincidence or may also be because I was inspired of their work. I tried my best to make a unique content. In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide-navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world's control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)

The Cursed Red String by Kara_Voss

Caught in a web of fate and deception, Meiyu is thrust into a dangerous love story spanning lifetimes. In her past incarnation, she was the sheltered daughter of a noble family, promised to a man who adored her beyond reason-a man willing to carve his name into history through blood and sacrifice to keep her by his side. But their love was doomed, twisted by obsession and dark rituals. Now, in the past, Meiyu must unravel the truth before history repeats itself. The man who once loved her in life-and hunted her in death-is still waiting. And in every timeline, his promise remains the same: "Even time cannot keep you from me."

It will not follow the timeline of the drama but will have all the familiar characters and places.

A secret is about to be revealed that will intertwine the fates of the twin brothers and the warrior queen of Qing Qui. The three and another must come together to win the battle of their lives but will they? This is my first ever story so I'd like to request all to be kind.
