I recommend the book " The Great Concubine " to you. Although the title and requirements are not exactly the same, the topics are close. This ancient palace novel told the story of the female protagonist, Lu Mingzhu, who was reborn as the ninth daughter of a family who was considered short-lived and had a bad husband and children. In the end, she became the First Imperial Consort. The women were strong, but the men weren't weak either. There were complicated plots such as palace fights, battlefields, and love. I hope you like it!
