I fucking love "Iron Widow" by Xiran Jay Zhao

Polyamorous bitches

🖕 to men, and it's written beautifully

Gets her revenge in the first three chapters by killing a powerful ass man. Gets arrested, turns the most powerful guy to exist into her bitch.

Wu Zetain thrived off spite, rage, and unwillingness to be told what to do.

Wu Zetain is a powerful ass woman, and my favorite character. Iron Widow is a 10/10 book, it deserves a bigger fanbase. It's also a sci-fi retelling of a Chinese Empress, and China's only ever female empress to rule over China. That very Empress' name was wu Zhao, but otherwise known as Wu Zetain.
