How do empowered female characters in romance novels challenge traditional gender roles?

When Ye Qing Ran wakes up, she finds that she has transmigrated into a book. She has become the vain, domineering, and evil villain who dies a tragic death. Before she transmigrated into the book, she was the carefully groomed heir of the family. Her life goal was to make the family stand at the apex of the world of fame and fortune. After she transmigrated into the book, she does not want to participate in wars in the business world anymore. Every day, she would hit on chicks, torture trash, and flirt with handsome boys. But why do her father and three brothers look at her more and more lovingly? Father: "Whoever dares to say that I favor boys over girls, I'll make his family bankrupt." Big Brother: "My sister is the smartest and most suitable to be the heir." Second Brother: "My sister is invincible and cool. She is my idol." Brother San: "My sister is an angel. Our whole family is honored because of her."

Yan Xi, a medical prodigy who obtained a doctorate at the age of 22, never expected to end up transmigrating into a novel. Her husband was the female lead's fourth brother, Gu Shen. He was a bigshot in the business world who had suffered from disability from a young age and could only move in a wheelchair. However, he was a handsome man full of schemes. Yan Xi became the cannon fodder wife of a bigshot in the business world. Her first love, Zhang Ming, had stabbed her husband's subordinate with a knife. To force Gu Shen to release Zhang Ming, she had unhesitatingly to stab herself to threaten Gu Shen. Eventually, Gu Shen released the man and gave her a large sum of money. She took this money and eloped with Zhang Ming. After that, Zhang Ming planned for a car accident that ended her life as they hit the road, which allowed Zhang Ming to conveniently take her money and run far away. When she transmigrated over, Yan Xi found out that she had just stabbed herself with a knife and was in the critical stage of deciding her future fate! Therefore, when Gu Shen threw her the divorce agreement, Yan Xi decisively refused. "Hubby, I won't divorce you." Gu Shen was surprised by her change. "Have you thought it through? I've left you some real estate and cash. It's enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life." Yan Xi revealed a confident smile. "I've thought it through. Zhang Ming stabbed your men with a knife. You should hand this matter over to the law. I won't interfere anymore." The surprise that Yan Xi's change brought to Gu Shen did not end there. After that, she tore off the mask of her hypocritical best friend and calmly dealt with her scheming family members. She personally treated Gu Shen's chronic illness for many years. Bit by bit, she managed to shock everyone around her who was once prejudiced against her.

Her husband was so angry that he left overnight without even bothering to put on his shoes. The three little brats became as mischievious as monkeys! The aloof, arrogant system told her that if she wanted to return, she had to be a good person and instruct the villains properly. Just as she was rolling up her sleeves to teacher her three little brats a lesson, her husband returned with great wealth! He even hugged her legs and refused to let go. What was he trying to do? *** The children's father said, “Your mother's health is delicate but she's good-tempered. Don't bully her.” The mischievious little brats, who had been punished by being made to stand upside down, "Dad, open your eyes wide and look. Who's bullying who?" The children's father added, “My wife is honest and never causes trouble. All of you should give in to her.” The individuals who had been beaten up until they were black and blue, "Who should give into who now?" "My wife is virtuous and obedient.

Hinata has been reincarnated as a girl, instead of some hot guy with an instant harem. What the hell? B.) He, now a she, is a demi-human, a hated, second class race in this misogynistic world! C.) She has no support, because she woke up face down in the mud in some random forest! Taking on a new name and countenance, the guy who should have been a hero will have to start from the ground up- and in a world like this, there are some crazy, CRAZY adventures to be had!
