This book. Wow. There are things about this book that will make you uncomfortable and our MC, Wu Zetian, is not going to take it anymore. She makes tough choices, she refuses to make herself smaller, and she doesn't play nice for the sake of keeping the peace. She is here to tear the system down from within, and you can't help but cheer her every painful step of the way.
