Yo, have you checked out ‘The Emperor and the Female Knight’? It’s wild! The way they dive into these women’s lives is so relatable but also like… wow, the pressure! Pollyanna seems to live life with zero chains while those Empress candidates are dealing with so much expectation. It’s honestly refreshing to see strong women from such different backgrounds navigate their worlds.
