Reirin x Keigetsu is cute but I personally lean more towards Reirin x LeeLee

Despite being seemingly hetero centered this series has good potential for Yuri art imo

Having read the first two books, this series is basically reverse normie fantasy: The men stand around being sexy but not doing a whole lot, and WOW is there a lot of (probably unintentional) homoeroticism between Reirin and... Just about everybody. Tousetsu and Leelee both have an almost cult-like reverence for her.
Anyway, this series is ABSOLUTELY going to show up here.

This feels like the perfect setup for a “Do I want to be her or fuck her” joke

^^ ikr? The setting is rear palace harem for the crown prince in ancient pseudo-China, so the men would always be around as the structural pillars and the series won't have a pure yuri ending, but also due to that setting most of the meaningful interactions are between the women, and so naturally the bundle of hopeful sunshine that is Reirin would be attracting all the girls waddling in the misery of the setting (and so the ones in deepest shit are pulled in even more, namely Keigetsu and Leelee). And it does not help that Reirin keeps running around pulling all the strongest moves in the romance genre on everyone.

The impression I got from reading the books is that the author really wants to tell a story about a woman with an iron will and the men are just sort of there because they are required to be.

Thanks to this comment section I started reading the manga adaptation (up to the end of the first arc atm), and it's great. Body-swap premise aside, it tackles its subject matter pretty seriously when it comes to the poisonous environment of courtly intrigues. Don't know how it'll all end up but so far it's been getting more yuriful as it goes along.
(^btw would you recommend the LNs for someone who's already read the manga?)

^I caught up with the licensed Eng version of the manga and have been reading the LN sporadically, I think the expressions, blushes, gazes and sighs which highlight the personalities of the characters (and, probably relevant and important around here, crank up the yuri-ness of the interactions in the otherwise non-yuri setting) are better conveyed in the manga than LN, and the manga has been adapting quite faithfully, so you won't miss much if you just stick to the manga (except for the story progress, words are quicker to publish than drawings illustrating those words). The writting technical quality is fine, nothing exceptional but not bad either, and the story itself is entertaining enough.
Ultimately it's inner court struggle genre, with some magical components (no yuri ending), if you like the genre I'd recommend it, it's one of the better in the genre.
