Qing Dynasty System: The Host Is a Black Lotus

[Torturing scumbags] [Ensemble cast] [Devoted couples] [System] [Harem intrigue] [Qing Dynasty transmigration]

After transmigrating into an abandoned old-school Qing Dynasty novel, Mu Qingci follows the plot with a top-tier System. One moment, she's a delicate, pitiful white lotus; the next, she's a ruthless, vengeful black-hearted lotus.

Mu Qingci is addicted to face-slapping. She works herself to the bone while enjoying the palace intrigues among the consorts.

System: Host, please be advised: a Mary Sue is approaching.

Wait! What's with all these princes, one after another? Clear-headed Mu Qingci refuses: "Thanks, but no thanks. They're just tools."

Only that dashing young man seems to have seen through her act long ago. "You can stop pretending. Everyone's gone."

What does it feel like to be reborn endlessly?

The Fourteenth Prince opens his eyes, and everything is familiar once more, except for the variable that wasn't there before.

"Those who have seen the moon will never look at a single star."

A few warnings: The heroine doesn't love anyone at first; romance develops slowly; this is a lightly ensemble-focused story, and everyone is the protagonist of their own world.
