[One heroine, five love interests] [A sunny, charming empress × a frail, scheming royal consort + a sharp-tongued, devoted chancellor + a bright and cheerful general + an adorable, loyal guard + an ethereal, refined gentleman, and more]
Content warning: A heroine who grows over time; light, fluffy romance; women take the lead, men play supporting roles; not a pick-your-favorite romance; there is only one royal consort.
As empress, Changsun Li has three thousand handsome men in her harem. Unfortunately, every one of them wants her dead. One even shoves her into the water, only for her to come back as an amnesiac empress.
They’ve only just come to terms with the eighteen-year-old amnesiac empress, who is innocent, adorable, and kind.
Then the empress regains her memories and, before they can react, takes down her eldest sister and uncle, who were plotting to seize her throne.
She holds a knife and glares at the disloyal ministers and consorts. “What do you think of me as your empress?”
Her frail royal consort storms off in anger. “Wonderful. You’ve been playing me this whole time!”
The beautiful chancellor sweeps away in a huff. “Your Majesty’s plans are so meticulous that you no longer need my assistance. I request permission to resign.”
The God of War general is delighted. “Your Majesty is so clever. I adore you.”
Her loyal little guard says, “Your Majesty, both I and my life belong to you!”
The ethereal gentleman says, “Your Majesty has won my admiration.”
What are you waiting for? Come in and pick your consort.
Changsun Li looks at the civil and military officials she’s only just managed to appease and feels such a headache coming on that she wants to lose her memory all over again.
(In this story, the term for servants is used regardless of gender.)
