Stirring Up the Harem

“True love has never lasted through the ages. It’s schemes that win people over, little sister!” I murmured, “When it comes to men, especially men who hold all the power, don’t think about love! Talk value, talk strategy, and keep them guessing!” Why must the harem revolve around the emperor? Women should stand on their own! All you love-struck fools, make way for me! Just you wait, you dark and obsessive emperor. I don’t need a man’s favor, and I don’t have a protagonist’s halo. Watch how I turn your entire harem upside down. What? Along the way, there’s a powerful senior brother, a considerate and beautiful musician, and a rich, handsome prince from a neighboring kingdom to romance? Too bad I’ve sworn off love. I only want to beat the game.
