The Princess and Her Court of Admirers

[Mary Sue + multiple male leads + coercive romance + rivalry among men + male leads are virgins, female lead is not; avoid if this bothers you] Gentle and sweet Wen Ci transmigrates one day into the body of a highborn, arrogant and tyrannical princess who has done all manner of evil. From the start, she has neither father nor mother; her elder brother is stationed in the northwest year-round; her fiancé is adamant about breaking off their engagement; her nominal imperial brother is as cold as ice; and the steward controls the household. Taking the attitude that she might as well make the best of things, she quickly adjusts and prepares to enjoy her wonderful new life. But can someone tell her why her fiancé keeps pursuing her after breaking off their engagement? Why does her aloof imperial brother threaten and tempt her? And why does the steward hide a blade beneath his smile and stay in her room? The young, unhinged emperor: “I never knew that was love.” The lonely steward: “She saved me in the midst of a blizzard all those years ago. From then on, I belonged to her. She’ll never get rid of me.” The stubborn fiancé: “Actually, if she doesn’t want to break off the engagement, that’s fine too.”
