The Soft-Rice Alpha Has Ambitions

[Strong heroine's comeback · love-rivalry drama with several male leads · living off men while calling the shots · political intrigue · ABO · interstellar · top-tier acting]

Qi Anzhi is a new kind of Alpha, gentle and clumsy on the surface, ambitious at heart.

Her goal in life is to reach the top. Her greatest skill is world-class acting. Her strategy is to live off men while calling the shots.

She gets into the empire's top university but can't afford tuition? No problem: a fiery sweetheart generously comes to her aid, while a noble, devoted husband secretly funds her. Between all these men, she easily earns her first pot of gold.

The campus gossip mocks her as the "dream girl kept by a man"? Just what she wants. Rumors of an ambiguous relationship with a proud young master and a scandal with her cool, beautiful coworker thrust her into the spotlight. Any publicity is good publicity, and fame is hard currency.

An allergy to pheromones combined with a chronic illness? Small problems. A shameless senior and a domineering fake stepfather take turns giving her the boost she needs to reach the top.

As a top-tier but penniless Alpha, Qi Anzhi's life is all about dating a frail beauty, a sweet, pitiful junior... or not, while getting tangled up in organizational conspiracies, family secrets, and power struggles.

The road to the top is long, but Qi Anzhi takes it all in stride, determined to claim an empire stretching ten thousand miles.

So is this an inspiring story about how a top-tier Alpha uses her acting skills and wealthy admirers to rise to power?

Or is it a political drama about "living off the softest rice while flipping over the hardest table"?
