I open my eyes to find myself the wicked empress, soon to be deposed.
The System issues a cold, emotionless mission: 【Host, please turn the imperial harem into a model of harmony within three months.】
Looking at the consorts fighting each other to the death throughout the palace, I smile.
That very night, I convene an assembly of the Six Palaces and announce the new palace rules:
One: Poisoning and framing others are forbidden. Anyone who reports an offender can claim her monthly stipend.
Two: Bonuses will be awarded each month according to palace-fighting KPIs... no, talent points.
Three: A Harem Council will be established, with major matters decided by vote.
The consorts stare in astonishment, and the emperor flies into a rage. “Empress, what kind of nonsense are you up to?”
I pull out a performance review form. “Your Majesty, would you like the harem harmony metrics to meet their targets this year?”
