Your Majesty, I Really Didn't Manipulate You!

(Alternate world + Multiple heroines + Empress + Tall, voluptuous Daoist nun + Childhood sweetheart + Gorgeous older girl next door + Stunning female Imperial Preceptor)

“Your Majesty, I really didn’t control you!”

“Maybe untie the ropes binding me first, then say that.” Wu Jiangli, the Empress of Great Yin, blushed furiously and glared at him.

…

Jiang Li, reborn in this life, wanted nothing more than to coast through life and die in comfort, living out his days peacefully on the strength of his father’s legacy.

But things didn’t go as planned. In court, a censor pounded his chest and denounced him: “Jiang Li is a mere boy who rose to high office by seducing his way into people’s favor. He is a disgrace to all scholars!”

Hearing this, Jiang Li didn’t feel ashamed. Instead, he took pride in it, wearing a smug expression.

“Jiang Li is a treacherous favorite who rose through sheer luck. What does he know about the common people? He indulges in wine and women and purges his rivals. He is Great Yin’s greatest scourge!” the ministers cried, beating their chests.

Jiang Li heard them and simply smiled, unconcerned.

“With Jiang Lang in office, the realm and its people suffer,” a hands-on statesman remarked with a sigh.

“Even a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to repay Lord Jiang’s kindness!” sang the herdsmen tending their flocks on the grasslands, their heads held high.

Jiang Li heard them and accepted their praise with delight.

“My young lord, the best years of your life are passing you by. Come and have some fun!”

The tall, adorably airheaded Daoist nun, the lively Luo Qingmei, the female Imperial Preceptor whose every inch exuded restraint, and the tsundere Empress who claimed to despise him but couldn’t bear to leave him all beckoned to Jiang Li.

That day, Jiang Li had a feeling his back was going to hurt.
