I Became the Substitute Empress and Gained a Cheat Skill Through Animal Speech!

[Sweet romance + all male leads are virgins + stand-in turns the tables + a battle for favor among male consorts + System + talking to beasts + satisfying read + a touch of palace intrigue]

Feng Yao transmigrates into a male consort in the cold palace of a matriarchal kingdom, and to top it off, she’s disguised as a man.

From the start, there’s drugging, catching someone in the act, and a messy showdown.

She thinks she’s stuck with a cannon-fodder script.

Instead, the mad empress drags her off to be a stand-in. The tyrant is actually a man disguised as a woman, and knows nothing of love, only killing.

But as she plays her part, the whole story takes a sudden turn...

A mad emperor in a black-and-gold dragon robe, with blood-red phoenix eyes, pins her to the dragon throne. His gaze is filled with a sick possessiveness. “I want you all to myself.”

The aloof Shen imperial consort, his whole body cold in the dead of night, pins her against the dragon bed and murmurs hoarsely, “Your Majesty... your consort is cold.”

The arrogant, overbearing Xiao imperial consort corners her against a wall, his peach-blossom eyes reddening. “How long has it been since you came to my palace?”

The new emperor of Liang, gentle as jade and full of schemes, keeps her trapped in the palace of Liang and lures her in step by step. “Feng Yao, I want you.”

The true prince of Shuojin, whose identity was stolen and who spent more than twenty years as a slave, kneels before her, covered in wounds. His emerald eyes shine like a wolf’s. “Yaoyao, this life of mine belongs to you.”

Feng Yao: What is wrong with all you men from these patriarchal kingdoms?!

Then her beast-speaking System fully upgrades. Silver snakes coil around the palace, white tigers tread through the snow, fire foxes set the heavens ablaze, black wolves howl at the moon, and golden dragons circle the city.

Warhorses are her iron cavalry, falcons are her eyes, and all the beasts are her army.

The whole world bows its head, and the four seas send tribute.

(This story is one woman with five male leads.)
