My Target Is My Archrival, and I’m Raising Hell in the Imperial Palace

After Meng Yan died, she became a commandery princess in the Yun Yuan Kingdom. She only got to enjoy a few good years before the emperor died, and the new emperor wasn’t her cousin. Meng Yan felt as if the sky had fallen. Oh well, with death looming, she might as well eat whatever she could. System: Win over the tyrant and make him fall to darkness. Meng Yan: Isn’t he already dark enough? The System tempts her: You’ll get two million if you succeed. Meng Yan perks right up: Tell me how. The System lets out a creepy cackle: Make him your slave, your dog… Her smile freezes. From then on, Meng Yan tries to get herself killed, choosing between dying sooner and dying later. Whips, candles, male concubines… Xie Jingyan is the son of the late empress and the greatest villain of all. Abandoned in the northern frontier as a child and out of favor with the emperor, he returned at twenty-one in a blaze of power and was made crown prince. The following year, he ascended the throne. Meng Yan doesn’t know whether he’s naturally suspicious, but she’s about to make him that way with her attempts to win him over. She can put up with the fact that he looks exactly like her nemesis, but her progress bar refuses to budge. The day she learns the tyrant is her nemesis, Meng Yan throws in the towel. It’s not like she can die anyway. But then her usually mild-mannered rival traps her between the sheets… … Meng Yan: Are you a dog? Xie Jingyan: Your dog. Once you start keeping a dog, you’re not allowed to abandon it.
