Synopsis

[Looks delicate and plays the victim, but is a fearsome flower × scheming emperor who retains his memories after reloading] (An antagonistic imperial couple, a reloading power fantasy, father-daughter affection, and a romance that grows sweeter by the day) Chu Mingzhao is the capital's most fearsome beauty. She can shatter a stone lion with one punch. But her unscrupulous father tricked her into entering the palace, where she was bound to a [System for Playing the Victim]. Little Four: Host, you must play the victim, or you'll die. Chu Mingzhao: I'll play your grandpa! Little Four: But you can [Reload]. Take the abuse, start over, then beat them to a pulp! Chu Mingzhao: You should've said so sooner! And so, the harem's whole atmosphere changed. She cowered before the Noble Consort, then reloaded and made her cry. At the poetry gathering, she acted helpless and fragile. After reloading, she made every concubine in the palace experience a different life. With her victim points soaring, she was ready to lie flat in comfort. But then she realized that Emperor Xie Wujiu seemed to remember everything even after she reloaded. Xie Wujiu, expressionless: When you were little, you tricked me into climbing a tree, stole my snacks, and stirred mud into my inkstone... Chu Mingzhao: ...That was a long time ago. Xie Wujiu: So when you made me eat six breakfasts today, that's in the past too? Chu Mingzhao: ??? She thought entering the palace was the biggest mistake she'd ever made. Until the border fell into crisis, her father led the troops into battle, and died on the battlefield. Chu Mingzhao's eyes reddened. Little Four, spend all my victim points. I want to go back. This time, the emperor who remembered every last one of her misdeeds stood behind her. Later, after returning in triumph, her father glared and stroked his beard. "Your Majesty, I entrust my daughter to you..." Xie Wujiu, wrongly accused: I wouldn't dare bully her. Chu Mingzhao: Father! He holds grudges! He even remembers when I kicked him in the rear when I was five! Xie Wujiu: ...I really don't remember that one.
