Sharp-tongued, spoiled male lead + domineering, protective female lead
Women rule, men submit | Farming and infrastructure | System-driven | Two strong leads who dote on each other | Lighthearted wish fulfillment
Other people transmigrate into games and become invincible heroes, but after cursing a few times, Li Zhenghe becomes a "slut in indecent clothes who seduced the empress."
After ten lashes, Li Zhenghe barely gets out two howls before the passing empress bundles him up and carries him off to her harem. "That kid has quite a mouth on him. I want him."
Renamed Li Luoluo, he's squeezed into a tight-waisted little dress, assigned two palace boys, and given ten days to learn makeup and how to serve in bed.
Li Luoluo punches the bronze mirror, accidentally activating the System. It even gives him two bags of kale seeds and a bag of fertilizer.
Other male favorites survive by competing for the empress's favor; Li Luoluo grows vegetables to save the country.
When the first seeds planted in the frozen soil grow into lush green kale and the aroma of hot pot fills the palace, the entire court goes wild for it.
This modern straight guy's greatest talent is acting meek while courting disaster.
He says, "I want to go home," while planting winter rye across all of Xia's frozen fields.
He complains about "feudal nonsense," yet teaches the people to grow greenhouse vegetables in winter.
The empress slings Li Luoluo over her shoulder. "Keep being stubborn, and tonight I'll teach you what it means to be a virtuous husband."
Li Luoluo's knees buckle. "...Your Majesty, I was wrong."
Farming, face-slapping, building infrastructure: from male favorite to empress.
The day Li Luoluo fills Xia's territory with cold-climate apples, envoys from Yuan kneel and beg to pay tribute.
This lousy game has me hooked!
