[Qing Dynasty transmigration + System + ancient political intrigue + strong heroine]
The game crashes spectacularly at 99% loading. Mu Ning opens her eyes to find herself the most dangerous woman in the Kangxi court: the primary consort of the deposed Crown Prince, Yinzreng.
With spies watching her from every corner of the residence and her violent husband coughing up blood in bed, all she can hear in her mind is the System's final echo.
“Crown Prince faction reputation has fallen to zero. Player will be deleted immediately.”
Her hopeless game begins. Mu Ning sneers and flips over the bowl of poison in the inner quarters. “If there's no way back, then we'll fight for the throne to the very end!”
Armed with fragments of her player memories, she plunges into the bloody struggle among the nine princes.
When the Eighth Prince's faction tries to destroy her with praise, she throws a ledger into the court and forces corrupt officials to confess on the spot.
When Kangxi grows suspicious, she prepares medicinal dishes with her own hands and lays her heart bare before him, slowly warming the cold heart of the emperor.
Just as she begins pulling the deposed Crown Prince back from the abyss and toward his place as heir, the Fourth Prince's secret moves quietly come to light.
Beneath the Forbidden City's red walls, another woman claiming to be a “player” blocks her path, a script in her hand and a sinister smile on her face.
Mu Ning slowly draws the short blade hidden in her sleeve. Its edge reflects the snow swirling down from the sky.
Is the heroine traveling through a book? Quick travel guide? Or some kind of simulation game? Did the prince know that the heroine had a system or could he also hear the system announcing the reputation value? And it felt very natural to accept the heroine's soul change, and I felt guilty for the original heroine for no reason. The plot development was a bit unsmooth, and the character's mental journey was very strange... But the heroine felt very smart, and the interaction between the prince and the heroine was quite cute.
