[No romance + System + lighthearted comedy + ensemble court drama]
Jiang Wu transmigrated into The Demon Consort Simulator and became the daughter of a minor official, soon to take part in the imperial selection.
The System told her: If she could seduce the foolish emperor, squander the treasury, persecute loyal officials, and wage reckless wars until the Great Yong dynasty fell, she could return to the real world.
△ Keep the emperor from attending court for seven days?
The emperor streamlined court sessions overnight, doubling administrative efficiency.
△ Build a luxurious palace in a disaster zone?
The empress used Jiang Wu's budget to build roads, control floods, and provide work for the victims. The refugees knelt and cried, “Long live the Noble Consort!”
△ Start a war just to seize a white fox-fur cloak?
The defeated general reorganized military provisions, opened up border trade, and returned to the capital with both a victory report and the fox-fur cloak.
The foolish emperor became a wise ruler, treacherous officials became renowned ministers, and defeated generals became legendary commanders. Watching the nation's fortune rise higher and higher, Jiang Wu finally broke down:
“Enough! I'm really trying to bring this country down!”
The assembled officials knelt, deeply moved:
“Your Highness, you used your reputation as a demon consort to inspire us. Your intentions were truly admirable!”
Jiang Wu: “...”
Please, stop trying so hard!!!
