Reborn, Shen Mian binds herself to the Charming All system, with only one day left to live from the start!
To extend her life and survive, she must unlock the main quest, [Balance of the Four], while maxing out the favorability of all four male leads.
On her wedding day, the Crown Prince's attendant stops her bridal sedan and demands that she marry him.
She smashes the jade pendant that symbolized their betrothal in front of everyone, then turns around and takes the newly crowned top scholar Ling Ji as a husband (in name only), sealing the deal with a fake marriage contract.
In public, she's the glorious wife of the top scholar. In private, the System keeps assigning her flirtatious missions.
She flirts with the aloof scholar, woos the theater's leading actor with a tragic past, talks back to the possessive and arrogant Crown Prince, and leaves the wild, spoiled young nobleman stunned.
The Crown Prince, Chu Zhao, looks down at her from on high. "Leave Ling Ji, and I'll grant you supreme favor and glory."
Shen Mian coolly retorts, "If you want to be with me, then come be my kept man."
Ling Ji strictly adheres to the teachings of the sages, yet time and again she throws him into turmoil, shattering his self-control.
Gu Lian is half sincere and half playing a role, pouring all his seductive tricks on her.
Chu Jinghong was a womanizing young nobleman, but the moment he saw her nock an arrow and drive off a beast, he lost his heart to her.
The System's pop-up messages flood the screen:
[The harem rivalry is at its peak! Reward: extra lifespan!]
[Warning! Keep all four men's favorability up. Do not give one person special treatment!]
Shen Mian presses a hand to her forehead. "No, seriously, I don't want to create this kind of mess!"
