[Ridiculous Comedy] [Multiple Female Leads] [No Angst or Frustration] [A Tyrant's Guide to Saving Himself]
Xu Yan was slacking off at work when he came across a female-oriented political intrigue novel and spent three hours ranting about it.
Then, in the time it took him to shiver while using the bathroom, he became the tyrant from the book who wouldn't survive another thirty days.
The empress wanted to poison him, the assassins wanted to stab him, and Consort Duan wanted to whip his corpse. Nine female leads, nine canon pairings, nine reasons to kill him.
The System said, "Conquer them and max out their favorability, and you'll survive."
Xu Yan looked at the favorability panel: Gu Qingxuan, minus forty; Helian Fei, minus sixty; Ye Tan, minus thirty. The screen was full of negative numbers, worse than his bank balance.
No problem. He's a tyrant, after all. From the start, all he had was his mouth, and staying alive depended on sweet-talking them.
Bai Qianqian was afraid of him, so he made her date-and-red-bean cakes. Chu Chaoyan wanted to beat him up, so he subdued her with a single spear thrust. Gu Qingxuan hated him, so he exposed the true face of her pretty-boy dream man.
Thirty days later, the original story's inescapable death sentence arrived right on schedule.
The empress didn't poison him, the assassin switched sides, and Consort Duan stood in front of him.
Xu Yan stood on the city wall, with the nine female leads lined up behind him. He turned to the System and asked, "Does this count as beating the game?"
The System said, "Congratulations, Host. Phase One is complete. Phase Two begins: conquer the six kingdoms and unify the land."
Xu Yan smiled.
"Then let's fight."
Very interesting! It's the first time I've seen this subject, it's very novel
