Meng Fuwei gets bound to a Favorability System. The System tells her that the entire Yong'an Marquis's household will be brutally killed in the future, and that completing the conquest mission can change that outcome.
Her conquest target is the Ninth Prince, a notorious playboy in the capital.
Meng Fuwei is stunned. "A playboy prince?"
Ninth Prince Zhou Tingyue is a spoiled fool. He's either off traveling, farming, or dealing with the Ministry of Works, which the other princes have failed to win over.
He's someone all the daughters of prominent families avoid at all costs.
Conquering him can change everything? A playboy?
System: "That's right! He's the tyrant of the future!"
Meng Fuwei: "..."
Because she's destined to die horribly, she should get a head start and conquer the tyrant?
At a flower-viewing banquet, her half-sister frames her for having an affair with a man.
He asks with a smile, "Do you like watching a show?"
Then he takes her up to the top of a leafy tree.
The two of them sit in the tree and watch the ridiculous spectacle of a thief crying, "Stop, thief!"
Meng Fuwei is puzzled. "Is he really a tyrant?"
Only later does she learn that the man who loves to travel has drawn a map of the Great Yong Dynasty and knows all about people's livelihoods; the man who loves farming has bred high-yield crops; and the man who is obsessed with the Ministry of Works has created tools that help farmers, along with inventions that have transformed people's lives...
He is also an emperor for the ages.
