    My darlings, I highly recommend "Your Majesty, Your Little Green Tea Has Arrived!" The female lead is an 18th-tier green tea actress who transmigrates without a system or space, relying solely on her "femme fatale face + max-level green tea skills + acting skills" to cause trouble in the harem. Her interactions with the repressed and brooding emperor are incredibly sweet: when the female lead feigns pitifulness and cries out in pain, the emperor complains that she's "delicate," but the next second he sends the imperial physicians rushing to her side; when she whispers in his ear that her father and brothers have been bullied, the emperor stubbornly insists that "the harem should not interfere in politics," but then turns around and scolds the ministers until they blush... The main theme is a sweet and contrasting romance where "he thinks she's delicate, yet he indulges her to the point of being unruly; he sees through her tricks, yet he willingly plays along." If you like green tea heroines + palace intrigue + emperor's exclusive favor, you definitely have to check it out!

    Xia Yu tossed and turned for a while before finally drifting off to sleep. In his half-awake state, a slightly childish electronic voice suddenly appeared in his mind. "Ding! Congratulations on binding with the 'Saving the Male Supporting Character System'!" He slowly opened his eyes. What system? "It's the 'Saving the Male Supporting Character System'." The system, hearing his thoughts, repeated arrogantly. "What is that?" "Ding! Successful binding with host. Now beginning plot transmission." Xia Yu felt waves of electricity coursing through his mind, and many new memories appeared—memories both strange and familiar. "Eh?" The system seemed puzzled. "Host, have you finished receiving the plot? Why are you so calm? Don't you have any questions?" He narrowed his eyes. "How did you get bound to me?" "You're the cannon fodder male supporting character in this world. I'm here specifically to save you."
