Qiao Ying is a formidable woman determined to make her mark.
By her plan, she will inherit the dukedom, defeat every rival and obstacle, and steadily gain power and status until she reaches the pinnacle of life. It is only natural.
But her supernatural ability is a romance System.
What? You’re saying that raising someone’s affection for her lets Qiao Ying use more of their abilities and borrow their bodies, giving her a real boost in both strength and influence?
Of course she’ll use it. Only a fool wouldn’t!
But while Qiao Ying focuses on forming alliances and increasing her own power and control, the allies whose affection she has raised say:
“Wherever you set your sights, that is my goal.”
“We’re all in this together.”
“Our strength is yours to command. You are our hope.”
“I know you need their strength, so I won’t get jealous. But could you look at me a little more?”
Qiao Ying: It’s not that I’m deliberately avoiding making things official with them. I haven’t accomplished my great ambition yet. Being with anyone would only weaken me, wouldn’t it?
Content warnings:
1. A shameless, over-the-top female-lead power fantasy, as the blurb says: the heroine has melodramatic, ambiguous relationships while building a great career.
2. Set in a world with supernatural abilities.
3. Some of the male characters are hopeless romantics, some are just collaborators, and some are subordinates. They won’t all stay on the heroine’s side forever.
4. The characters’ affection for the heroine does not necessarily mean they are in love with her.
5. Multiple endings. The main ending has the heroine achieve her goal. See the bonus chapters for the male characters’ individual endings.
Theme: Everyone should have a career of their own
