Conquer! The Glorious Empress Game Is Underway

You're a veteran otome game player, and you've been playing The Splendor of the Great Zhao Empress for over a year.

Thanks to your tireless efforts, you've collected every romanceable character with an appearance rating above 90.

Your only regret is that some non-romanceable characters are gorgeous too, but the game's restrictions mean you can never win them over.

The System hears your thoughts.

You transmigrate into the game.

1. The energetic young general who wins you over later and becomes your consort [Romanceable]

When you were a commandery princess, he rescued you from the rebels as a boy, and the rescuer fell in love at first sight. You gently wipe the blood from his face with a handkerchief, and he resolves to marry no one but you, even though you've made it clear that you're already betrothed.

2. The aloof noble who becomes your original spouse in place of your childhood sweetheart [Romanceable]

As the eldest legitimate son of a powerful clan, he takes the place of his runaway uncle, who was betrothed to you, and marries you. After you ascend the throne, you try to let him leave the palace, but he kneels before you and says, "If you truly don't like me, just grant me death. That way, I can still be your husband in name."

3. Your witty imperial elder brother who hands over the throne [Not romanceable]

You are the daughter of his father's junior fellow disciple. On your twentieth birthday, he asks what you want as a gift. You bluntly say you want to be emperor. He suddenly understands, and announces his decision to abdicate the next day.

4. The world-weary, sickly deposed emperor [Romanceable]

5. The austere State Preceptor who would rather die than submit [Not romanceable]

Reader's guide:

1. You don't become empress until the middle of the story, and there's basically no career plotline, just romance.

2. There are more male characters than the ones listed above. I couldn't fit them all in the blurb.

3. It's a text-based game, written in the second person, with choices.

4. BG, but the men can get pregnant.

Theme: Treat others sincerely, and give them your genuine affection
