I Don't Play Politics, but I Do Toy with Powerful Ministers (GB)

Qi Mu had only just ascended the throne and held no real power at all. She was a puppet empress whom anyone could manipulate, and her treacherous ministers, with their wolfish ambitions, were always ready to devour her whole.

Everyone was waiting for her to die in that position.

Qi Mu raised the corner of her eye. “Sorry, I don't know how to play politics, but I'm very good at manipulating powerful ministers.”

She had caused someone's parents to die, yet could still calmly watch that person fall in love with her. At last, the day came when her secret was exposed. She thought that person would do whatever it took to drag her from her throne.

Instead, they inexplicably asked, “Your Majesty, are you no longer even willing to say a few words to deceive me?”

The man's eyes were red, and he looked utterly betrayed.

The most holy of saints had devoted his entire life to teaching, yet for her sake, he killed his own brother. His hand, usually holding a brush, was stained with blood, and he was in a daze.

She mistakenly thought the saint had come to her for comfort. She glanced at him coolly. “Did I ask you to do this?”

But the saint looked at her with shadowed eyes, then glanced over cautiously. “Will Your Majesty hate me for looking like this?”

After all that, it turned out he was only afraid she would despise him.

“...”

Qi Mu transmigrated into a book and became an Alpha supporting character who had been divorced by the male lead.

She thought she could escape her former treacherous ministers, but she never expected the male lead's elders and brothers to be her former subjects as well.

The System gloated: “Someone's about to get unlucky...”

Before the words were even out, the male lead was attacked and knocked to the ground. It was impossible to tell who had struck him.

Or maybe they all did...
