Everyone's Favorite Simulator

Blurb:

A player playing a life simulator randomly draws the [Ancient-Era Heartthrob] scenario.

In the first round, they draw the identity [Refined Young Lady], with 50 in looks, 50 in intelligence, and 50 in health. Mm, a very ordinary start for an ordinary person.

The good news is, the player can steal luck from SSR characters to raise all their stats.

[At age 5, you become the county magistrate's adopted daughter.]

[At age 10, you make a name for yourself at a poetry gathering and become a famous young poet in Qinghe County.]

[At age 13, the newly appointed governor is full of praise for you and regards you as a kindred spirit.]

[At age 15, the Prince of Boling passes through the area, falls in love with you at first sight by the banks of the Qing River, and wishes to marry you. That same year, by imperial decree, you enter the palace as a court lady.]

Looking at the results screen, the player says, "Fuck, that was exhausting! I'm never doing this scenario again, no matter what!"

The player, ready to lie flat, starts the second round. Oh wow!

Maxed-out looks, a god-tier start.

[At age 0, you are born in the era of the two sovereigns ruling together.]

[At age 1, you become the Crown Princess.]

[At age 5, the imperial physicians believe you, frail and sickly, won't live past twenty. To bring you good fortune, your father and mother select ten boys your age from across the country to serve as your consorts.]

The player lazily looks at the SSR symbols above their heads, but doesn't want to grind like last time. Anyway, just gathering a little luck along the way should be enough for the frail Crown Princess to make it to the ending!

But the various ways they claw at each other for attention leave the player dumbfounded.
