I Woke Up as the Head of the Empire

"I want to conquer the stars and the sea, but what do I do when all my subordinates want to go dark and fall in love?"

(Downward rebellion. The female lead is the spiritual leader of an empire, isn't very strong herself, and naturally inspires goodwill from other species.

Her subordinates' affection for her is maxed out. After she uninstalled the mobile game, they felt 'abandoned' and may have gone dark to varying degrees?)

Yun Qing, a gaming expert and a genuine big spender, played a starship warfare gacha game called Stars, ready to dominate the universe.

SSR card? Spend!

Not enough affection? Spend!

Calamity-class starship? Spend!

After seeing her maxed-out breakthrough and affection screens, and the mighty Galactic Empire she'd built, Yun Qing uninstalled the game without a second thought. What a lonely feeling it is to be invincible!

And then...

Yun Qing closed her eyes, and transmigrated into the interstellar world.

A silver-haired man knelt on one knee, reverently took her hand, and kissed it. His eyes held the dark tide churning beneath a frozen river, and his voice was hoarse. "Welcome back, Your Majesty~"

At the same time, the cheerful voice of the guidance sprite sounded in Yun Qing's mind:

"Congratulations, veteran player number 1077, on unlocking a hidden mission.

Please remove the corruption from all SSR characters within one hundred days and achieve a happy ending."

Yun Qing: "!!!" No! She's not a veteran player! She's just a big spender!

Can she pay her way out of this? QAQ

* Live for Your Majesty, die for Your Majesty, and for Your Majesty... brave every obstacle!

* Wherever Your Majesty's heart leads, there our swords shall point.

[Reader's guide:]

1. The female lead is the spiritual leader of the empire. This is an otome story, with every character having one-sided feelings for her. The male lead takes a laid-back, go-with-the-flow approach, and there may be individual side stories.

2. The female lead is loved by both men and women, and is very, very, ridiculously Mary Sue. It may not be to everyone's taste.

3. Lots of personal headcanons. No nitpicking over historical accuracy.

I got this idea while playing a shipgirl game. This is a Mary Sue otome story disguised as a power fantasy. The blurb reflects the original concept and may change.
