He's No Demon, He's Clearly a Blessing

To save time, Shen Xia randomly drew a bizarre thesis topic for his graduation paper:

"On the Possibility of an Emperor's Political Intrigue and Devotion to a Single Person Coexisting."

He was beside himself.

Anyone with half a brain could see it: love, my foot!

Those big trotters would definitely love the empire more!

This is a trick question!

I request that it be rejected!

His scheming, bespectacled advisor: The topic is final.

Shen Xia: ???

If you don't have enough ability, make up for it with a cheat.

After he got a nine-tailed fox bloodline BUG from the start,

Shen Xia's heart finally sank for good.

From then on, he was saddled with all kinds of labels: demon empress, demon concubine, femme fatale...

In short, every time the nation fell and the family perished, it was Shen Xia's fault.

Shen Xia: If your own boss is incompetent, don't blame me. He's the one who's always writing papers.

Bottom, slow transmigration. He meets various male prospects along the way, but ultimately there is no CP. The male lead will take the form of all kinds of fox spirits, femme fatales, and demon concubines or empresses.

His golden finger is boosting an emperor's fortune (and there will be more than one emperor) + a beauty capable of bringing a kingdom to its knees.

Foolish emperors and wise emperors are all emperors. The difference is... one wants only a beauty, while the other wants everything →_→

---Rules for this story's weird tale---

1. Everyone is evil, and they constantly deceive one another. Don't trust any character, including the male lead.

2. There are narrative tricks. What you see isn't the truth, so don't trust the supposed happy endings in each little world.

3. An all-knowing perspective may seem safe, but it's the biggest deception of all. Don't trust your eyes to tell you what's true.

All that said, the story's ending is open-ended, and every reader can interpret it for themselves.

If you like a happy ending, dig through the clues to find the happy ending.

If you like a bad ending, dig through the clues to find the bad ending.

The plot fragments are neutral and versatile. Feel free to use them however you like! Put them together in whatever way makes you happy!

(Readers who like to know everything ahead of time can skip straight to Chapter 87 for the answer, then go back to the beginning and collect the plot fragments.)
