Have I Ruled the World Like an Empress Today?

This story is complete: a short, sweet 170,000-character treat you can enjoy all at once! A perpetual runner-up in Olympic fencing and a devoted reader of palace-intrigue novels transmigrates into the body of a 180-jin imperial concubine. Determined to help the original owner turn her life around, she sets her sights on becoming empress. But this harem is… a little different from what I imagined? At first, I thought I'd transmigrated into the heroine of a palace-intrigue novel. After face-slapping the villain right after transmigrating, I thought I was in a wish-fulfillment story. Now I understand completely: I'm in an absurd comedy!! Other people's palace intrigues: aborting pregnancies, framing rivals, and fighting for the emperor's favor. My palace intrigues: brawling and getting chased by geese set loose by naughty kids. Other people's emperors: handsome, promiscuous, and charming to everyone. My emperor: hasn't finished growing up yet. The retired emperor wants to help me take the throne. But I'm plotting to seduce him. Retired Emperor: There'll be consequences for having a crush on me. The current emperor ascended the throne at six. At fifteen, he took back control of the court by executing three thousand people. At seventeen, he used a single scheme to strip the feudal lords of their power. At twenty-two, he ended royal marriages and tribute payments, and formally declared war on Beiyan. At twenty-six, he led a personal campaign and wiped out a century-old threat. At twenty-seven, he expanded the Yin Dynasty to its largest territory ever. At twenty-eight, he welcomed envoys from all four corners of the world, and the realm submitted to his rule. And now… now the emperor smiles warmly and holds out his hand to me: “I'd like a piece of candy from Miss Lin.” A goofy swordswoman x a retired tyrant, with plenty of sweet moments. Transmigrate through mountains of blades and seas of blood, and watch the sunset hand in hand. My new story, “This Princess Has a Plan”: the story of a flirtatious princess who sets her sights on an aloof, unattainable beauty. When Yuhe came of age, she wasn't even granted the title of commandery princess. She spent ten years helping her father seize the throne, and ended up becoming a princess herself. On the night of the coronation, Yuhe, drunk, mounted her horse and rode west, away from the clamorous fireworks, intending to avenge her mother's murder. * For the first twenty-eight years of his life, Li Xiu's secret to self-control was this: be wary of anything that makes you fall in love too quickly. Things like strong liquor, gemstones, and candied sweets. Things like Duan Yuhe. He moved carefully, guarding his heart, but the dam eventually broke. Yuhe asked, “Li Xiu, what's the best way to get rid of a desire?” Restraint? Distraction? Meditation? Yuhe said, “Satisfy it.” She kissed him. * A princess sent away in a political marriage returns home to attend a funeral and dies on the way, bearing a mysterious wound. The emperor forbids an investigation, and the matter is dropped. Thirteen years later, the princess's daughter returns to the place where it happened. She pierces through layers of fog and uncovers a long-buried secret. Schemes and plots, open attacks and hidden daggers: none of them frighten her. Because she's even better at them than her opponents. A quirky, flirtatious princess who insists she absolutely won't fall in love x a prim, proper, unattainable beauty who seems unmoved, but always turns back no matter how deeply he's hurt as long as she gives him the tiniest bit of sweetness: a loyal subject. A revenge-focused main plot, with mysteries to solve on the side, one case per arc. Also known as “Every Time I Turn Down the Princess, a New Man Appears at Her Side,” “Wait, I'm the Male Lead?” and “A Woman's Words Are All Lies.” Theme: Promote the Olympic spirit.
