The Palace Intrigue System Got the Wrong Script

[A plot idea for now, please bookmark! Screenshot of the idea dated 2020.2.29]

Ruan Yunsu had just come out of the Grudge instance, with blood still drying on her face, when she transmigrated. In the blink of an eye, she was transported to an ancient palace selection, stuck in a delicate, frail body and bound to a palace intrigue System. Her main quest was to make a name for herself in history and become a famed consort of her generation.

At first, she wanted no part of it. Scheming and plotting in the harem sounded worse than using brute force to overthrow the throne and become ruler herself. But who could have guessed the harem would be exceptionally harmonious? The backstabbing and framing she had imagined simply did not exist!

So... treating this place as a vacation world where she could snack on gossip and enjoy the show wasn't so bad, was it?

The known residents of this amazing harem include: a reborn empress, dignified and virtuous, who was betrayed in her previous life by a fickle, treacherous emperor. She despises him but has no choice but to be his empress. She is skilled in perfumery, and the bewitching incense she makes gives the emperor incredibly realistic dreams.

A dream-demon hybrid noble consort, peerlessly beautiful and aloof, who stays in the harem to absorb the emperor's dragon energy. She never lets him get close, and even when he summons her to his bed, she gets away with it by making him dream.

A cultivator and virtuous consort, ethereal and otherworldly, who stays by the emperor's side to avoid a lightning tribulation and cultivate. She fools him with illusions, making him believe they have already spent the night together.

A transmigrated lotus consort, a pitiful little white lotus with a portable space containing a spiritual spring and cultivation techniques. Before transmigrating, she was a wage slave who considered the 996 work schedule a blessing. But in the harem, she and the virtuous consort become obsessed with cultivation and treat it as a job, continuing to work 996. She has no interest in the emperor's bed and, like the virtuous consort, uses illusions to fool the treacherous emperor.

A quick transmigration soft consort, gentle and lovely, tender as water. A quick transmigration veteran who takes on romance missions, she initially plans to diligently play the palace intrigue game and win over the emperor. But before she can even spend the night with him, the harem's eccentric big-shot sisters lead her astray, and she happily joins them in snacking on gossip and enjoying the show.

There are also the ordinary bystanders: Noblewoman Pu, Noblewoman Tong, Noblewoman Lu, and Noblewoman Ren. They follow the big shots around, cheering them on and sharing the food and fun.

By the end of this story, the treacherous emperor is still a virgin.

P.S. No couples in the story, only sisterly affection among the harem women.

Theme: Work together in harmony, and don't tear each other down.
