[The female lead is the emperor, not a female-dominant setting, third-person narration]
I transmigrated and became the emperor.
Modern education taught me that love means one-on-one tutoring, and that spending a lifetime with just one person is the right view of love and marriage.
But I am the supreme ruler. From the ministers at court to the favored concubines in the harem, there are handsome men galore, as beautiful as the moon in the sky and flowers on earth.
I mustn't be tempted by looks. I still want to hold out a little longer.
Then I saw the Noble Consort wielding a brush, the Virtuous Consort dancing with a sword, and the new beauty waiting for me on my way back from court every day. Even the handsome candidates in the Palace of Beautiful Women flirted with me every single day, rain or shine.
I'm sorry! I succumbed to the temptations of feudal decadence! Three thousand beauties in the harem? It really is wonderful!
I thought I would spend my life watching the court bicker and admiring the handsome faces of my consorts.
But then the Noble Consort rebelled.
It turned out the thawing of the iceberg that I imagined was merely a handout given because his grand plan was nearly complete. The harem rivalries I thought I saw were just a cover for a secret rebellion.
I was heartbroken, so I fled with the three palaces and six courtyards, along with the seventy concubines left behind, all looking utterly bewildered.
Then I restored the realm and unified the world.
