Lend Me Three Thousand Lovesick Fool Thoughts

A proper story about a high-ranking, powerful woman who takes a serious look at a whole garden of beauties.

A high-ranking, powerful, and deathly afraid ancient person from another world suddenly gets a System interface in Simplified Chinese shoved in her face.

What do you think she'll do?

A. Panic: What kind of demon is trying to hurt me?

B. Look baffled: What are these blocky characters?

C. Fly into a rage: Whatever it is, get lost!

D. Throw a fit: If you won't get lost, then die. (Heh.)

There's also an E: All of the above.

The System tried to bind her seventeen times by force, and she slapped it down every time. In the end, as expected, it became a shut-in.

Fortunately, she can't read Simplified Chinese.

She'll never discover the pop-up messages about being erased, forced binding, having her consciousness replaced, and so on!

System: Stay calm. We can keep our heads down!

But a month flew by. The System blinked, and all the doctors, scholars, and great mages within a thousand miles had gathered right in front of it.

The quest required her to decipher Simplified Chinese within three months.

System: ...

System: I'm not exaggerating. I think I'm doomed.

In fact, Gao Xun's reason for deciding to keep this inexplicable System was particularly simple:

"It can check people's affection levels!"

The Great Eunuch, who had lovers everywhere, treated it like someone who'd never played a dating sim in her life. She'd see someone she knew and check their affection level, then see someone else she knew and check again. By the end, she was starting to question her whole life.

So she lowered her head and looked at the System.

System: ...

System: System? What System? I'm just an emotionless dating simulator. I don't know anything!

P.S. 1. This is a System story, but the System is useless.

P.S. 2. Alternate history. The heroine is a true female emperor, the sort who burns her enemy's ancestral temple and digs up their ancestors' graves after winning a war. She's atrociously bad at war.

P.S. 3. The romance is a complete mess, and the ethics are bizarre. Everyone but me is crazy.

This is a true harem story, and the romance-addicted characters are genuinely romance-addicted. The heroine is naturally flirtatious, a female Duan Zhengchun. I'm writing a woman who can charm anyone, regardless of gender. If that's not your thing, please move along.
