Blurb:
On the tenth day after being recognized by the marquis's family, Ying Yue was set up by her birth parents and forced to marry in place of the fake daughter to a powerful prince who had originally taken a fancy to her.
Just as she was about to despair, a voice suddenly appeared in Ying Yue's mind, claiming to be the "Lord-Raising System" and asking whether she wanted to draw cards and summon her "retainers."
With no hope left and ready to die, Ying Yue chose to draw a card. And then
...the "retainer" she drew slaughtered the entire princely household for her, then led her all the way to a bandits' den, where they seized a mountain and declared themselves rulers.

When war first broke out across the land, none of the rival warlords paid any attention to Ying Yue, a useless beauty.
A good-for-nothing lord with nothing but a pretty face, and a woman to boot. Does she really think she can ascend the throne? Her proper fate should be to marry, support her husband, and raise children.
Yet while the rival warlords were struggling to attract talent and recruit soldiers, the very Ying Yue they looked down on had already overtaken them by taking a shortcut.
The peerless beauty whom the whole world knew as a good-for-nothing leaned against her undefeated general and made a ten-pull for capable ministers. One great figure after another appeared under her rule
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've drawn an SSR card: Xun Yu, the talent scout of Yingchuan! The sickly duo, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, are bound as companions!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've obtained the SSR set: the Four Great Physicians, Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji, and Li Shizhen!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've drawn a special SP card: Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of the Ages! Eight thousand Terracotta Warriors included. Please figure out what to do with them yourself!]
Enemy faction: ??? We're all warlords fighting for supremacy, so how come you get to cheat?
Ying Yue: Maybe it's because I'm pretty and I listen to advice...?
P.S.:
1. Nation-building story. The female lead will ascend the throne, but she's not a strong, ruthless heroine. She's pampered by everyone.
2. The author is writing for herself. I just want to write what I like, so please don't ask me to change the story's setup however you please. Thanks for reading, mwah!
3. Everyone except the male lead has familial or platonic feelings for the female lead. Only the male lead has romantic feelings for her.
4. [Important] The setting is entirely fictional, fictional, very fictional. Please don't nitpick the historical details. [Important]
5. Please don't mention other stories under my story, and don't mention my story under other people's stories.
6. More to be added.

Preorder: I Refused to Become the Stand-In for the Male Lead in a Redemption-and-Regret Novel, Then Became Emperor
Blurb:
Three years after the new Emperor ascended the throne, the people were starving and the land was ravaged.
Just as life was becoming impossible, Ying Zao suddenly became bound to a System. It told her that the world she lived in was actually just a book.
The male lead in the book was the current Emperor. The female lead was a princess of the former dynasty who had once deeply loved him and forced their marriage. Three years ago, after he overthrew her dynasty, she jumped from the city wall, but she didn't die. She would return a few years later to take revenge, and the two of them would begin a love story filled with physical and emotional torment, tragic and moving. Everything in this world existed to serve their love.
As for Ying Zao, she was just a nameless, faceless commoner suffering through the "dire straits" in the book.
But now, an amazing opportunity lay right in front of her. She looked a lot like the female lead. If she appeared before the Emperor, who was currently suffering over losing the female lead, she could surely soothe his pain.
[As long as you make the Emperor fall in love with you before the female lead returns and save him from his misery, you'll have endless wealth and glory!]
Listening to the System's nonsense, Ying Zao stuck a shovel into the ground and sneered. They wanted a poor commoner, nearly killed by the tyrant, to save the very culprit who ate and drank like a king every day? What kind of brainless, idiotic idea was that?
Save him? Not a chance. With this opportunity, she'd become Emperor herself!
The tyrant sits upon his throne while we suffer and can barely survive. Why shouldn't we rise up and rule for ourselves?
Preorder: Becoming Emperor Suits Me Better (Quick Transmigration)
Blurb:
Fresh out of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, System 1551 accidentally bound itself to a powerful Host with a bad temper. As a result, ordinary romance-novel worlds turned into this
World One: The princess forced into an incestuous relationship by a tyrannical Emperor
The female lead was the daughter of a seductive consort, brought into the palace and made a princess. The male lead hated the consort, so naturally he hated the female lead too. After the late Emperor and the consort died, he found all kinds of ways to humiliate her and force her to submit, making her his concubine.
In the end, he realized that he'd fallen deeply in love with her while forcing himself on her. He told the female lead how he felt and said he had only hurt her because his unhappy childhood had left him unable to love, not because he'd meant to. The gentle, kind female lead felt sorry for him and forgave him. They ended up together and got their happy ending.
After Ying Yun transmigrated into the story:
On the night the female lead was supposed to be forced into an incestuous relationship and verbally humiliated by the male lead, Ying Yun stomped hard on his fingers and laughed, her smile wild and carefree. "Even if I'm a fake princess, tomorrow I'll still become the true Emperor of this land. As for you, you couldn't even win over a fake princess. You're such a useless piece of trash. Why don't you take some time to reflect?"
World Two: The orphan saved by a man who then wanted to make her his concubine
The female lead was a medical woman who lived in the mountains and made her living gathering herbs. One day, she happened to rescue the male lead, who had been framed and nearly killed, brought him home, and cared for him tenderly. Out of gratitude for being saved, and because she had fallen on hard times, the male lead married her.
Later, the male lead's former followers came to escort the Crown Prince back to the capital. Once he'd regained his power, he told others that the female lead was his concubine because of her low status. The unambitious female lead didn't protest. She simply packed her things quietly and left a place that no longer needed her.
But just after she'd settled down, the male lead caught up with her, carrying her fiance's head. His whole body radiated menace, and his eyes were icy. "Who else would you marry besides me?"
After Ying Yun transmigrated into the story:
On the day the female lead was told that her status made her unworthy of becoming his principal wife and that she shouldn't even dream of it, Ying Yun cheerfully cut off all three of his legs, then said with a radiant smile, "Now, a country bumpkin like you is no match for the future Crown Princess. But I did save your life, so killing you would waste my efforts. From now on, you'll be a little eunuch by my side."
World Three: A fallen noblewoman forced to become a kept woman by a powerful man
Other worlds yet to be decided.
*
A fun, indulgent story, not realistic. No matter how each world begins, the female lead always ends up becoming Emperor.
Theme: No matter what era you live in, never give up striving.
Although, I can't imagine what it would be like if there were just a few of them in one dormitory.
There was no follow-up to such a sweet beginning? I really want to see the follow-up of the three sisters' incompetence and rage after they find out that they have lured the wolf into the house.
This setting is so sweet (crazy hint)
When will the next book be released? I've been waiting so long that the flowers have withered.
This book is really good. The author should write more articles of the same type.
Hahahahaha I don't know if this is too much or not, I just know that you are going to get beaten
Woohoo, no more... I love this kind of writing, but it seems like I can only find two of them so far.
Hahahahahahahah
Ah, the chase is over. Be energetic, be energetic
I want to see the historical masters who draw cards from the Hegemony system and advise me not to waste money.
