[Help! I transmigrated into the unfinished game I designed as an empress, and now I have a harem of three thousand and have to receive consorts. What should I do?]
One day, a help post like this suddenly appeared on the forum. The users weren't impressed:
[Are game marketers writing novels now?]
[What, a harem of three thousand? Tell us more about the receiving-consorts part. I'm all ears!]
But the original poster replied in a sincere tone:
[Thanks, everyone. I just transmigrated into the harem, and I'm receiving consorts right now. There are two male consorts: one has three heads and six arms and breathes fire, while the other's shadow moves on its own and dashes around the palace. They both want to kill me, and I'm just a helpless level-three emperor. How am I supposed to survive until morning?]
Bystanders: ???
[Games can be down-to-earth, but they shouldn't be connected to the underworld.]
[...Sure, everyone is free to have their own kinks, but I still suggest you see a doctor.]

If Jing Wenxin had known she'd transmigrate into her own game, she never would have abandoned it unfinished.
But she swears it was originally just an emperor-raising game. Why has the whole thing turned into this?
A drafty bedchamber, a decrepit imperial bed, miserable stats, a harem of three thousand "beauties" eyeing her like predators... and a whole bunch of rules she'd never heard of.
The guide NPC offered a friendly explanation:
"This is a harem survival game combining horror, escape, character development, romance... and more. Complete the objective to clear the game!"
Jing Wenxin: "Is my objective to win over the harem, or to focus on survival?"
Guide NPC: "Your objective is to kill all the harem bosses and become the true ruler of all beneath Heaven!"
Jing Wenxin saw black.

The harem has its own blessings. Defeat it, and I reap them.

Reader's guide:
1. This is not a matriarchal society, but a gender-swapped harem setup. The setting has a female emperor and male consorts, but the consorts are all dungeon bosses, not a harem in the conventional sense.
2. One-on-one romance, with little focus on the relationship and more on the plot. A lighthearted female-led story.
3. Written for my own enjoyment. If it's not your thing, please don't flame me.
