The game The Empire's First Prince has launched to great fanfare. As an expert at romance games, Shi Ji is sure that winning over the four characters and achieving a happy ending will be a piece of cake. But just as her affection scores max out and she thinks she can clear the game, the empire falls and every route ends in a bad ending. At last, she understands the true essence of a strategy and management game.
You can't clear the game by focusing only on romance. Becoming the Crown Prince is the right way to go!
Just as she is brimming with confidence and preparing to start a new playthrough, Shi Ji transmigrates into the game. When the Crown Prince of a neighboring country, her classmate, presents her with a coming-of-age gift at a banquet, she realizes she has returned to her save file from when she was eighteen.
Her beloved older brother has yet to launch a rebellion. The pure and untainted Holy Son of the Temple has yet to be corrupted by the Evil God. The youngest major general, who was destined to die defending the nation, is still bold and unruly. The Great Mage's allegiance remains uncertain. The empire is thriving and prosperous. It's not too late to change anything.
As for the character affection scores she built up before turning eighteen, Shi Ji firmly decides to leave them alone. After all, if the country falls, she's done for too. How is chasing men more important than staying alive?

Everyone knows that the Third Princess of the Micia Empire is adored by her father and brothers. But her noble status can't change the fact that she's delicate and frail. Yet after her eighteenth birthday, the Third Princess disappeared from high society, leaving everyone to speculate. Then one day, the Crown Prince of Micia was officially named, and the ceremony was broadcast throughout the interstellar realms. Everyone looked closely and realized...
Isn't this the SSS-rank top student who appeared out of nowhere at the United Military Academy three years ago?!
The empire has never lacked for rising stars, and the brightest of them all in Micia these days is the Crown Prince. In just a few short years, she has gone from the empire's treasured jewel to its sharpest blade against its enemies. Her admirers span every race across the interstellar realms, too many to count.
Just as Shi Ji finally earns the [Empire's Blade] achievement and prepares to enjoy a wonderful life, the System sounds another warning.
[High corruption detected in a character. Reduce the character's corruption, or there is a very high chance of reaching a bad ending.]
Shi Ji: "?"
Only then does she remember to open the character screen. The characters whose affection scores she thought would be low have somehow developed feelings for her that are all wildly out of control.
That very night, Shi Ji writes a heartfelt letter of advice to the game's developers.
#Hello, my boyfriend is the empire. Please let me have a happy ending.#
