Blurb One:
Chu Yu transmigrated.
Bad news: She had only three days left to live.
Good news: She was bound to a Harem-Loving System. As long as she received someone's genuine love, she could extend her lifespan.
System: Win over your evil mother-in-law, and your lifespan increases by five years.
Chu Yu put on a supernatural act, and her whole family thought she was possessed by a fox spirit.
Her mother-in-law knelt before Chu Yu and wept bitterly. "Great Immortal, bless me! This old woman will worship you with all sincerity. I only pray that in my next life, I can be reborn as a human being."
Chu Yu: "Your good deeds are complete. In your next life, you will be reborn as a human."
The evil mother-in-law's eyes lit up, and the progress bar instantly filled.
System: Win over the emperor. He'll desire his minister's wife and be unable to let her go, and your lifespan increases by ten years!
Chu Yu: "Got it."
The old emperor encountered a tiger while hunting. Chu Yu came down from the heavens like Wu Song, punching one tiger after another.
The emperor asked Chu Yu what reward she wanted.
System: "Hurry and get him to take you into the palace!"
Chu Yu shouted, "Dear Father, please accept your child's bow!"
The emperor gazed at Chu Yu's little fists, smeared with tiger blood, his eyes brimming with tears. "This is my own daughter, even if we aren't related by blood!"
A new ruler ascended the throne, facing internal and external troubles and an unstable claim to the throne.
System: Win over the new emperor. Your sworn older brother, who isn't related to you by blood, will lock his beautiful, delicate younger sister away in the palace, doting on her like a treasure while yearning for a love he can't have. Your lifespan increases by twenty years!
Chu Yu: "Understood."
The court suffered repeated defeats in its military campaigns abroad. Chu Yu volunteered to lead the army. With five thousand soldiers, she cut through the battlefield, sending back one victory report after another.
The new emperor: "Such a pillar of the court deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
When the third-generation emperor ascended the throne, the System had no choice but to issue another mission.
System: A young emperor who has just taken the throne falls in love with his aunt, who isn't related to him by blood. Your lifespan increases by thirty years.
Chu Yu rubbed her hands together. "Great!"
On Chu Yu's hundredth birthday, the System hurled the script for The Empress of Three Dynasties: A Love That Conquers All into the recycle bin.
Blurb Two:
Chu Yu looked at the ten attribute points in her beginner's gift pack and fell into deep thought.
System: Put them all into beauty, and you'll reach 90 (beauty that puts the moon to shame). Everyone is guaranteed to fall in love at first sight and then fall even harder the second time.
Chu Yu: "That's a great suggestion. I'll put them all into strength."
Strength: 99 (able to lift mountains and cauldrons)
System: "..."
System: Win over your husband, who favors his concubine and neglects his wife. Fill the progress bar, and your lifespan increases by three months.
Chu Yu snapped her husband's arm with her bare hands and demanded, "Tell me, do you love me or not?"
Husband: "I do..."
Chu Yu glanced at the progress bar and snapped his other arm. "You're lying!"
Husband: "I love you, I love you, I love you!"
Chu Yu punched him, her face full of pain. "Why don't you love me?"
Her husband wept bitterly. "I love you! I really love you more than anyone!"
Chu Yu kicked him, grabbed the stone table, and was about to smash him with it. "Liar!"
System: "It's going up, it's going up! Host, calm down!"
Chu Yu quietly put down the stone table, which weighed hundreds of pounds, and asked the System, "Tell me, am I not an expert at winning people over?"
Looking at the 100% progress bar, the System couldn't help feeling that something was off.

Reader Advisory:
1. A strong female lead story, written for my own enjoyment. The female lead is my favorite kind of tough woman, with ridiculously high combat ability. No angst for the main character, just pure fun.
2. This story is a rewritten version of the "favoring concubines and neglecting the wife" arc in I Don't Care, I'll Go Crazy.
Theme: Your fate is in your own hands
