The Tragic Heroine’s Plan to Take the Throne [Quick Transmigration]

[This story is complete. There will be occasional bonus chapters, and I'm currently correcting typos throughout.]

A quick guide before you start:

1. No romance.

2. Fundamentally an absurd, invincible power fantasy, with an overpowered golden finger.

3. Expect some over-the-top, chuunibyou-style antics~

Transmigrating into an angst novel: bad news x1

Becoming the angst novel's heroine: bad news x2

Having a golden finger, but it's all about winning favor, having lucky pregnancies, being a virtuous wife, and beauty: bad news x3

System: “Our goal is to turn angst into sweetness!”

Ning Zheng: “So what's the mission?”

System: “Obviously, you have to stand out among all the pretty women, green tea schemers, and white lotuses, make the male lead abuse you physically and emotionally and slaughter your whole family, then have him suddenly realize that you're the one and only love of his life!”

Ning Zheng: “...Get to the point.”

System: “Oh, easy. You have to win over the male lead. Get his affection to 100 and you'll clear the game!”

“Win him over?” Ning Zheng looked at her stats and thought it over. “If I ascend the throne, would the male lead's loyalty reaching 100 count as clearing the game?”

System: “??”

[General's Concubine Script]

When the city falls, she's offered as a gift. Everyone in the military camp waits to see the noblewoman brought low.

She pulls out a fertility card, a rapid-growth card, and a ten-babies-at-once card.

“Hey, this mare can have ten foals at once! Let's breed cavalry in no time!”

The sinister general: ??

Later, people all across the land begin worshipping statues of the Earth Mother Goddess.

[Prince's Favored Concubine Script]

Born in a brothel, she is mocked by the prince, who lifts her chin and sneers that she'll never amount to much.

She pulls out a beauty card and punches a hole through the Eight Immortals table.

“An Elixir of Strength costs 888 a pill. Want one? I have 20 tons, enough to conquer the whole world!”

The flirtatious prince: !!

Later, dressed in a dragon robe in the throne hall, she says, “Address me as Your Majesty!”

[Concubine's Daughter Substitute Script]

On the night of her arranged marriage, the emperor grips her by the throat, his eyes red. “You'll never surpass your older sister!”

She pulls out a favor-winning card, and the entire imperial harem joins forces to do research.

The cold emperor: ?!

Later, the history books record: Emperor Taizu Ning swept through six kingdoms with her arsenal.

The System wails, “But our mission is to win over the male lead and create the sweetest love story ever!”

Ning Zheng: “Isn't this sweet enough?”

Content warnings:

2. Female supporting characters include a general, a chancellor, and government officials. If you don't like that, consider this your warning.

3. The female lead is emperor and will have male favorites, but none will be named. If you don't like that, consider this your warning.

4. Female supporting characters will hold high office and also have male favorites. If you don't like that, consider this your warning.
