Before I transmigrated, the System told me to collect the male leads' and male supporting characters' heartbreak points. Once the total exceeded ten thousand, I could pass through the gate between worlds and go home.
Easy points. Piece of cake.
The male lead was the eldest legitimate son of a prominent family, aloof and refined, with impeccable virtue. I used a few little tricks befitting a talented lady and noble gentleman, and he fell madly and faithfully in love with me. I made him my Imperial Consort.
The first male supporting character was a mighty general who defended the nation, brave in battle and steadfast as steel. I gave him my complete trust and appreciation, and he devoted himself to my service. I made him my Honored Imperial Consort.
The second male supporting character was the Regent's illegitimate son, gifted with extraordinary talent and utterly unsullied. But he had the misfortune to meet the wrong people: my imperial sister tricked him into giving her his heart, then abandoned him and presented him to me as a gift. I gladly accepted and made him my Noble Consort.
The nth male supporting character... There are too many to list them all.
That's right, I transmigrated into the body of a ridiculous (crossed out) exalted dog (…) emperor.
_(:D"∠)_
As everyone knows, the harem is a place of heartbreak. The men in the harem are all easily heartbroken, and the easiest of all to break is my Imperial Consort.
When a Noble Consort argued with him and accidentally knocked him down, I punished him severely.
When his paternal clan committed an offense, he knelt and begged me to show mercy. I turned a deaf ear.
When his illegitimate younger brother became famous for his beauty, I ordered him to arrange for the boy to join my harem, and tacitly allowed his younger brother to bully him.
During negotiations with the enemy, they offered to stop the war for ten years in exchange for a dance from my Imperial Consort. Good heavens, I was afraid they'd change their minds, so I pushed him out without hesitation and told him to dance for them.
Heartbreak points over ten thousand? They were already over a hundred thousand!

The day I left, the Imperial Consort wore flowing white robes, his dark hair loose and his wrists bruised from being bound for so long. With red-rimmed eyes, he clutched my skirt. "Your Majesty said you wouldn't abandon me. You promised we would be together for our whole lives, just the two of us..."
"I don't dare ask you to love only me. I don't want anything. I'll manage the harem for you. Please, Your Majesty, don't go..."
I sighed.
I'm sorry. I'm a heartless woman.
I'm going home

I-I didn't go home. TOT
It was all a trick, every bit of it. According to that damn novel's setting, how could I possibly go home just like that? The System said I had to settle the extra ninety thousand heartbreak points first.
To hell with that. I'm done trying!
Hehe, being a dog emperor isn't so bad after all.
1. This is a self-indulgent story by a girl whose heart was broken by old-school angsty novels years ago. It has lots of old-school elements, but with the genders reversed. Men can get pregnant.
2. Men get tortured, wholesale. If your thing is seeing men suffer, this is a feel-good story.
3. A silly, fluffy style, with everyday jealousy, catfights, and men competing for favor.
4. The main story is told in third person.
