I Became Empress with the Favorite Consort System

Lu Wei, a woman from the twenty-first century, became Lu Erya in the late Ming Dynasty. Peasant uprisings raged within the borders, while beyond them Hong Taiji had taken the throne and renamed the era Tiancong.

The Later Jin forces moved south to raid and plunder. Lu Erya's parents grabbed their son and abandoned her as they fled for their lives.

Fifteen-year-old Lu Wei looked up amid the crying crowd. A strange, mechanical voice sounded in her ear.

Consort System activated. Current environment of Host detected. To increase the chance of meeting Hong Taiji, please claim your activation reward:

Auspicious Signs in the Sky

Host, seize this chance, rise step by step, win the emperor's deep affection, and become the mistress of the imperial harem.

That day, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky. A blue dragon and a fiery phoenix soared and danced among the clouds, visible to thousands of refugees.

Lu Wei stood atop a pile of corpses with a spear in her hand, while rainbow clouds scattered above her head.

She stood with her spear raised and shouted, "Stop running around! I'll lead you out of here!"

The next day, after surviving, Lu Wei learned that the Consort System had accidentally shattered into four pieces. So on the same day she activated the auspicious sign, a girl on an island to the east was saved from danger by a nine-tailed demon that appeared behind her, while in Europe an angelic phantom appeared and sang when another girl prayed...

Only by becoming the Queen of All Phoenixes could she gather the pieces and obtain the complete Consort System.

Lu Wei smiled.

If you travel through time to the Qing Dynasty and don't rebel, you might as well get an electric drill shoved up your ass. The hell with being an imperial consort!

Content notes: 1. This is a power fantasy, so don't overanalyze some details.

2. The setting is partly fictionalized. Birth and death dates, personalities, and life stories of some historical figures have been adjusted to suit the story. Don't compare everything with actual history.

3. If you insist on arguing, then I'm right.

Premise: Never giving up is a kind of courage in life.
