The Villain's Sixteenth Concubine (Matriarchy)

Please add my new story, "A Scheming Boyfriend Comes Knocking (GB)," to your collection

One-line summary: One second he's crying over a tragic, powerful villainess, and the next he's transmigrated into the role of her sixteenth male consort.

If you're in show business and beautiful, what might your career look like?

Either you're a popular young star whose career is taking off, with more leading roles than you can handle, or you're a hidden gem with no connections, stuck day after day playing the lovesick second male lead who's bullied by the male protagonist.

Shen Zhao was the latter.

Though his own career was going nowhere, his favorite character's career was soaring.

But lately, even his favorite character had hit a rough patch. She was on the verge of ascending to the throne when she was framed by villains and ultimately died a tragic death in prison.

The powerful female lead had become the great villainess. Shen Zhao was shocked. He looked into the reason and discovered that the shameless author had changed the female lead at the last minute, giving the role to the second female lead!

Shen Zhao was devastated by the news. Heartbroken, he fell from a horse while filming and died with his eyes wide open.

When he woke up, he discovered he had transmigrated.

The good news: he had become his favorite character's male consort. The bad news: his favorite character had fifteen other male consorts!

But so what? Shen Zhao sneered. He had plenty of strength and tricks to make sure she would have eyes for him alone from then on.

Zhao Luan had always known her harem was a mess. Her dear imperial sisters kept finding ways to send people into it, and she naturally indulged their dark intentions, refusing no one.

Recently, however, a male consort with outstanding looks and bearing had appeared, constantly hovering around her.

Whenever she was pretending to be affectionate with the others in her harem, he would show up with an innocent air. "I came at a bad time. If I'd known Brother was here, I wouldn't have come. Your Highness won't be annoyed with me, will you?"

Whenever someone tried to give her a seventeenth male consort, he would appear looking pitiful, tears brimming in his eyes. "Has Your Highness grown tired of me already? Fine, if that's how it is, I'll go die. I won't get in Your Highness's way anymore..."

In front of her, he was always tender and affectionate, but she could never tell if it was real or not.

What exactly are your intentions? Zhao Luan wanted to know.

But before she could find out, she was ambushed. The man who had always seemed so delicate in front of her threw himself in front of her without hesitation, taking the fatal blow in her place.

The pain she felt in that moment made her realize she could no longer do without him.
