A novel with a game-like format, all about “you decide who joins your harem.”
The choice will be placed in the hands of all you Empresses through voting~
In the 127th year of the Ling Dynasty, Crown Princess Xiling Yueguan ascended the throne. In less than half a year, she had purged the court, crushed the rebels, and secured her position as empress.
From then on, she became the first reigning empress of the Ling Dynasty to be celebrated by the people throughout the land.
Yet beneath the people’s praise lay the ambitions of countless unmarried men of the Ling Dynasty.
The refined and reserved eldest legitimate son of the chancellor, a man skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the virtues and conduct expected of men. From the day he came of age, matchmakers seeking his hand had crowded the capital. He was perfect in every way, except that he was devoted to a quiet, celibate life and wanted to serve in government, not enter the palace.
A spoiled, reckless young man in red, the nephew of the Grand Lord, your cousin, and the young heir of the Marquis of the Realm-Protecting Estate. He is lively by nature and as wild as a spirited horse, but prone to jealousy and possible villainous corruption, with a touch of a green tea personality.
The seemingly upright but actually possessive and sinister Imperial Preceptor, who keeps wanting to “turn the tables” on you. He is deeply calculating, renowned throughout the land, and will stop at nothing to obtain whatever he cannot have.
Your Majesties, choose one of them to enter the palace as your consort~
[Usage Notes: 1. Dear Empress, the vote will be held on Weibo (mainly so the results are clear at a glance, not because I want everyone to follow me there).
2. Dear Empress, this story allows a lot of freedom, but updates are slow. When it’s on a ranking list, I’ll post one chapter according to the word count required by the list. When it isn’t, I’ll post at least 10,000 words a week (one chapter).
3. Dear Empress, there will be choices beyond picking your harem. For example, when your beloved consorts start fighting, will you help both, help neither, or make things worse?
4. If you like it, please add it to your favorites. Thank you~ Your Majesties are welcome to make mischief~
5. I’m fragile, so please don’t be too harsh on me (I’m begging you).]
