Ancient Romance Simulator

What does Yuan Lu represent to everyone? Obsession, carnal desire, a sea of sin. Life and death, grudges and vengeance, defiance. She is the first light of a new day, hanging high in the heavens, enough to bring tears to your eyes. To give everything up for her, raise the nine heavens for her and then descend the celestial steps: beyond one's control, beyond forgiveness. But to Yuan Lu, life is: plot twists, game start, log in again. She's just an ordinary player who likes dramatic, angsty romances. What did she do wrong? The player's goals are: stir up trouble, stir up trouble, stir up trouble! As long as it's exciting, who cares about tragic love and bitter hatred? Game rounds: · Childhood sweethearts, innocent and inseparable, except the childhood sweethearts are both boys, so are there three of them? [Completed] Cast: upright and proper eldest brother, gloomy and sensitive younger brother, and a dash of youthful, spirited older sister (the three Lu siblings) --- From the moment they first met, he hated her. Later, he came to resent her. He knew he was inferior to his second brother in every way, but if he didn't fight for her, he would have nothing. · Interlude: The vicious guide who abuses sentinels [Completed] Cast: dog, bird, butterfly, snake --- Yuan Lu: Thanks for asking. Being a vicious supporting female character is pretty fun, but I really didn't do much to them! How did fooling around count as completing the mission? 0.0 · But I Just Happen to Like the Gentle Second Male Lead [Completed] Cast: cult's alluring demon who evolves into its leader, gentle junior fellow disciple, aloof master, and a flirtatious young master (extra features faux mother and son, plus the cult leader's twisted second-generation fanboy; proceed with caution) --- "Sister Lu, how am I inferior to him?" "You're better than him in every way, and even better than me in every way. It's because you're too good that I feel ashamed... I'm sorry. My junior brother and I have known each other since childhood. He's clumsy, but I can never stop worrying about him." · Teasing the Secret Guard [Completed] Cast: a lonely young emperor who rose to power by living off others and is fickle in love, Lu x powerful ministers, imperial younger brother, secret guard "Watch me defy the bonds of propriety for you, and lose myself in dreams of you. Is this what you wanted?" "Only now do you realize I did it on purpose, Teacher?" (My virtuous husband helped me rise to prominence, so I gave him two mistresses, then took ten thousand taels of gold from him.) · Call Me Big Brother for a Lifetime [Completed] Cast: lovesick, fawning former emperor (the older brother) x empress dowager (his unhinged, troublemaking younger sister) x radiant, saintly young nobleman (also an older brother), useful eunuch, haughty puppy of a stepdaughter "Marriage isn't the end of love. Death is." "Would you die for me, Brother?" *None of the older brothers are blood-related to her or on the same household register. Next, we get to see how the author uses some miraculous schemes to package up two older brothers who don't know each other and deliver them both to Lu. The love triangle is complete! · I Lost My Memory, So Remarrying Is Perfectly Reasonable, Right? [Completed] "Gold won't do, silver won't do, people won't do, ghosts won't do. In the underworld's palace, even Heaven won't pass judgment." Everyone knows that the inscrutable Ghost City, Buhuan, can fulfill your most secret desires, but it can also claim the lives of the most noble. The wandering young fortune-teller Yuan Lu uses her half-baked fortune-telling skills to woo the richest young master in the world. She and the pure-hearted young master embark on an adventure, heading straight into the supposedly most dangerous Ghost City. Wait, this place feels familiar. It's like my hometown. Unparalleled beauties, twisted perverts, yin-yang twins, and guards forbidden to travel outside: why do they all look at her so adoringly? That gloomy, ghostly, terrifyingly beautiful widower who rules the city seems to be my husband from before I lost my memory. "Changsheng, you abandoned me, and this is the sort of trash you chose instead?" ...Never mind. I lost my memory, so remarrying is perfectly normal, right?! Don't come near me with your forced love and battle-for-their-love drama! Cast: venomous older ex-husband, rich puppy-like young master; a smiling, knife-wielding, androgynous boss, white-haired twin boys, crippled brother-and-sister poison doctors, masked flirt, taciturn assassin guards... Lu is the one pure white jasmine in the hearts of everyone in Ghost City () Player: What's wrong with choosing the only true love among a bunch of lunatics, weirdos, yanderes, and perverts? · Sorry, I Still Like Your Younger Brother Better [Completed] In a fictional setting of rival states vying for supremacy, how can a female ruler not have a marriage pawn? "I fell in love with you at first sight, but I know I can't marry you." "Go. He's my younger brother. He'll love you just as I do." The player's career mode: Conquer the realm? Even a dog wouldn't... No, let's play! This is exactly the kind of conquest I want! What's wrong with starting from the bottom? Building from nothing is more relatable! The people all support the divinely chosen goddess! What's wrong with not having an official post? If I want something, I'll fight for it with my own two hands () No, I mean, earn it! No one on my side? No problem. In this world, no money is beyond my reach, only money temporarily held by the banks. People are the same! As long as I rise high enough, there will naturally be learned scholars to argue my case. The player's job is to never look down on a poor young man, boldly claim the realm, and whenever she runs into a beauty, accept him; whenever she finds money and provisions, accept them; whenever she encounters talent, accept them, accept them, accept them all... Soy-milk-style conquest and romance: chaotic relationships between men and women, sleeping around and melodramatic chaos everywhere, men strong and women even stronger, a scholar dying for someone who understands him, absolute power crushing absolute loyalty, a domineering traditional man who forces love x a ruthless woman even crueler than him x a man who gives in to his hormones and sleeps with her first, then asks questions · In a Matriarchal World, I Married the Sect's Sacred Son [In Progress] From village girl to ascension, I've only done one thing: lived off men, Yuan Lu said solemnly. Contains an unkillable older brother, a sacred son who isn't what his title suggests, and soy-milk-style childbirth in a matriarchal society. [Reader's Notes] 1. Relentlessly pile on the melodrama. Read for fun, write for catharsis. Each world is only tens of thousands of words, so they're not long. The NPCs crawl, struggle, and suffer (happily) through their lives. The heroine has a player's mindset and only cares about the gaming experience, without a trace of genuine feeling. 2. Of course the NPCs are all virgins. 3. This is a melodramatic Mary Sue story. Anyone could fall for the heroine!! Warning, warning: there may be some very (author's) arbitrary (unspoken) one-sided crushes. Theme: Life is a play
