Harem-Building Game: All-in-One Mod Edition

[Main story complete; bonus chapters updating now] Mu Yun found herself inside an old-fashioned single-player cultivation game she used to play. It was also the kind of game she had loaded with tons of mods, so every time she ran it she spent the whole day checking for code conflicts and hunting down bugs. The main storyline followed the legitimate daughter of a minor official as she entered the palace selection. The month before the selection was for building up her stats. Meet the game’s hidden requirements, and she would enter the harem; fail the selection, and it was game over. After succeeding, she would have to raise the emperor’s favorability step by step, build up her stats, and choose different options to unlock a path to promotion. That was how it was supposed to work. But Mu Yun was a casual player who loved downloading all sorts of mods (cheats). She simply changed the code in the backend, so from the start she had 99,999 taels of gold, nearly maxed-out beauty, and a huge bundle of stat points. That was nothing to her. She hadn’t paid much attention to the actual storyline. She was focused on finding all kinds of expansion mods, like ones that increased the odds of drawing top-tier golden characters, so she could prepare for the hidden court-politics route. The stronger her faction in the imperial court, the easier it would be to rise through the harem… More importantly, the civil officials and military generals she drew could be used not only to build her faction at court, but also to delight the player. There were all kinds of different storylines waiting to be explored. Just as Mu Yun was thrilled and full of ambition, ready to reach the peak of her life, she discovered that the bugs caused by conflicting mods seemed to have followed her into the game. Who knew that when she was confiding in an SSR character and plotting her grand plans, a mod would automatically make him serve her! [A universal heartthrob] [Mostly lighthearted daily life, no angst] [Blurb screenshot dated 2025.3.30] The originally planned pregnancy and child-rearing plot has been moved to the bonus chapters. Please note: Later on, all the love interests are in. Everyone with a romance route is physically and emotionally faithful. Mostly daily life, with lots of affectionate scenes and romance. No plot about becoming emperor or starting a rebellion. Coming soon: A Western Fantasy Raising Game, But Make It a Universal Heartthrob Su Luo found herself inside the Western fantasy raising game she played before bed. Here, the player takes the role of Cynthia, a top student from a remote region who has been accepted into the Imperial Capital’s St. Theus Academy of Magic. Over the course of four years, the player must manage her classes and part-time jobs. She might graduate as an outstanding mage, or she might miss too many classes because of work and get expelled, ending the game early. Naturally, the academy also has romance options from different races: a serious, cool-headed elven archmage, a proud and unruly beastman exchange student, a lazy, aloof dragon, a perfect and haughty duke’s son, a gentle and capable prince… But Su Luo didn’t become Cynthia, the protagonist. For some inexplicable reason, she became a distant relative staying at the duke’s estate. Looking at the former romance options, now her older brothers, and the younger brother who couldn’t stand her… Su Luo finally dug the details out of her memory. She seemed to have become one of those background characters in the duke’s family. Her only purpose was to send letters to the protagonist, Cynthia… Fortunately, for some reason, a bug had left half the game System with her. Su Luo could still earn stat points by arranging classes and working part-time, and she no longer had to worry about being unable to read the language of another world. The bad news was that the favorability system had come with it, too. Talking raised favorability, and giving gifts raised it even more. After living at the duke’s estate for a year, Su Luo watched her older brother’s favorability keep climbing and finally decided to run away. But just before she could escape, the romance options, who had previously acted more or less normally, all appeared and proposed to her at the same time. Su Luo, who just wanted to graduate as soon as possible, reach the ending, and see if she could get home: … Why don’t you all decide among yourselves who gets to be with me? The original romance ending only had one love interest! Theme: Stay positive every day
