Name: The Harem's Final Destination Is the Empress Dowager [Crossover]
Author: Zhai Baili

Synopsis

When the old ghost Wen Yao opened her eyes, she discovered that she had gone from being a ghost to being human.

Coming back from the dead was certainly great.

But being inexplicably bound to a lousy System wasn’t, especially since it was a piece of junk that siphoned away people’s luck.

Fortunately, this old ghost had neither life nor luck, so the System couldn’t control her.

However

The junk System had terrible aim and kept tossing her into feudal old societies.

Since that was the case, she would start with a small goal:

She was going to become the Empress Dowager!

[Going premium on Thursday. There’ll be a 10,000-character chapter that day, my dears. Look forward to it~~~~]

This Is the Kind of Satisfying Romance I Like

Keeping track of books I'm currently reading or letting pile up. Not sure if anyone cares about this list, but a heads-up: it includes gender-bender stories, fanfiction, and female-led stories with no romance.
