Becoming Empress of Another World Through the Intelligence System

"Other people transmigrate into Mary Sue plots, but I got a hellish start from the start!"

Overworked office drone Chu Yao opens her eyes and finds herself as Vera Feiyan, a good-for-nothing at magic. Her noble father doesn't care for her, her mother doesn't love her, and she's been exiled to the frontier to live on frozen potatoes.

The good news: She's awakened the Daily Intelligence System. Orc raids? A dragon waking up? Her second sister poisoning her? It spoils everything in advance!

The bad news: Her starter pack is a territory on the verge of collapse and a bandit's butcher knife, while today's intelligence reads: "You will be decapitated in three seconds."

"Cast a spell!" the System prompts coldly.

Chu Yao stares at the bandit chief's battered ring and shouts in Chinese: "Resonate with the stars!"

When a pale blue shield sends the cleaver flying, the entire Northern Bandit Gang is stunned.

# From then on, the fallen heiress changes her tune #

She digs up mithril and builds magical infrastructure, recruits an elf prince as her strategic advisor, and turns an orc hero into a hot pot business partner.

When her second sister tears up the marriage contract and sneers, "A bastard like you is fit only to marry a beggar!"

Chu Yao pulls out a list of eligible marriage partners. "Here, I'll take all three of these handsome men."

Years later, The Unofficial History of the Dawn Empire records:

"On the day the empress ascended the throne, the nobles who had once knelt before her trembled like quails.

Meanwhile, her three imperial consorts fought for three days in front of the temple over who would stand at her side.

The empress munched on snacks and decreed, 'Whoever wins gets to share my bed tonight.'"
