The Tyrant’s First Female Imperial Advisor and Empress

After her mother goes missing, Xiao Banruo is captured and taken back to the capital, where she meets her father, the greatest fortune-teller in the realm. Three other young women are brought back with her. Her father feels no affection for them, only a desire to control them. “I’ll give the four of you a choice of men. One of them will become the future emperor. Whether you have the fate to be empress is up to you.” Then he starts pitting them against one another like he is raising poisonous insects.

Xiao Banruo: Whoever wants him can have him. I’m getting out of here.
