【Female Lead's pleasure-seeking + high IQ palace intrigue + female lead schemes against the entire harem + crazy villain personality】... more>>

Song Zhao has always been a woman who spares no means to achieve her goals, and at the same time she lives more clearly than anyone else.

From the moment she knew she was chosen by Xiao Jingheng to enter the palace as a concubine,

her goal has been very clear:

"I entered the palace just to become the Empress, why else? To go cook for someone else?"

Therefore, as soon as she entered the palace, relying on her beauty and wisdom, she took steps to win the monarch's heart, and played with the six palaces in her palm.

Anyway, the women in this harem, for the sake of family, for their own favor and honor, there are none who do not compete and snatch,

Since this is the case, what she has to do is take preemptive action,

Make herself a villain, defeat everyone, and successfully ascend to the Phoenix throne.

*

At first, Emperor Xiao Jingheng favored Song Zhao, just because of her unparalleled beauty in the harem.

The favored concubines often become arrogant due to favoritism, but Song Zhao was different.

Not only did she not compete for favor, she always advised Xiao Jingheng to share his rain and dew evenly, and often go to other concubines.

Her attitude towards him in her daily life was also visibly perfunctory.

This inevitably made Xiao Jingheng suspicious, feeling that Song Zhao was not truly sincere towards him.

The innate desire to conquer that emperors possess made him secretly determine to completely possess this woman:

Not just her person, but her heart as well.

The process of conquering Song Zhao was like climbing the highest mountain in the world.

It's just that Xiao Jingheng never thought:

When he climbed Mount Song Zhao, he willingly climbed it for a lifetime.

“I can help you become anything you want. What is it that you desire the most?” he asked with a soft voice while sweeping the hair from her forehead.... more>>

“You really thought that I’d sincerely embrace someone as lowly as you?”

Embarrassed, she avoided his gaze and clenched her hands until they turned white.

“Even your thoughts are silly. You are well aware of my identity…”

“Yes, I know.”

“Then say it. Who am I?”

The hand that was playing with her hair traveled down past her chin and ended up around her throat. Testing the strength of his grip, he slowly started applying more pressure and forced her to look at him. Her breathing became painful as he lifted her up by the neck until her heels raised slightly from the floor.

“I also hold your sister’s fate in the palm of my hand.”

He could see it in her eyes, something inside her had broken.

Her eyes, which once resembled the starry night sky, no longer held any stars.

As he watched the light in her eyes fade away, he relaxed his hands.

She wouldn’t try to escape him anymore. He knew this instinctively.

This feeling, which was similar to being doused in warm water, is definitely what he’s been craving.

It wasn’t anything like lust.

Yes, it was definitely a craving.

After he acknowledged his feelings, he began to desire to possess her entire world.

“If I can’t have you, I’ll ruin you.” <<less

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

I was reincarnated as a supporting villain character.... more>>

A tr*shy princess who was obsessed with the big brother of the cute heroine and eventually poisoned the heroine to destroy her.

I made up my mind and prepared to run away. After saving the heroine, things went wrong.

“Those who touch her, chase them to the end of the world and destroy them.”

“Imperial family? The incompetent imperial family that makes Titania unhappy. They don’t matter anyway.”

“Hahahaha, they call me a mad dog. If a mad dog ​​bites people, is it crazy?”

Gee, calm down everyone.

Because I’m leaving to enjoy my dreams, hopes, and money in a seaside villa with beautiful waves! Everyone should be happy too!

I thought so…

“…I thought you were really dead. I…”

His golden eyes that contained me were engulfed in emotions I couldn’t read. I felt like I was going to drown just by looking at it.

“…It felt like an endless nightmare, Tia.”

Please don’t disappear in front of me like that anymore, while whispering earnestly. I was at a loss for words to say to him, who grabbed my hand as if tying me to go nowhere.

And…

“It’s okay to hate my brother! But, don’t hate the duke’s money!”

…The cute heroine who gives me the key to the underground safe containing all the treasures…

“Is everything bothering you? Then choose me instead. Don’t let it bother yourself, Duchess. I’ll be by your side anytime, anywhere.”

Can Jia clear all the endings and complete the guidebook?

[Excerpt from the Main Story]

“Yes, this game has no happy endings.”

As if he could read Jia’s mind, Tae-eul quickly explained.

“If you’re lucky, you’ll get a Merry Bad Ending or just a Bad Ending.”

“Then what is the goal of the player…?”

“The Merry Bad Ending.”

The sound of a bell ringing echoed in the meeting room.

Merry Bad Ending? Isn’t it a miserable ending where only the game characters are happy while the player suffers mentally?

“Wait, what exactly is a Merry Bad Ending…?”

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking. It’s an ending where the game characters become obsessed with the player, imprison and monitor them, with no dreams, hopes, or future. So, it’s an unhappy ending for ordinary players. But of course, for the targeted players, it will be an extremely happy ending.”

Jia couldn’t say a word. It felt like someone had given her the game she had always dreamed of. <<less

Xiao Chuchu transmigrated with a palace scheming system and foreknowledge about the future into the early-passing cannon fodder princess in the book.

Her Father Emperor would be poisoned to death, her Mother Consort forced to die in burial with Father Emperor, her elder brother and entire maternal family – loyal officials – would meet cruel fates!

The Xiao Dynasty would soon be destroyed under the new Emperor’s hand.

[Mother Consort ah, you did not fight or snatch, yet still incurred the jealousy of the Imperial Noble Consort, who issued an order for you to be buried alive with Father Emperor!]

[Elder brother ah, accomplished in both civil and military affairs, yet still viewed with suspicion by the new Emperor after Father Emperor’s death, plotted against and killed at the border pass.]

[Maternal grandfather ah, clean and honest your whole life yet still falsely charged by the new Emperor with six major crimes, your whole family exiled and killed!]

[Father Emperor ah, you were poison-swapped and killed while concocting elixirs and seeking the Dao by the Imperial Consort. After your death, the new Emperor abolished old laws, killed hundreds of loyal officials, imprisoned top generals, borders lost, people struggling to survive! Our ancestors’ legacy destroyed in less than two years!]

As Xiao Chuchu suckled milk, her Father Emperor, Mother Consort, elder brother, and maternal grandfather were all dumbstruck.

Xiao Chuchu lamented that she was but a baby, able to do nothing.

But very quickly she noticed something amiss –

Her Mother Consort, rising higher and higher in rank, Noble Lady, Concubine, Consort, Noble Consort…much favored among the six palaces.

Her elder brother, originally unrelated to the throne, was established as Crown Prince.

Her maternal grandfather’s family, quite valued and relied upon…

Her Emperor Father still hadn’t died!

On the contrary, the treacherous Empress, Consorts, and new Emperor met their ends prematurely…?

How could things turn out this way?

Xiao Chuchu didn’t understand.

Soon her Father unified six nations ahead of time, opened maritime prohibitions, started mutual markets, took the Silk Road…the Xiao Dynasty rose to great power! <<less
