Younger man + frail male lead + unlucky older cousin pair + light palace intrigue + easygoing

Ye Su never expected that because of her tough fate and the fact that she had already brought death to two fiancés, she still wasn't married at twenty-two. After her parents entered the palace to cry to her maternal aunt, the Empress Dowager, it was unexpectedly decided that she would become the consort of her sickly emperor cousin.

The reason was that a revered monk had said Ye Su and the emperor had one strong and one weak fate, and that they would balance each other perfectly.

But neither of them liked the other. Since they were children, Ye Su had relied on Jiang Zhaoyi's frailty to bully him mercilessly. He studied while she slapped his desk; he drank tea while she patted his shoulder; he walked while she stuck out her leg...

When her protests failed, Ye Su shouted, "If I have to be one, then I'll be a consort. As for noble consorts, concubines, and beauties, get lost!"

Jiang Zhaoyi: "...Dream on. Even making her a ranked consort would be flattering that dog-anger personality of hers."

In the end, however, he still pinched his nose and gave Ye Su the rank of noble consort for his mother's sake.

But he was only doing it to preserve his family's dignity. Once she entered the palace, he would absolutely never favor her!

Yet Ye Su wasn't here for the emperor's favor either. She was here to live a good life, and anyone who tried to stand in the way of her comfortable days would not be blamed if she showed her feminine might in the harem!

🍀 A novice player of adult romance novels, a heroine who forces herself on others, x a sickly male lead who can only lie there in helpless fury and take it

1. Warning: no transmigration, though transmigrated strategy girls may appear; younger-man older-woman romance

2. At the start the male lead already has an empress and concubines; not a pure relationship. The focus is more on family affection, but after the female lead enters the palace, her outrageous behavior forces exclusive favor.

3. Pregnancy (thanks to the author's lucky attribute; no need to discuss scientific genetics)
