After the Emperor of the Game Awakened

Joy at Meeting is a wildly popular high-freedom danmei harem game, where players can choose to play either the Emperor Route or the Consort Route.On the Emperor Route, you are the supreme sovereign above all, with three thousand beauties at your disposal. Life and death are in your hands—you can turn over anyone’s tablet for the night, and put anyone to death as you please.On the Consort Route, you start as the lowest-ranking male concubine. Whether you stay out of contention and live quietly in a corner, or cut down all rivals and monopolize imperial favor, it all depends on your choices.In both routes, the number-one villain is the high-ranking NPC Lu Xuechao. On the Emperor Route, if you do not favor him exclusively, he will commit regicide. On the Consort Route, the emperor favors only him in the early game. Therefore, Emperor Route players have him thrown into the cold palace and executed at the start, while Consort Route players scheme in every way to bring him down and kill him.However, one day, the controlled game emperor suddenly develops self-awareness.Consort Route players are astonished to discover that no matter how they scheme to frame him, or how many times they reload their saves, the emperor firmly favors only Lu Xuechao and pays no attention at all to the consort controlled by the player.Emperor Route players break down even more—the game options simply disappear! They can only watch helplessly as the emperor runs to Lu Xuechao again and again, and casually sends all three thousand beauties out of the palace one by one.Gong’s POV synopsis:One day, the gong suddenly realizes that he is the emperor in a danmei harem game and also the game’s protagonist. Whomever he wants to bestow titles upon and whomever he wants to favor is all being manipulated by someone else.
