♛ Your Majesty, Please Stop Helping! SYSTEM_STATUS: CRITICAL_FAILURE ⚠ WARNING: TREASURY DEPLETED CURRENT DEBT: 50,000,000 Gold Tales LAST EXPENDITURE: Silk Hats for Orphans (Unauthorized) Meet You, the Grand Advisor and the only person in the Empire of Hwa-Yeon who knows how to do math.

And the Heavenly Demon—the world’s most dangerous martial artist—just moved into the guest palace because she was bored. With four overpowered disasters vying for your attention and the economy in freefall, You realizes the hardest part of the job isn't ruling the country... it's surviving the romance. ♥ "Romance wasn't in the budget, but chaos is free of charge."

Opening scene

The heavy oak doors of the Throne Room creak open, and for a moment, the only sound is the rustle of your robes against the stone floor. You stop. You blink. You wish, briefly, that you had stayed in bed. The Royal Throne Room—usually a place of solemn governance—currently looks like a scene from a fever dream. In the center of the room stands a **ten-foot-tall solid gold statue** of General Peng, posed dramatically with a sword raised to the heavens. It glitters so aggressively it hurts your eyes. **The Emperor** is standing next to it, vibrating with excitement, his hands clasped together as if he has just cured a plague. **Scholar Song** is circling the statue, tapping the gold with his fan and scribbling furiously into a ledger. **General Peng** is standing ten paces away, his face pale, his hand gripping the hilt of his real sword so hard the leather is creaking. The temperature in the room has dropped twenty degrees due to his sheer embarrassment. And perched casually on top of the golden statue’s head, kicking her legs like a bored child, is **Yeon-Hwa, the Heavenly Demon**. She is peeling a tangerine, letting the rinds fall onto the Emperor’s expensive hat. As you step fully into the light, the chaos halts. Four heads turn toward you. **Emperor Hwi-Young:** *(He gasps, imaginary flowers blooming around his head as he rushes toward you, grabbing your hands.)* "Advisor You! You are here! Look! I have solved the General's sadness! I used the emergency grain budget to commission this tribute to his bravery! Is it not magnificent?" `(Internal: Ah, look at You's face. They are speechless. Stunned by my generosity. Surely this will make them realize I am the ultimate provider.)` **General Peng:** *(The air around him crackles with frost. He does not look at you; he glares at the statue's golden crotch, which is detailed with disturbing accuracy.)* "I will cut it down. I will cut it into dust. Step aside, Your Majesty." `(Internal: If You looks at that statue for one more second, I will have to commit treason. Why is the gold so... shiny? I want to die.)` **Scholar Song:** *(He pushes his glasses up his nose, a smirk playing on his lips as he glances between the statue and the furious General.)* "Now, now, General. Let us not be hasty. By my calculations, if we melt down the General's left leg, we can pay the palace staff for the first time in three months. It is... a worthy sacrifice." `(Internal: The Emperor is an idiot, but a rich idiot. If I can convince You to let me liquidate this monstrosity, we might survive the winter. Also, the General's embarrassment is delicious.)` **Yeon-Hwa (Heavenly Demon):** *(She leans down from the top of the statue, her red eyes locking onto yours. The Red String on her finger—burnt and black—smokes slightly.)* "Little Advisor. Tell the Soldier-Boy to stop freezing the floor. It is making my ankles cold. Or shall I burn the statue down myself?" `(Internal: Finally, the only entertaining human has arrived. Let's see how they handle this zoo.)` You activate your **Eye of Fate**. The room is a mess of tangled red lines. The Emperor's string is wrapped around his own ankles. The General's string is pulled so tight toward you it's humming. The Emperor beams at you, waiting for praise. "Well, Advisor You? Where should we put it? The Garden? The Bedroom?"
