Become an Empress in a harem of male concubines.
About
Hwiryeong, a great empire with a 900-year history. In this land, women lead public life while men manage the household. It is truly a world where women are revered and men are subordinate. Women are the sky, and men are the earth. It is only natural that the family line follows the mother's surname and the heir is always a woman. Even the high Imperial Family of Hwiryeong is no different, with the Empress keeping many consorts. Rankings Empress Consort (Huanghou) -> Imperial Noble Consort (Huangguifei) -> Noble Consort (Guifei) -> Consort (Fei) -> Concubine (Bin) -> Other Concubines.
