Warnings: slight yandere and implications of foetus murder
I'm basing this off a C-drama I love; Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
As a woman, a daughter of the Qing Emperor you had few options. It didn't help that you were the daughter of a low ranking concubine and not an Imperial Consort. You most likely would be married off to somewhere far away, to a chieftan or duke or any other noble. However, you knew you could do better than marry a good man. You decided to become Emperor yourself. After the death of your father, your half-brother had been crowned Emperor. Oopsie! If only a mere servant didn't poison him on his wedding night! And one by one, the Imperial sons were either killed or implicated and banished. The Imperial daughters were married to obscure men of the Empire. And officials began disappearing.
Who was doing this? You!
You had all the right people in your pocket. You had disposed of those who were unneeded.
In the span of two years, you had seized control of the Qing Court. Elevating your mother to Queen Dowager and yourself as Emperor. A female Emperor? There hasn't been one since Wu Zetian! You were strongly opposed but within days, those kind if thoughts were quelled. It was a blood bath, whether it was a necessary one, you did not know.
You had everything now.
Power was in your hands!
You married powerful men and secured your position.
And after five long years, you are your beloved King Consort were expecting. You were finally pregnant! You could establish your own dynasty at last.
But you were now in the Devildom. How frustrating!
I imagine the Mc to look like this:
Lucifer
Yeah, he didn't really care at first.
The only royalty he acknowledged was Lord Diavolo.
He didn't quite regard your ambitions with much interest.
But when you showcased your amazing leadership skills, as well as great diplomacy, and managing to quell those annoying noble demons, you got our boy falling fast!
He then started to understand your situation better, and you began to reside in him too
He too lost everything after the Fall
So now the both of got somebody to relate to
At times, you'd discuss certain politics over a glass of demonus
He also shared some tips as to how you could strengthen your hold over others
Has mixed feelings about the bae
On one hand, you want to go back to your husband. Everything you worked hard for shouldn't be in vain
But on the other, when you first came here, you were beyond stressed. Rarely did you let yourself relax
He decided to help you
And while you may not agree, you can have everything you'd want here. He'd make sure of it!
You want power, he'd make sure you'd dominate the Devildom.
And dont worry about the kid. He himself has unofficially adopted six demons under his care, what's another
Best dad/husband material if you ask me. (Better than the Emperor in the actual show)
Mammon
Man just wants to scam you out of your crown and jewellery. But as a powerful woman yourself, you decide to out him in his place
You, a human, put Mammon in his place. Kneeling at your feet, your heel atop his head.
Man would be lying if he said he wasn't whipped!
After that, he's like a puppy, following you around.
He listens to your story and how you had to struggle and conive your way into power.
He respects that. He's just sad, that a person as brilliant as you had to prove your worth tenfold before anybody aknowledged you
He was the first demon to form a pact with you. Thus, he wants to be your everthing. Your forst man as well as the person to take care of you
But that little bundle in your belly complicates things.
Nevermind! He'll just have to the best dad there is. For both your happiness and his.
Treasure, if you think you can go back...you've got another thing coming...
Leviathan
Your an Emperor?
Thats so cool! Totally OP
Was a bit sceptical at first as you didnt know shit about video games, much less technology.
You're alot like Simeon in that sense
He starts teaching you how to play videogames
And lets just say, you might have been rocky before but you're slaying it now
Especially since you have good critical thinking you can make quick counters
You find that you have a liking towards otome games.
They're similar to the fact that they're alot like dealing with people at court. Kiss up to a few people and destroy the ones that aren't needed
He thinks your so cool.
And after hearing you life story as to how much you had to give up in order to get where you are today, he's just in awe.
Promises to be your bestest friend as well as godfather to your bundle of joy
Satan
Doesn't really care, much like Lucifer
At first, that is
Everyone is astounded that you handle his anger so well
Must be because you're used to having to deal with hot heads
Especially those who didn't deem you worthy as Emperor.
Satan is firmly neutral towards you
Until he discovers your shared love of literature
Is is impressed at your prowess of poetry and appreciates it. Finally, somebody to confide in
Then he finds out, because of your constant strive for power, as well as your status as Emperor, you had to time for pets. Especially not a cat
He decides to change that
And suddenly your living quarters are now a pet shop.
Not to say you hated it, you're already having baby fever due to being....um...pregnant, but now you're having kitty fever!
Our man is definitely in love
Which makes him feel uneasy about your pointy belly
Contemplates killing the babe once its born, but holds himself back. He doesn't want all your hard work to be for nothing
Definitely helping you reclaim your throne if anybidy opposes you in the near future
Very angry about you going back to your husband but keeps it in
Cant loose a good friendship over this, now can ge?
Asmodeous
This echantress is set on seducing you.
Only your resolve is strong
He tries his best, only to realise that his charms don't quite work on you.
Nevermind that, your fashion sense is so chic!
He then decides that you need a makeover. Dont misunderstand him, you're beautiful as is, not as beautiful as him, but all that stress isnt good for you honey.
Insists you get nine hours of sleep
All that court shenanigans and running the empire has given you bags inder your eyes. And are those wrinkles! Honey, I'm gonna get you the best spa day of your life!
You become fast friends, surprisingly. Even you are baffled.
The both of you share makeup tips. He even introduces you to modern makeup as well as cosmetics and fashion.
You insist on wearing longer dresses and do your hair up. You sport long, elegant clothes. And while you think its fine wearing your hair loose every now and then you ultimately stick to your roots.
And while he insists that you'd look stunning in anything you wore, he ultimately respects your fashion choice.
He even replicates traditional Qing dynasty qipao. As the Avatar of Lust, he does have connections to all the high end fabric stores.
And in respect to your status as Emperor he insists that you only dress as the best!
He even manages to get someone to make a few sets of liangbatou for you (the type of headdress Qing dynasty women wore)
Is excited as to being an uncle! Definitely going on a baby shopping frenzy
Practically your best friend!
Beelzebub
I personally think he thought your crown was made of candy.
Cant blame this baby boy
He once even thought you were made of white chocolate with how smooth your skin is
Has tried eating you
Your glare, made his mouth go dry
You're much like Lucifer as to how you baby him sometimes.
You're quite tall yourself but still look like dwarf next to him.
A bit confused as to why you ate so little, even offering your food to him every now and then
He thinks its the pregnancy hormones.
Makes sure you're eating well, cuz honey, you're not just eating for yourself but for your kid too.
Definitely sees you as Lilith.
This hunk of a man swears nothing bad will come to you.
Much like Asmo, he wants to be an uncle so bad
"(Yn), you haven't eaten yet? Are you craving something. I'll go to Hell's Kitchen to get it".
Belphegor
Doesn't give a shit
Just sleeps
Only after Beel stats giving you attention does you pay a shit
You look like one of those prissy nobles
Literally doesn't care that you're an Emperor
Does that mean you can sleep all day?
Is horrified that you tell him that you barely get any sleep due to the stress.
A bit worried at first, cuz you look older than you are
Subtly tells you to get some shut eye. He even puts a spell on you in order to get better sleep. Makes sure your bed is comfortable.
He takes a bit longer to finally start caring as he isnt exactly the most proactive.
Same as Beel . Sees you as Lilith
Not too enthusiastic about your being pregnant. It just means a baby's gonna keep him up later on. But still cares. Definitely tries his best.
On the same side as Beel, Asmo and Levi; wants to the kids uncle.
Overall, you've got seven demons on your side. Quite useful incase there was any opposition on your part. Your kid is gonna have the best uncles!
Is it just me because I think it's a shame that we didn't see ruyi wear the (one ear three qian=piercing) custom other than her promotions which it would have looked so good and goes well with her personality specially that she was a Manchu by blood unlike hui who always wore them (I guess it have to do with her insecurity about being han it always trigger her when someone mention it) maybe the drama making team didn't think it goes well with her clothing or didn't suit zhou xun or zhou xun herself didn't want to or maybe she didn't wear it in the novel I don't know I just feel it's wasted
