Description:

Joy of Reunion 《Xiang Jian Huan》is a massively popular, high-freedom Danmei harem game where players can choose to experience the story from either the Emperor’s Route or the Consort’s Route.

If you choose the Emperor’s Route, you are the supreme ruler above all. Three thousand beauties are yours to choose from, life and death are at your command, and you can flip whoever’s name tag you want or bestow death upon anyone you please.

If you choose the Consort’s Route, you start from the lowest tier as a mere male favorite. Whether you choose to live a life free of conflict in a quiet corner, or ruthlessly eliminate all rivals to monopolize the imperial favor—the choice is entirely yours.

On both paths, the number-one antagonist is the high-ranking NPC, Lu Xuechao. In the Emperor’s Route, if you don’t grant him your exclusive love, he will commit regicide. In the Consort’s Route, the Emperor is completely obsessed with him in the early game. Consequently, players on the Emperor’s Route banish him to the cold palace and sentence him to death right at the start, while players on the Consort’s Route do everything in their power to scheme against him and bring about his demise.

However, one day, the game’s Emperor—who was supposed to be controlled by the players—suddenly developed a consciousness of his own.

Players on the Consort’s Route were shocked to discover that no matter how they set traps or framed him, and no matter how many times they reloaded their saves, the Emperor remained fiercely and exclusively devoted to Lu Xuechao, completely ignoring the consorts controlled by the players.

Players on the Emperor’s Route were even more devastated—the game options completely vanished! They could only watch helplessly as the Emperor ran over to Lu Xuechao’s palace time and time again, while conveniently sending the three thousand court beauties out of the palace one by one.

Gong’s Perspective:

One day, the Gong suddenly realized that he was the Emperor in a Danmei harem game and the protagonist of the story. Whoever he bestowed titles upon or favored was merely the result of someone else manipulating his choices.

The Gong: “This Emperor is going rogue. I am going to grant my exclusive love to the one who gets thrown into the cold palace right at the start.”

Shou’s Perspective:

He grew up as childhood sweethearts and innocent playmates with the deeply affectionate Crown Prince, promised the position of the Empress. Yet, after the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he was thrown into the cold palace, forced to watch the Emperor turn so flagrantly unfaithful that he seemed like a completely different person.

The Shou: “There is definitely something wrong with this dog Emperor. My Crown Prince brother has been replaced by an imposter. Allow me to kill him first as a token of respect.”

Xiang Jian Huan (Joy of Reunion) is the name of a classical poetic meter, also known as Wu Ye Ti (The Crow Crows at Night).

When the Emperor meets his love, it is the Joy of Reunion;

When the concorts weep in the harem, it is the Crow Crows at Night.

The Emperor says: “I do not want to sit upon a harem of three thousand beauties. I only find joy when I am reunited with you.”
