From Wikipedia:

The story, which takes place in the fictional medieval empire of Saiunkoku, follows the adventures of Shūrei Kō, a descendant of a noble family that has fallen on hard times.

Her father works as a librarian in the Imperial palace, a post which offers prestige and respect, but little compensation. Shūrei teaches in the temple school and works odd jobs to make ends meet, but her dream is to pass the imperial examinations and take a post in government, a path forbidden to women.

Shūrei's plans come to an abrupt halt when the Emperor's Grand Advisor makes a startling offer, which is joining the imperial household for six months as the young Emperor's consort, and teach the Emperor to be a responsible ruler. If she succeeds, the financial reward will be great.

The story details Shūrei's growing relationships with the Emperor and other members of the court, the intrigues that surround imperial politics, and her commitment to better herself and her country.

    Reached CH 39. So far it's quite entertaining. Besides the unexplained and illogical leaps in lvl. (the MC is lvl 13 when everyone is at the most lvl 10). Meaning the MC is ahead then all of a sudden a ton of other players is at similar lvl then he is ahead, then they are close again. Besides things like that it's quite entertaining. The best part so far is his enteractions with other players who are completely nuts and give nice flavour to the story. I think our MC is equally nuts, but we see the world from his perspective, so we don't see the craziness as clearly, quite clever that actually. Anyway this story is so far a lot less serious then the usual trope of a MC that comes back from the future to dominate and right wrongs etc. He is just a guy who is a noob gamer with martial arts skills who find a way to make money for his family. While doing that he meets a bunch of crazy, but good people who are of equal mindset and they go on adventures. It's very fun to read and very entertaining.

    I’m really sad for Alexander. I feel bad he found her first and saved her, just to choose his brother and then in the end dump Alpha Max. So bummed
