Ariya never meant to take in roommates, but rent doesn't pay itself. Enter Gawin-quiet, brooding, and prone to Oscar-worthy dramatics and Pon, a walking social event with too much energy and his orange cat. Their apartment is a battlefield of stolen snacks, mismatched schedules, and arguments over who left the shower drain clogged again. Somewhere between the late-night talks, emergency takeout runs, and existential crises, they become something terrifying: a family. They fight like hell, but they always show up-whether it's for Pon's latest heartbreak, Gawin's terrible job interviews, or Ariya's "I swear I'm moving out" threats (which never happen). Then, one of them inherits something massive-money and a crumbling empire they have no idea how to run. Overnight, their lives spiral into the absurd: lawyers, secrets, high society drama, and the terrifying reality of not being broke. They should be thrilled. Instead, they're confused, overwhelmed, and still yelling about who left the lights on. Because money changes everything... or does it? And if this isn't a scam, then why does it feel like one?

Title: The Accidental Male Empress Synopsis: Lin Xuan, a top-tier hacker and modern-day troublemaker, wakes up in the body of a beautiful but absolutely useless male empress. The empire knows him as His Majesty's Delicate Flower-fragile, weak, and the biggest headache for the Emperor. However, Lin Xuan is none of those things. Armed with modern-day knowledge, sharp wit, and an unbeatable talent for stirring chaos, he refuses to be a tragic beauty waiting for his downfall. Instead, he turns the imperial palace upside down! Features of this chaotic mess: The Emperor, Feng Yuan, is cold and intimidating, but somehow always ends up in situations where he has to clean up Lin Xuan's disasters.

The eunuchs and maids secretly gossip about how their empress bullies the Emperor (it's true). The entire empire is confused-why is the once fragile empress now out-drinking soldiers, gambling with ministers, and winning street fights? Meanwhile, the Emperor, originally planning to get rid of him, finds himself... oddly entertained. And possibly falling in love with his absurd but unexpectedly brilliant empress. ---
