The harem arc reaches its climax. Your earlier choice at Scene 19 — Power, Li Zhi's Heart, or I Want Everything — determines which version of this chapter you experience. Liu Xi's betrayal demands justice, but the method you choose will echo through every chapter that follows.
Li Zhi Affinity +99 — You skip to Scene 39 with maximum leverage
Scene 36 — A gentler path through the chapter
Scene 37 — The most complex path, demanding the most from you
Resolve +, Affinity +99 — You commit fully
Ambition +, Affinity +99 — You leave yourself room to maneuver
Prestige + — You build a network of loyalty; main path
BE 026 — Strategy +, Empress Wang Trust +5, but this backfires catastrophically
You save them — Scene 41
BE 027 — Hesitation kills
BE 028 — Weaponizing the conflict destroys you
BE 029 — Resolve +, but wrong accusations lead to ruin
Resilience + — Main path; let the system work for you
BE 030 — Opening too many fronts overwhelms you
Main path — Focus wins over breadth
BE 031 — Prestige +, but the supernatural ploy unravels
Resolve + — Main path; brutal but effective
Resolve +, Prestige + — Chapter complete; you eliminate the threat
Strategy +, Prestige + — Chapter complete; mercy as strategy
'Power' gives the fastest route through the chapter with Li Zhi Affinity +99, but 'I Want Everything' offers the richest story experience. All three paths converge at Scene 39.
Both lead to chapter completion. Sparing her (Strategy +) is recommended for the main path, as it may open options in later chapters. Killing her (Resolve +) closes her storyline permanently.
