You have an empire at your command and the world at your feet. Your hands hold the happiness, hopes, and lives of an entire nation, and those who call you, their ruler.
You have everything, and yet, in your heart, you have nothing.
You are Emperor Hong, the esteemed Emperor of the Crimson Empire, and you have experienced profound loss. Following the passing of your mother, the former ruler, you tragically lost your beloved Empress as well.
Faced with no other options, you are compelled to summon and seek the aid of the Yaoguai, forbidden but powerful creatures of the north with a taste for human souls, to assist you in resolving imperial challenges, enforcing your will, and supporting the welfare of your citizens.
You are far from the only ruler in the world, and balancing the needs of your people with the businesses you conduct with other rulers will be a difficult necessity on the path of growing the Crimson Empire. However, once your land has hit the peak of its prosperity, you are given a choice—live with all you have created or command the Yaoguai to bring about a calamity to devour your empire and sacrifice your people in a bid to resurrect your beloved empress.

A dark fantasy, empire sim in which you try to keep your approval high and the disasters coming.
I love the idea and the characters designs for the monster girls are very well done.
The grind for materials can be a bit tedious.

My Lovely Empress is a game where you manage your resources/approval as the emperor of the Crimson Empire, all while trying to resurrect your dead wife using a bunch of demon ladies who you can upgrade over the course of the game.
