The "Emperor Reality Show" that travels through time and space

As soon as Lin Chen stepped into the pool, the icy touch sent a shudder through her body. The water was bottomless, and it felt as if every drop carried some mysterious power, pouring into her body, leaving her with an inescapable sense of oppression. She was about to take a deep breath when she suddenly noticed a strange shift in the scene around her.

The water gradually lost its clear blue color and began to transform into a multicolored glow, as if entering a virtual reality world. Strange symbols and even swirling patterns emerged from the water. Her steps gradually became ethereal, as if her body were being drawn to the bottom of the pool by some mysterious force.

"What the hell is this place?!" Lin Chen could hardly believe his eyes.

She looked down and discovered she was no longer standing in the pool, but on a strange, massive staircase. Each step seemed composed of iridescent glass, shimmering brilliantly. The surroundings had become eerie. In the distance, a towering palace loomed, its form reminiscent of an alien structure from some Earthly science fiction film. The bizarre scene left her completely lost in her grasp.

Just when she was at a loss, suddenly, a transparent screen appeared in front of her eyes, and an extremely familiar name flashed on the screen - "Lin Chen, welcome to the 'Emperor Reality Show'!"

"What? 'Emperor Reality Show'?!" Lin Chen's eyes widened, her head nearly exploding. She had never imagined she'd actually traveled into a virtual world resembling a reality show. But why was she even on this show? She had never signed up for it, and she didn't even know the rules of this world!

"Congratulations to Concubine Lin Chen for successfully entering the 'Emperor's Reality Show'! Here, you'll join the other imperial concubines in a series of insane challenges and tests. By passing these challenges, you'll have a chance to earn the Emperor's favor, and perhaps even become his sole favorite concubine! But be warned: losers will be eliminated forever, and may even be 'transferred to the next dimension'! Every challenge you take will determine your fate!"

"Transfer to the next time and space?" Lin Chen couldn't understand it at all. These words were like a bolt from the blue. She had traveled into a virtual world where there was no such thing as "palace fighting" or "harem" at all. Instead, it was an absurd reality show where all the concubines became participants.

Before she finished speaking, the screen suddenly shifted, and Lin Chen's body trembled violently as her vision was quickly drawn to a mysterious desert. Surrounding her were golden dunes, and the sky was shrouded in a strange purple mist. A massive desert gate suddenly appeared before her, inlaid with countless glowing gems. Behind the gate, it seemed as if some invisible force was waiting for her.

"Challenge: Pass through the desert gate and obtain the hidden treasure. Please note that in the desert, you will face attacks from the 'Guardian of the Sand'. You only have three chances, and failure will result in elimination!"

"Guardian of the Sand?" Lin Chen was stunned. This "Emperor Reality Show" was getting more and more outrageous. She had simply wanted to retrieve some "treasure" from the pool, but ended up being thrown into a desert filled with strange rules.

She took a deep breath, decided not to hesitate, and headed straight for the desert gate. As she took her first step, a sudden gust of wind blew up, and the entire desert suddenly became indifferent and cold. A series of gigantic figures began to appear before her eyes. They seemed to be "Guardians of the Sand" composed of dust. Each of these sandmen was at least three meters tall, their faces blurred, but they all wielded strange weapons—golden sand sickles, silver sand swords, and radiant sand shields.

"How can I deal with these monsters?" Lin Chen's heartbeat quickened as she unhesitatingly pulled out a golden treasure box that had suddenly appeared beside her. The surface of the treasure box shone with a mysterious magic that seemed to attract her.

"Use this!" Another line of text appeared on the screen: "Challengers can use any randomly appearing props."

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen opened the treasure box, and out jumped a living dragon! However, this dragon was not the lifelike creature she had imagined, but a small and exquisite plastic toy dragon with a colorful glow all over its body.

"What the hell is this?!" Lin Chen could hardly stand this absurd reality. The little plastic dragon in her hand looked so unreal. Moreover, it did not help her fight against these "Guardians of the Sand" at all.

However, just when she was about to give up, a miracle happened - the plastic dragon actually began to emit a faint light, and then the entire desert began to shake. The guardians of the sand seemed to have received some kind of instructions. They stopped attacking and turned to walk away.

"Do you think this challenge is too easy?" The Emperor's voice suddenly descended from the sky, tinged with a hint of teasing. "Indeed, this is the test you must face after traveling through time and space—'Wisdom and Chance'!"

"Opportunity?" Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and she felt her brain begin to heat up. She simply couldn't comprehend what was happening. She had clearly just wanted to return to her normal life of palace fighting, but she had been dragged into this absurd and crazy reality show, and had to deal with these strange rules and challenges.

"Indeed, the challenge has only just begun, Imperial Concubine Lin Chen. You will find that the true 'competition' has only just begun." The Emperor's voice grew grim, and the desert scene vanished, replaced by an even larger city. Every building shimmered with a bewildering light, unknown spaceships floated in the sky, and a strange star map adorned the palace rooftop. And around every corner lay countless dangers.

"Welcome to the next level of 'Emperor Reality Show' - the Space-Time City!"

"What the hell is this place?!" Lin Chen almost exploded.
