Emperor Growth Plan 2 Adds Cuckolding Storyline: Your Top 10 Concubines Get NTR'd After You Die — And It's Not the First Time

Imagine you're the emperor. You've got a harem, a kingdom, the whole nine yards. Sounds like peak power fantasy, right? Not in Emperor Growth Plan 2 (皇帝成长计划2). After a recent April 10th update, when your emperor kicks the bucket, his top 10 favorite concubines now get a 'green glow' (绿色光辉) ending — Chinese internet slang for getting cucked. Players lost their minds: is this an emperor sim or a cuckold simulator?

The update added post-death storylines for the 10 most-favored concubines. Players expected touching farewell arcs. What they got was NTR subtext slathered across every screen. One commenter simply asked: 'Wait, there's a cuckolding gacha game? Is it at least spicy?'

But if you think this is a one-off, think again. The original poster dug up a pattern of dev kinks that goes way back. Your court ministers hook up with your concubines — described as 'staying out all night, fateful encounter, deep conversation, couldn't get enough.' Official court business, sure.

Even worse: your own sons send 'greetings from an old lover' to your concubines. The emperor's own children are running a side romance with the harem. Peak dynasty management.

And it gets raunchier. Your sons are caught in the imperial garden with your consorts — 'disheveled clothing, hands everywhere.' Multiple screenshots show these NTR storylines in vivid detail, prompting one player to quip: 'Are we playing a game or speedrunning the Nine Clan extermination?'

A veteran player (Floor 9) revealed this isn't the dev studio Bimu Yu's (比目鱼) first rodeo. Their other game, Hero Growth Plan (豪杰养成计划), featured female love interests cheating on you right after you romance them. The verdict? 'This studio has always been this clueless.' Another player (Floor 16) noted they've been playing since the game was a basic mobile novel on Chengguang (橙光) years ago — the cuckolding content was always there. Their coping mechanism? 'Lock them all in the dungeon and torture them.'

The comment section went nuclear. Floor 3 nailed it: 'Lately every game's writers are going insane. Do y'all have a group chat or something?' Floor 8 doubled down: 'Writers blowing up one after another after another — is there some kind of hand-holding writer support group?' Most intriguing was Floor 15's response: they claim to have known a game writer a decade ago who told them about exclusive 'post-80s writer groups that banned post-90s kids,' suggesting the Chinese game writing scene has always been a tight-knit, insular circle.

Floor 4 delivered the most succinct roast: 'You're literally the emperor and you STILL get cucked? If you want to write NTR fiction, go make a dedicated NTR game. Stop ruining the experience for players.' Floor 14 went full StarCraft: 'These writers need a medical checkup — I suspect the Sacred Khala is linking their minds,' implying the copywriters are operating as a hive mind of terrible ideas.

Plot twist: the game's April 25th event is literally called 'Green Field Awareness' (绿野识趣) — seemingly the devs trolling their own players. Floor 7 reported the storylines may have been quietly patched, but the comment section remained a warzone. Floor 6 questioned whether the 'old writer got fired' was just a PR stunt: 'Both the green glow and the historical figure defamation issues are still unchanged.'

From Emperor Growth Plan to Hero Growth Plan, from ministers hooking up with your consorts to sons groping your concubines in the garden, this studio has built an entire portfolio of NTR storylines. Player rage isn't about one update — it's about a persistent pattern of devs injecting their personal kinks into gameplay. As Floor 18 so eloquently put it: 'Is this whole industry some kind of cuckolding enthusiast exchange platform?' Maybe it's time for a collective wellness check on game writers everywhere.
