Great Ming: I Really Don't Want to Be a Tyrant!

Zhu Youjian transmigrates to the final years of the Ming Dynasty and becomes the Chongzhen Emperor.

At the time, the empire is beset by internal and external threats. The Donglin Party controls the court, while the Jurchen invaders and rebels across the land lie in wait beyond its borders.

Corrupt officials dominate the government and form factions for their own gain. The military and administration are rotten, and the poor live in misery.

Zhu Youjian awakens the Supreme Tyrant System.

"The palace eunuchs embezzled the imperial estates' harvest. Execute their entire clans."

"Grand Secretary Han Huang murdered the late emperor and accepted bribes. Flay him and stuff his skin with grass. Exterminate his entire clan."

"Duke of Chengguo Zhu Chunchen murdered the late emperor. Flay him and stuff his skin with grass. Exterminate his entire clan."

"The Eight Great Locust Merchants colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Execute them by slicing, and exterminate their clans to the tenth degree."

Slay corrupt officials, crush the Donglin Party, pacify the nine frontiers, destroy the Jurchen slaves, wipe out the Japanese pirates, and bring the four seas to heel!

Zhu Youjian uses killing to end killing, unleashing a storm of bloodshed and beginning his journey to dominate the world as a tyrant!

Years later, historians will say that the Ming Dynasty under the Chongzhen Emperor was the pride of China!
