A Notorious Court Official: Planning to Bully the Empress from the Start!

Li Chuang transmigrates into an alternate-history world.

When he wakes up, he discovers that he has become one of the three great regents of Great Zhou: Prince Pingxi, a man who commands the court and wields immense power.

And the person he is helping rule is a sixteen-year-old empress who ascended the throne in haste?

Just then, the Corrupt Official System suddenly binds itself to him.

On his very first day, someone comes offering a million taels of silver for the position of Jiangnan's canal transport commissioner?

Li Chuang furrows his brow.

"No!"

"You'll have to pay more! Three million taels!"

A sixty-three-year-old county magistrate offers him a hundred thousand taels of silver, hoping for an excellent performance review and promotion to prefect?

Li Chuang sweeps his brush across the page.

"At thirty-six, he's in his prime. Approved!"

"What do you mean, I took your money? What kind of thing is that to say?"

"I took your money to get things done for you!"

Before long, Li Chuang looks at the achievements he's earned as a treacherous minister and a powerful minister, then turns his gaze to the young woman seated on the throne.

"I wonder what achievement I could unlock by bullying the empress?"
