Villain: I Wanted to Be a Court Jester, but Was Forced to Become Emperor

Xiao Bai transmigrates to a high-martial world and, before he can figure out what's going on, is attacked by a beautiful swordswoman.

"What? I'm a lackey of the imperial court, a public enemy of the martial world, and the most notorious villain in the capital?"

Being a public enemy of the martial world would be bad enough, but the next day, the court is in an uproar.

"What? I'm a treacherous official of the Great Liang, a crony of the eunuch faction, and the Grand Commander of the Black Armor Guard?"

Faced with a flood of impeachments from Great Liang's censors, Xiao Bai is dumbfounded.

Fortunately, he is a top-ranking noble, the adopted son of the Inner Chancellor, and the emperor's childhood friend...

Just as he's planning to lie flat and become a fawning courtier, he suddenly hears some shocking news.

"What did you say? Who are Great Liang's neighboring countries?"

Looking at the map and the nations bordering it, including Great Jin, Mongolia, Tubo, and Great Qing, Xiao Bai falls into deep thought.

The beautiful swordswoman: "So I was wrong about him. A true hero serves his country and its people. Lord Xiao really is a great hero!"

The pure and refined noblewoman: "Commander Xiao is loyal to his country. Great Liang is truly fortunate to have him!"

The unruly princess: "Xiao Bai! When exactly are you planning to marry me?!"

Later on...

Xiao Bai: "I only wanted to be a fawning courtier. How did I end up becoming emperor?"
