I, the Cruelest Official, Am Urged by the Empress to Be Kind

Zhang Yang transmigrates to the State of Ning and becomes a sixth-rank Ministry of Justice secretary. He awakens the Great Cruel Official System, and the more vicious, ruthless, and harsh he is, the stronger he becomes.

Eunuch Miao: "Lord Zhang, spare him! He's the general's own son."

Zhang Yang: "Why didn't you say so earlier? I just chopped him up."

Left Chancellor: "Lord Zhang, why have you summoned me?"

Zhang Yang: "Heh, Chancellor, this jar is quite fun. Get inside first, and then I'll light a fire underneath to keep you warm."

The Empress: "What? You want to tax half the income of the officials and gentry? Are you trying to force them to rebel against me?"

The Empress: "This is the torture chamber you created? And you still think 120 kinds of torture aren't enough?"

Prince: "You audacious criminal! I only touched a little girl, and you want to cut off one of my hands?"

Zhang Yang has gone completely berserk. The Ning Emperor's beautiful eyes shimmer as she gently urges him, "My dear minister, could you be a little kinder? I'm worried you'll shorten your life."

The officials: "Heavens above! The cruel official Zhang Yang is ruining our country. Punish him and have him executed!"
