I Use Cunning Strategy to Rule the Realm

After transmigrating into the useless crown prince of a kingdom on the brink of ruin, Xiao Jichen discovers that every official at court is waiting for him to die.

Three hundred thousand Northern Mang cavalry are at the gates? He turns around and offers up his "plague-stricken horses" scheme, leaving the whole nation aghast. "Your Highness, this plan defies the will of Heaven!"

An enemy marshal offers him a fortune to switch sides? He cheerfully sends over a guide to "getting enemy generals to call each other Daddy." The emperor clutches his sleeve, nearly in tears. "My dear subject, calm down! This scheme is too vile to use, too useful to kill you for, and too terrifying to let you go!"

While everyone condemns his ruthless methods, Xiao Jichen uses advanced technology to produce salt and enrich the nation, crushes powerful enemies with modern weapons, and sweeps through the court and the martial world with one "open scheme" after another.

From a crown prince of a doomed kingdom to ruler of the world, from an ordinary dynasty to an immortal dynasty of humanity. As his former enemies all cry, "Long live the sage emperor!" Xiao Jichen quietly unlocks the technology tree and points his cannons at the immortals in the sky.

"Don't talk to me about morality. My morality is making sure my people never have to kneel again."
