I’m a Tyrant in a Romance Novel, and the Idiots Never Stop Coming

Nangong Yao is reborn in a world geared toward female readers, only to discover that it is full of ridiculous idiots.

Hopeless romantics, shameless simps, manipulative mean girls, self-righteous do-gooders, sons who leech off their sisters, and entitled princesses.

They bring ruin to the nation and misery to its people. Every last one of them deserves to die.

Nangong Yao endured it for nineteen years, finally outliving his father and ascending the throne!

His lovesick princess of a sister jumps out to cause trouble: "Big Brother, give me three cities on the northern frontier as my dowry. I want to marry the enemy kingdom's hostage prince!"

A crowd of brainless officials chimes in: "Your Majesty, ceding land to secure peace through marriage is truly a deed that will benefit us for generations!"

Nangong Yao rises with a cold laugh. "I'd say you're all cowards who'd sell out the country to save your own skins!"

At the Meridian Gate, the executioner's blade falls. Senior ministers' heads roll, their entire clans are implicated, and the lovesick princess is put to death with a white silk sash.

A simp of a general is willing to surrender a city for an enemy princess?

Nangong Yao: "Tear him apart by the thousand cuts, and exterminate his entire clan!"

A self-righteous scholar pities the enemy troops whose heads were piled into a monument and demands that the emperor issue an edict admitting his guilt?

Nangong Yao: "Add that scholar's entire clan to the list, too."

He kills until the officials tremble and the whole realm is shaken.

The more idiots he kills, the stronger the nation becomes.

But after killing millions of idiots, why are there still so many?

They just never run out!
