The Emperor Got a Cheat

Zhao Zhen originally thought that transmigrating into an emperor's body meant he'd already hit the jackpot in life. But only when the System awakened did he realize this was just the beginning.

A sage ruler would rise from this day onward!

Starting by resolving threats from abroad

Pacify Western Xia, destroy Liao and Jin, conquer the island nation of Goryeo, and embark on a great colonization campaign. Launch expeditions against the Byzantine Empire, the Arab dynasties, and the Ottoman Empire, until the whole world basks in the glory of Great Song.

Domestic reforms

Hold the imperial examinations, select talented people, promote capable officials without regard to convention, and vigorously develop politics, the economy, culture, and science and technology... Build an advanced civilization two thousand years ahead of the West.

Many years later, the chieftain of the last conquered tribe of Native Americans declared fervently in broken Chinese: "I gave everything I had and finally got a green card from the greatest, most powerful, sun-never-sets, ruler-of-the-Earth, holy Great Song Empire! I'm happy, I'm proud, I'm so proud!"
