I Am a Tyrant in the Great Song

His soul enters the body of Zhao Huan, the last emperor of the Northern Song. The Jingkang Incident is only a year away. He doesn’t want to become a ruler of a fallen nation, but not one of the officials at court has the courage to fight.

They say the Song has no real men, the royal house has no backbone, and the weak Song failed to defend itself, leaving the Central Plains to fall into enemy hands.

Very well, then. I’ll give the Song that backbone.

Spare me this talk of sharing the realm with the scholar-officials. Today, I, Zhao Huan, will turn the whole table over.

I will surpass the Three Sovereigns in achievement and the Five Emperors in virtue. In this chaotic age, I will forge a magnificent Great Song, a celestial empire above all nations.

I will be the Song’s first tyrant. I will wipe out entire clans and households, crush the barbarians, and bring the realm to heel. Anyone who refuses to submit will die!
