Great Qin: I Only Wanted to Ruin the Country, Yet Became an Emperor for the Ages

After learning that bringing down the Qin Dynasty would make him immortal, Ying Lan, who governs the empire in the emperor’s stead, begins recklessly ruining the country.

“The enemy is strong? Then we’d better send Hu Hai to lead the troops!”

“The treasury is overflowing? Then let’s spend four hundred thousand taels on cotton!”

“Zhao Gao is lining his pockets? Nonsense! Zhao Gao is utterly loyal! We should make him chancellor!”

“Your Highness is wise! Hu Hai has returned victorious!”

????

“Your Highness is wise! A sudden blizzard has hit the border, and cotton prices have quintupled. The treasury is about to burst!”

????

“Your Highness is wise! Chancellor Zhao has successfully ended the famine in Lingnan. We could never match his talent!”

Years later, under Ying Lan’s rule, the Qin Dynasty enjoys peace and prosperity and becomes a regional hegemon. Ying Lan, hailed as an emperor for the ages, is on the verge of tears.

“Please stop putting on an act for me! I just want to be an idle immortal!”
