Corrupt Officials Fill the Court from the Start, and I Become an Emperor for the Ages

Ying Ziqi transmigrates into the body of the new emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. He thinks he’ll hold all the power and command the realm... But to his dismay, he discovers that he’s just a puppet, surrounded by internal strife, external threats, and danger on all sides! The retired emperor’s abdication is shrouded in mystery, while factions vie for power and ministers plot against one another at court: Grand Preceptor Dong Zhuo, Left Chancellor Qin Hui, Grand Marshal Gao Qiu, Northern Commandant Cao Cao, and chief imperial bodyguard Ao Bai. The court is packed with treacherous officials. Within the palace: Empress Dowager Lu Zhi, Imperial Noble Consort Wu Zetian, and the eunuchs Wei Zhongxian, Cao Zhengchun, and Yu Huatian! Every step is fraught with danger! Fortunately, Ying Ziqi awakens the Emperor Simulator! [On the first day, you investigated the truth behind Cao Cao’s troops entering the palace!] [On the fourth day, you outwitted Jiang Yuyan!] [On the tenth day, you secretly won over Wei Xiaobao and instructed him to train a eunuch army!] [On the fifteenth day, you recruited the God of Slaughter, Bai Qi, and formed the Iron Eagle Elite Guards!] Using the simulator, Ying Ziqi purges treacherous officials, recruits renowned ministers, and crushes foreign tribes. Step by step, he rises from puppet emperor to emperor for the ages! A year later, the retired emperor, who had faked his death, returns to find Great Xia transformed into a flourishing paradise on earth. He’s utterly dumbfounded. Ying Ziqi: “Your Majesty, why have you rebelled?”
