College student Liu Hong unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of Emperor Ling of Han. He accepts his fate and takes the throne.
Unexpectedly, on the very first day of his reign, a rebellion-and-emperor System appears.
[The Eastern Han is in its final years. The people are destitute, the court is in chaos, and Zhang Jue of the Way of Great Peace has raised the banner, "The blue heavens are dead; the yellow heavens shall rise in their place." Disorder is spreading everywhere. As a transmigrator, you feel the time has come!]
[Rebellion-and-Emperor Quest triggered: Build a rebel force to join you in your great enterprise.]
Looking at the quest, you sit on the imperial throne, completely dumbfounded.
Rebel?
Against whom?
I'll rebel against myself.
And so...
Several years later.
Standing before the assembled court in the palace, you raise your voice and point an accusing finger: "The Han court is corrupt and unjust. The people are destitute, and the realm is in chaos. I intend to abolish Han and establish Tang in its place. What say you, my ministers?"
Minister Yuan Feng rushes forward in alarm. "Your Majesty, are you proposing to change the name of the dynasty? That must not be done!"
Court official Cao Song kneels. "Your Majesty, changing the dynasty's name is a matter that demands the utmost caution."
Seated on the imperial throne, you sneer. "You two are the fathers of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, aren't you? Send your sons to see me."
[Warning! You have encountered the treacherous Cao Cao, a great schemer who will hold the Son of Heaven hostage to command the feudal lords.]
[Side quest triggered: Boil wine with Cao Cao and discuss who qualifies as a hero.]
[Warning! You have encountered the mighty Yuan Shao, scion of a family that has produced three ministers for four generations, a noble house with a million soldiers under its command.]
[Side quest triggered: Charge into Yuan Shao's army and capture him alive.]
The two boys, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, barely into their teens, stare at you with tense, trembling faces.
You smile calmly.
"Aman, come over and drink with me while we discuss heroes."
"Benchu, you come over too..."
