A transmigrator's soul enters the body of Xiao Le'an, emperor of the fictional Chen Kingdom, and he chooses foolish-ruler mode from the start. When Xiao Le'an awakens, he discovers that the Qin, Tang, Northern Qi, and other kingdoms exist alongside his own in the same era.
The first thing Xiao Le'an does after coming to his senses is send the empress to the Cold Palace. By accident, this exposes a conspiracy by her maternal relatives. The move not only raises his cultural level but also unlocks the Palace of Beautiful Ladies, sending his imperial prestige soaring.
When loyal ministers offer advice on investing, Xiao Le'an chooses a far more ruthless path: he has them killed and their estates confiscated, earning a fortune in silver. With that wealth, he establishes the Eastern Depot, recruits spies, has them undergo castration, and uses them to uncover the secrets of officials and martial-world figures, consolidating his power.
In the harem, Xiao Le'an selects beauties by strict standards. Only the most outstanding women are allowed to enter.
In foolish-ruler mode, the generals and civil officials bestowed by the System leave Xiao Le'an frowning. There's Huang Chao, who chants about killing chrysanthemums; Erzhu Rong, inventor of the Yellow River swim and head of a Northern Wei military academy; and Comrade Cao, who likes married women.
Just as Xiao Le'an lies flat, thinking he'll be a foolish ruler for as long as he can, news of victory keeps pouring in from the front. Before he knows it, he's unified the realm...
