Name: My Entire Family Fell in Battle, Turning Me into a Poisonous Strategist: The Empress Urges Me to Be Good
Author: The Down-and-Out Fourth Brother

Synopsis

Zhao Yu transmigrates into the Great Qin Prince of Pingxi, who died in a brothel while having sex with a prostitute!

He thought he would get to live the carefree life of a spoiled young master, but instead, everyone in the Prince of Pingxi’s household had been killed in battle.

Now wielding great power, he is coveted by countless people and finds himself in extreme danger.

Ten regional princes want him dead.

The Empress’s intentions are unclear...

With the ten regional princes hemming him in, Zhao Yu lies low and waits for the right moment to rebel.

Later, he discovers that the massacre of the Prince of Pingxi’s household concealed a shocking secret.

So he transforms into a ruthless strategist of a prince, joins forces with the Empress to strike back at the ten regional princes, and eventually leads an army of two hundred thousand straight into the imperial palace.

The princes of Great Qin carve up the realm, while neighboring countries watch hungrily from the sidelines, leaving the empire beset by troubles at home and abroad.

Empress: “The regional princes are carving up the realm and showing me contempt. How should I deal with them?”

Zhao Yu: “I have a brilliant plan to present, Your Majesty: the decree of favor.”

Empress: “The civil and military officials at court are all disloyal beneath their outward loyalty. How can I make my throne secure?”

Zhao Yu: “Easy. Establish the Embroidered Uniform Guard, with imperial authority to execute first and report later. They kill without asking who is right or wrong, and answer only to the emperor.”

Empress: “Xiliang has stationed three hundred thousand troops downstream on the Feiyun River and is preparing to invade in force. How should I deal with that?”

Zhao Yu: “Downstream on the Feiyun River? Quickly, bring my sixty tons of aphrodisiac and dump it all into the river!”

The entire court is horrified: “What on earth is going on inside his head?!”

Empress: “He’s the living King of Hell!”

Any Traditional Stories About a Protagonist Leading a Rebellion to Conquer the World?

My favorite thing about novels where the protagonist becomes emperor is the emperor wielding absolute power: all under heaven belongs to the emperor, and everyone within its borders is his subject. I want a novel set in a traditional feudal dynasty. I really hate stories where the emperor also tries to introduce democracy or constitutional monarchy. Recommendations, please!
