From the start, Shi An finds himself at the morning court. He watches in exasperation as the people below argue at the top of their lungs, not one of them paying any attention to him, their emperor.
He has transmigrated into the emperor of Xingqi, a kingdom that never existed in history, and a puppet ruler whose power has been usurped by the great clans.
He has no people, no authority, and no allies. Nobody in court listens to a word he says. With such a disastrous start, how can Shi An turn the tables against all odds?
Fortunately, just as Shi An is worrying about what to do, the System arrives!
“Ding! Host detected! Binding Host! Binding in progress... Binding successful!”
As he works tirelessly to secure his throne, an urgent dispatch from the border, delivered at top speed, shatters the peace...
Shi An stares at the report once, twice, then a third time in disbelief. No mistake: it really does say “monsters”!
But... but... wasn’t this supposed to be an ordinary alternate-history setting in ancient times? What are those glaring words, “monsters,” doing in the report?
