I Only Want to Die, So How Did I Become an Emperor for the Ages?

Office drone Qin Feng inherits a fortune worth tens of billions and is still dreaming of luxury cars and beautiful women one second, only to transmigrate into the puppet emperor of the Da Yong Dynasty the next. From the start, it’s hell! Outside, four powerful ministers rule with an iron fist and treat him like a plaything. Inside, four stunning empresses keep him under close watch, with every smile hiding a murderous intent. Want to live? You’ll live worse than a dog! Want to die? Then the System activates!

“Ding! The ‘Merit Fulfilled System’ is now bound to you. Complete your role as emperor to return to the modern world!”

“Complete my role? Doesn’t that mean I have to die?”

Qin Feng suddenly understands and embarks on a reckless path of courting death.

The Empress Dowager rules from behind the curtain? He berates her in open court and humiliates her!

The empress is cold and arrogant? He raises a hand and slaps her, teaching her the meaning of the husband’s authority over his wife!

The ministers form factions and line their own pockets? He flips the table and wipes out their whole families!

He thinks he’ll become the shortest-lived tyrant in history, pushed to the execution block amid the people’s curses and sent home in glory.

But who could have guessed...

He kills the corrupt officials, and the people hail him as emperor while the treasury fills up!

He brings the powerful ministers down, and the court finds peace as power is unified!

Even the four empresses who once saw him as an enemy now compete for his affection, each eager to bear him children!

When the System’s progress bar fills, Qin Feng looks at the officials and beauties of the harem prostrating themselves at his feet and shouting “Emperor of the Ages,” and is utterly dumbfounded.

“Wait, this isn’t how the story was supposed to go! I only wanted to go home and inherit my fortune. How did I end up making this whole broken empire thrive?”
