Rule the World, Then Do the Dishes

I am Zhao Junlin, the Iron Emperor who founded the Great Xia Dynasty.

I ruled with both civil virtue and military might, subdued the great clans, and conquered all under heaven. Yet on the day I achieved everything, I was betrayed by the empress and my trusted general, and died full of resentment.

When I opened my eyes, I had been reborn.

I had been reborn in the body of Xiao Junlin, the capital’s greatest good-for-nothing and its most notorious spineless live-in son-in-law.

And worse, my father-in-law was Lin Boyong, the current prime minister, who opposed me at every turn back then and wanted nothing more than to take my throne!

Looking at my icy “newlywed wife,” the foot-washing water she had brought, and the old face that looked just like my enemy’s, I understood.

In my previous life, I fought you all from the dragon throne.

In this life, I’ll start in your own backyard and take back this vast empire!

The empire is mine, the world is mine, and your daughter... ahem, she’s mine too!
