[Alternate World] + [Feel-Good Power Fantasy] + [Decisive and Ruthless]
Ling Yi was the sickly prince least favored by his family. As his country faced ruin and his family neared destruction, his father pushed him onto the throne like a pawn, planning to sacrifice his life to buy time for the dynasty to flee south and establish a new state.
Just as he was preparing to lie flat and wait for death, a System notification rang out in his mind:
[Ding! Tyrant System successfully bound! Ultimate mission: squander the Northern Zhou Dynasty's fortune and bring about the country's downfall.][Ultimate reward: Take all rewards, your lifespan, and ten billion in cash back to your original world!]
Ling Yi was ecstatic! This mission was tailor-made for him! Be a tyrant? That was right up his alley!
But he never imagined that his “tyrant” script would go off the rails at every turn.
He diverted military funds and embarked on an extravagant construction of a towering sacrificial altar, hoping only to squander the treasury. Instead, he accidentally uncovered a vast silver mine, and a heavenly omen appeared, instantly filling the treasury to overflowing!
He favored Shen Lang, the capital's number-one wastrel, intending to let him squander the mountain of silver. Instead, Shen Lang unexpectedly built a commercial empire richer than the nation itself!
He forcibly took the talented beauty Chu Qingxuan, hoping to break her proud spirit. Instead, she became utterly devoted to him, turning into a virtuous consort praised for the ages, offering him advice and vowing to follow him to the death!
He even flung open the city gates and let the Northern Rong cavalry enter, sitting back to await his country's destruction. Instead, thunder and meteorites rained down from the heavens, annihilating two hundred thousand enemy troops. The people hailed him as the “Chosen One”!
Watching the Great Zhou grow stronger by the day, Ling Yi was on the verge of tears. “I just want to be a king who loses his country so I can go home and lie flat! How did I become a sage ruler who restored the dynasty? Did I get the wrong script?!”
A tyrant who only wants to lose his country and go home gets forced into becoming an emperor for the ages. How is anyone supposed to live like this?
Good guy, this system really only gives lifespan, and it only gives you dozens and dozens of days.
Why are the books gone 😢
