After dying from overwork, office worker Yin Xiaoqiang opened his eyes to find himself transmigrated as Yin Li, crown prince of the Shang Dynasty, and about to be dragged off to the bronze-burning torture chamber the moment he was born! At death's door, he bound himself to the “Strongest Benevolent Ruler Assistance System.” Its beginner mission was to publicly remonstrate with the tyrant King Zhou and demand he abolish torture.
He thought it was a suicide mission, but King Zhou defied all expectations. “Good! Call me a tyrant like Jie and Zhou! Tear down the torture chamber and turn it into weapons!” The licentious tyrant of legend became an infrastructure fanatic who spent his days plotting to demolish palaces and build public housing, and develop “spiritual energy power cores.” The notorious seductress Su Daji turned out to be a technical whiz and scholarly queen, holding “resource optimization meetings” with animal-skin engineering plans in hand.
From creating “labor reform” to put prisoners to work on construction, to making cement and building fortresses, to establishing the “Great Shang Central Bank” and issuing government bonds, Yin Li uses modern thinking to propel the Shang Dynasty into a new era. He must also thwart the Western Church's schemes, root out spies in the Shadow Hall, and join forces with true immortals of the Jie Sect and the East Sea Dragon Clan to protect the spirit-stone mines.
When the eccentric King Zhou meets a transmigrator with a System, when the “seductress” becomes an ally and the “tyrant” a comrade-in-arms, a hilarious journey begins to overturn the Investiture of the Gods script and defy fate as China rises. In the end, they build a monument to civilization to resist the Heavenly Dao and establish a new dynasty to protect humanity's way. Even Yin Li, who had died once, is successfully revived, and together with King Zhou, he ushers in a new era for humankind!
