I am Su Chen, the most loyal minister in Great Xia.
Ever since I awakened the Loyal Minister System, I have been determined to serve my country faithfully and ease His Majesty's burdens.
To solve the drought, I proposed issuing government bonds and providing relief through work programs. To repel foreign invaders, I proposed emptying the treasury and arming the entire population.
Every strategy I came up with looked to the court officials like a recipe for the nation's ruin and a sure path to my own death.
Only Her Majesty trusted me without question.
She always overruled the opposition and gave me her full support. I was so moved that tears filled my eyes, and I swore to serve Her Majesty with every last drop of my blood!
But why... whenever the realm is at peace and the people sing my praises, does Her Majesty look at me as if she wants to tear me limb from limb?
Your Majesty, what... did I do wrong?
I am Xiao Qingluan, Empress of Great Xia, and I awakened the Tyrant System.
If I don't rule as a tyrant, I'll die.
Only by ruining the nation's fortunes can I learn the path to immortality.
But my court is full of loyal ministers, making my grand scheme to destroy the nation impossible to carry out.
Then a top scholar named Su Chen appeared.
He's practically a treacherous minister sent by heaven, a kindred spirit in bringing down the nation!
So why is the treasury getting fuller? Why do the people adore him more and more? Why are our borders growing ever more secure?!
“Su Chen! Do you know that you are guilty of deceiving the throne?”
