[Transmigration | Historical Political Intrigue | Puppet Emperor Without a Golden Finger]
Li Miao, a political science student, transmigrates into an alternate Eastern Han dynasty and becomes Xie Miao, a puppet emperor everyone can push around.
Powerful ministers control the court, while the former emperor was weak and ineffectual, leaving imperial authority hollowed out.
Other transmigrators get the standard System and cheat abilities. All Li Miao has with him is three years' worth of political science knowledge from university.
Just after arriving, he is confronted by a powerful minister who comes to make trouble. Li Miao uses game theory to refute his opponent on the spot. While reviewing memorials, he secretly lays his plans, navigating the great clans and imperial in-laws as he gradually reclaims imperial authority and rises from a puppet at everyone's mercy to an emperor who holds the reins of power.
