This Wise Ruler Thing? I’m Done with It!

Bound to the “I can go home if the country falls” System, Xu Yu transmigrates into the body of a powerless puppet emperor. Desperate to return to the modern world, he does everything he can to get himself killed: promotes treacherous officials, undermines his own defenses, and even leads an expedition himself to get his troops slaughtered... But the entire court mistakes his reckless behavior for far-sighted strategy. The treacherous officials turn out to be loyal undercover agents, military cutbacks expose a corrupt magnate, and his wasteful infrastructure projects accidentally enrich the country and strengthen its military. He wants nothing more than to die, yet becomes an emperor praised by all as a ruler for the ages. He only wants to be deposed, but his grip on the throne grows ever firmer. Worse still, the cool and aloof female general Luo Xing, who was ordered to keep watch over him, is looking at him in an increasingly peculiar way... Just as his grand plan to bring down the country becomes a laughingstock, a tide of conspiracies and turmoil begins to sweep across the land. Only then does Xu Yu realize that his “way home” has long been inextricably bound to the dynasty, and to her fate.
