I woke up to find I had become the Chongzhen Emperor.
Wei Zhongxian would kill me in an hour.
The Ming dynasty would fall in seventeen years.
System: “Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the National Fortune System!”
Lin Yan: “Get me a hundred death warriors first. We’re taking down Wei Zhongxian!”
System: “...Host, get a grip. All you have right now is an acting aura!”
And so, the most shamelessly calculating Chongzhen in history was born.
Feigning madness to lull the powerful eunuch into complacency;
Using the tiger tally to command the army and turn the tide;
Purging the eunuch faction and winning over the officials;
Training a new army and resisting foreign enemies.
When everyone thought the new emperor was merely lucky,
Lin Yan smiled faintly, baring his fangs.
The game of the Ming dynasty was only just beginning!
