Synopsis

The animated series Scheming for Power is out now!

The rating just came out, and it'll keep rising! [Male Lead, No Romance] [Golden Finger] [Taking Down Scumbags] [Villain] The story is the main focus, and the protagonist is a vicious, wicked villain.

Kill the protagonist, let the villain rule!

Xiao Qianyu was a villainous male supporting-character employee at the Quick Transmigration Bureau. His System was in a hurry to join the great System strike, so it kicked him into a small world.

He never expected to open his eyes on an execution platform. He was the fake crown prince in The Fake and Real Crown Princes, with the executioner's blade raised above him and the people cursing him. His head was about to fall the very next second.

No need to panic. He had a golden finger: heavenly thunder, strike!

From then on, he no longer needed to follow the plot. Whenever he encountered a protagonist, he killed them.

And so, the coldest, most brutal, merciless emperor was born.

The royal family, suspected of being the protagonist's clan, was slaughtered.

The villainous relatives who stood in his way were wiped out!

The obstacles ahead howled and raged. He kicked them aside!

The history books of later generations recorded:

Emperor Wu Xiao Qianyu rose from the execution platform, carrying out Heaven's will by taking lives.

He destroyed the royal houses of two dynasties, executed the corrupt throughout the city, slaughtered the powerful, and subdued the land with his blade.

Wherever his iron cavalry went, all nations bowed.

He was given the temple name Shizu and the posthumous title Wu. With his merciless campaigns, he settled the realm; with his ruthlessness, he ushered in an age of prosperity.

It's a story where the male protagonist transmigrates to a female-oriented dynasty. The empress dowager and empress's lineage are all fictional characters, while the emperor is somewhat abstract and not entirely fictional; he can hear human speech and seems like a tsundere. The pacing is a bit slow, but so far, the book is alright. Never mind, the male lead is a fake too, and so is the former crown prince, 💩

I love this year's most satisfying novel! Watching the main characters unleash their swearing so swiftly was incredibly exhilarating! My breasts are finally safe! The writing is fluid, especially the swearing sections; the author clearly put in a lot of effort, it's so smooth and easy to read. I love it!

I declare this the most exciting novel I've read all year! Anyone who loves fast-paced, action-packed stories should definitely check it out. The author is truly amazing; the protagonist is a master of time management—even a pyramid scheme leader couldn't sway him like that. Every day after transmigrating is incredibly fulfilling, not a single minute is wasted. I read a hundred chapters in one go, and it's only been three days! Hahaha!

A great, satisfying read; the protagonist is ruthless and decisive. I almost missed it because of its low rating.

It's definitely a female-oriented story. The early episodes are mostly filled with verbal sparring, but that doesn't detract from the enjoyable aspects of female-oriented fiction. It's just a little drawn out with too much descriptive writing. Overall, it's still quite good. 🙂

First, to summarize, it's a great read! To elaborate further, the male lead, the Crown Prince, is capable, resourceful, and eloquent. So far, besides the emperor, who's practically driven mad, and the Empress Dowager, whose power has been stripped, there are no other obstacles in his path. The pacing is definitely fast.

Who was being abused? I don't see it, they were just taking the blame.

Summary: A contest between pseudo-humans to see who is more human + verbal sparring + decisive in killing but not entirely decisive + so far (136 chapters) it's not bad + occasionally gets hurt (but can withstand the damage).

I couldn't stop reading once I started. I love this kind of satisfying read. I really want to rewatch it. I'll wait until it's finished... It's just that the rating is low and there are a lot of negative reviews, what's going on? It's clear from the beginning that this is a story told from the male protagonist's perspective in a female-oriented genre. I think the author wrote it quite well.

This book is truly amazing! The protagonist has a cheat code, and so does the main antagonist. I've read almost 500 chapters, and so far it's a power struggle story of cheat codes versus cheat codes!!! The fact that it's rated less than seven really baffles me. What's wrong with writing more about the antagonist?
