Chongzhen: I’m a Tyrant, So Confiscating Estates Is Only Natural

(Late Ming, no System) In the seventh year of the Tianqi era, Wei Zhongxian holds the court in his grip, while the Manchu cavalry beyond the passes watches like a tiger ready to pounce. At this perilous moment, a soul from the modern age transmigrates into the newly enthroned Chongzhen Emperor, Zhu Youjian.

He knows the great edifice is about to collapse. Only decisive, thunderous action can turn the tide!

He vows not to become the last emperor who hangs himself on Coal Hill. Instead, he is determined to become an iron-fisted ruler who acts without hesitation.

He brings Wei Zhongxian to heel, rebuilds the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and establishes a new imperial army.

He puts the court in order, leads the Ming army in fierce battles along the northern frontier, roots out corrupt officials, and resists the Manchus.

Step by step, Zhu Youjian plans ahead and makes every move count. Amid the tangled, treacherous struggle for power, he turns the tide single-handedly and forges an eternal golden age for the Ming!
