I Am the Fourfold Emperor: From the Start, I Awaken the Star Dome AI City

Emperor Xiao Chen of Great Yan has spent eight months on the throne and become the “four-no good-for-nothing”: no soldiers, no money, no connections, and no freedom. Even the eunuchs dare mock him for being broke. The Empress Dowager controls the treasury, the regent holds the sword, and palace maids keep count of how many times he sneezes. Every day is so humiliating that he wants to flip the table, but all he can do is complain to the ancestral dragon-patterned token: “When will I get to call the shots for once?” One day, a gateway between two worlds activates, connecting him to a ruined city among the stars three thousand years in the future! The city is in ruins and its AI is broken, so he has to survive with a ridiculous program: a defensive tower becomes a karaoke machine, while a mech chants, “Long live the city lord!” The worst part is the core AI, Er Zhuzi. Its domineering persona lasts a second before it turns into a glutton, constantly clinging to his leg and begging for cookies. In the real world, he swallows his pride and plays the fool. In the virtual world, he goes on a rampage, yelling, “You useless piece of junk!” He gets ten conversions a day, but his golden finger comes with bugs: the armor he tries to make turns into an undershirt that shouts “Long live the emperor,” and he recruits loyal ministers with a military doctor who sings off-key. A puppet rises to power, going from face-slapping the court to dominating the stars, laughing as he rules both worlds without playing fair!
