“Trusted comrade of the mole guerrillas, indispensable ally of the Golden Iris Empire, reformist governor of the Shattered Empire, most-wanted criminal in the rat nations, greatest rat warlord in history, ruler to whom the Knights swear undying loyalty, the 55th century's greatest philanthropist and most hated war criminal, and the most charismatic of the Edgeworld's Ten Great Leaders...”
“Mr. Li Ming, what do you have to say about your achievements? And do you think they have anything to do with transcendent intelligence?”
“First of all, I'm just an ordinary rat. I couldn't have done it without the people who have supported me behind the scenes.”
“Secondly, Fried Rice Intelligence did give me a little help, but my sweat and hard work were much more important.”
“Lastly, as the leader of the Ring-Rat Alliance, my role is absolutely essential. You may applaud now.” Li Ming spoke thus amid flowers and applause from a crowd of ten thousand.
“By the way, how could the lemmings have secretly founded their own country with my covert help? That's slander against me and the Lemming Federation!”
In the year 5515, the United States of Lemming was officially founded.
The above is taken from “Records of a Leader: Interviews,” by Feng Xinzi. It tells the story of an indecisive leader who tries his hardest to explain away his flirting skills with a tortoise, much to everyone's amusement. It's an absurdist comedy fairy tale.
Of course, we have to start the story at the beginning.
In the year 5500, love, hope, and the sun all took the stage in the chaotic Edgeworld, though their power was still weak.
