The Poisonous Strategist of Wuzhou: I Rose to the Top Through Ruthlessness!

Su Heng wakes up to find himself the newly appointed top scholar of the Great Zhou dynasty, and discovers that he's also awakened the Invincible Dirty Tricks System. Every devious scheme earns him emotional points that he can trade for all kinds of incredible rewards! Disaster relief grain has been embezzled? He mixes sand into the porridge. The corrupt officials and wealthy families are too afraid to touch it, but the refugees gobble it up. At court, the officials curse him as utterly depraved, and the empress is so furious she wants his head. Then a petition arrives from the people: the refugees are begging for him to be promoted! From then on, the Great Zhou court's style changes completely. Others offer humane, righteous counsel, while Su Heng's schemes leave his opponents with nothing! The treasury is empty? He pulls off a “Su-style Ponzi scheme,” makes off with millions of taels from a neighboring country, and flees! The Qing dynasty wants a war? He launches an information campaign, using clickbait headlines to leave Qianlong unable to defend himself! Li Shimin holds an emergency meeting late into the night to sue for peace. Zhu Yuanzhang wants to tie him down as a son-in-law. Even Ying Zheng issues a statement vowing never to go to war again! The empress looks at Great Zhou's flourishing national fortune and its utterly ruined reputation, at a loss for words. Su Heng says innocently, “Your Majesty, I only want to be a good person.”
