My Empire Has Landed

My Empire Has Landed

Xiao Yi, the Taian Emperor of Great Liang, ascended the throne at seventeen. At twenty-three, he put down the Rebellion of the Nine Princes, and at twenty-five, he introduced the Taian Reforms. He was hailed as the greatest wise ruler of Great Liang's revival. With the fate of the realm in his hands, a single word from him could decide whether thousands lived or died. His entire life was spent matching wits with powerful ministers, imperial kinsmen, and foreign enemies. He firmly believed that imperial authority was supreme: I am the state.

Then, during a grand ceremony to worship Heaven, strange phenomena filled the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck him. When he awoke, he found himself in a bizarre “immortal realm”: the Chinese imperial capital in 2036.

He had become a 22-year-old delivery rider named “Xiao Yi.” His parents had died young, he had dropped out of high school, and he lived in a subdivided room in an urban village beyond the Fifth Ring Road, paying 900 yuan a month. His electric scooter was his warhorse, his phone his memorials to the throne, and the system known as “Hummingbird Crowdsourcing” his only “superior.” The System kept issuing commands: “Your order is about to be late,” “The customer is asking where their order is,” and “You have a new penalty notice.”
