I've Been Demonized, So Isn't It Only Fair to Be a Tyrant?

Yan Jiuli transmigrates into the body of a puppet emperor of the Dayuan Dynasty, only to discover in despair that every court official is a millennia-old great demon wearing human skin.

To survive while surrounded by monsters, he has no choice but to practice an extreme demonic art, frantically increasing his power by acting outrageously and committing every wicked deed expected of a tyrant.

So he lets loose completely. He allows a tiger to devour people in the Golden Throne Hall and orders every Confucian classic in the realm burned to ashes.

He even squanders the people’s wealth and strength, conscripting a million laborers to build a towering White Bone Spirit-Suppressing Pagoda at the heart of the imperial city.

The people believe Dayuan is on the verge of collapse, but are stunned to discover that the Grand Secretary eaten by the tiger has turned after death into a nine-headed centipede that feeds on the nation’s fortune!

The burned classics had long been filled with otherworldly evil spirits that beguiled the human heart, while the extravagant White Bone Pagoda was holding down a world-ending demon on the verge of breaking free!

At last, Yan Jiuli becomes the greatest evil god of all time. Standing atop the bones of countless demons, he prepares to face the eternal condemnation of history as a foolish tyrant.

Yet the new aristocracy at court and the common people across the realm fall to their knees in tears, crying out that His Majesty risked his own life to save all living beings, making him a peerless sage ruler seldom seen in all the ages!

Watching an age of peace, with envoys from every land coming to pay tribute, Yan Jiuli lets out a helpless sigh. I really only wanted to be a tyrant from the start.
