In the first year of Jian’an, Liu Xie dies of illness. To keep “holding the emperor to command the warlords,” Cao Cao finds a six-year-old boy, Liu Chen, to inherit the throne.
Cao Cao thinks he has found a puppet he can manipulate at will, unaware that the six-year-old has bonded with the [God-Tier Tyrant System] and possesses the divine strength of the Hegemon-King!
At the enthronement ceremony, Liu Chen yawns at the arrogant court officials, slaps a 100,000-jin bronze cauldron flat, then lifts Cao Cao into the air with one hand. “Chancellor, can your body withstand a punch from me?”
From then on, everything goes completely off the rails.
The great families are slaughtered and the aristocratic clans are dispossessed. Cao Cao handles all the dirty work. Everyone under heaven condemns the cruel Cao thief and pities the poor little emperor.
At court, Liu Chen sobs his heart out. “Chancellor, please spare the Sima family!”
After court, Liu Chen kicks Cao Cao over. “Why is the money seized from the Sima family short by a tenth? If you skim another coin, I’ll beat you to death!”
When the Bronze Sparrow Tower is finished and Diao Chan and the Qiao sisters are all brought into the imperial palace, Cao Cao breaks down in tears. “Your Majesty, I’m the traitor here! How come I take all the blame while you get all the enjoyment? Please abdicate!”
