Li Fan is mentally ill. After tormenting his father for eighteen years, he finally got him to admit that he was a rich second-generation heir.
But then he transmigrated, and the System told him he could go home if he died.
So he had no choice but to keep trying to get himself killed.
Several years later.
Li Fan: “I really just want to die. I’m not some wise ruler!”
The ministers: “And you still dare say you’re not a wise ruler? You rooted out corrupt officials, ventured deep into enemy territory, and defied all convention to carry out reforms that benefited the people! If you’re not a wise ruler, then who among the emperors of history is?”
Li Fan: “What a disaster! All I wanted was to get myself killed and go home to inherit the family fortune! How did I become an emperor for the ages?!”
Many years later, the history books would write of him in bold strokes: Great Ancestor of Daqian, peerless ruler, emperor for the ages!
