[Alternate history + System + lighthearted]
Xiao Hong transmigrates into the last emperor of the Great Yin Dynasty and binds himself to a Nation-Dooming System!
The System tells him: Great Yin is supposed to fall in three years. If the regime still exists by then, he will be erased outright.
In other words, if he doesn’t ruin the country, he dies!
Countdown: 1,095 days!
He throws himself into the business of bringing down the country. He takes it so seriously that everyone at court assumes His Majesty must have some deeper plan.
He sends corrupt officials to oversee the army, and they negotiate a marriage alliance.
He squanders the treasury, yet somehow the coffers keep getting fuller.
He promotes useless men, and they come up with military equipment reforms.
He orders the seas closed, and maritime merchants establish an autonomous territory overseas.
He stokes a succession struggle, and both princes grow into capable men through the competition.
Three years later, the nation’s strength has doubled. As the countdown nears zero, he makes a decision the System never saw coming…
