[No, Don't! Being Emperor Is Awesome!] [Realistic Simulation] [It's Your Turn to Be Emperor, You Sneaky Rascal!]
In a parallel world, full-immersion gaming has reached its peak, but every game is a mindless power fantasy where you can kill a level-999 enemy with one hit.
Fang Yuan, a top history student who has transmigrated to this world, takes over a game company on the verge of bankruptcy and gets bound to the [Tyrant's Frustration System]. Seeing ignorant posts on the forums like “Give me the throne and I'll give you an empire where the sun never sets,” Fang Yuan sneers and brings out the ultra-realistic game Ming Dynasty 1627.
A streamer with tens of millions of followers confidently starts the game: “I'll execute Wei Zhongxian, pacify the Manchus, and spend my nights with three thousand beauties in the harem!”
But the day after killing Wei Zhongxian, he's poisoned by a eunuch at dinner.
He forces a round of palace selections to fill the harem, bankrupting the treasury. Refugees revolt, and the rebels hang him on Coal Hill.
Staring at classical Chinese memorials filling the screen with “Floods in Jiangnan” and “Urgent situation at the border,” the streamer develops dark circles from spending all night in the full-immersion pod and breaks down sobbing. “You old fox Fang! Can I quit being emperor? I'm a wage slave in real life, and now I have to read memorials in a game too?”
