Three Kingdoms: I Take the Throne for a Foolish Emperor

The unluckiest thing that ever happened to Liu Hong was transmigrating into the body of Emperor Ling of Han.

The luckiest thing that ever happened to Liu Hong was that the real emperor, Liu Hong, could only lie in a secret chamber and wait to die, while he got to sit on the dragon throne and rule the realm.

Liu Hong: “I told you to stabilize the court. How did you turn my empire into yours?”

Liu Hong: “Your Majesty misunderstands. The empire is still yours, it’s just... you’re gone.”

With the Emperor System at his side, he outclasses everyone of his time in both intelligence and strength.

By day, he discusses matters of state and war with Xun Yu. By night, he goes to Zhaoyang Palace to school Empress He.

To the world, he’s a debauched, incompetent ruler. In secret, he’s an ambitious warlord commanding the Eastern Depot and the Wei Warriors.

General-in-Chief He Jin thinks Liu Hong is just trying to keep the peace, but the military power has already been transferred to Cao Cao.

The great aristocratic clans think he’s wasting his days in debauchery, but the blade of the performance assessment system is already at their throats.

When Liu Hong finally loses patience and secretly orders Jian Shuo to launch a rebellion, the moment his troops charge to the entrance of Deyang Hall, five hundred Wei Warriors turn them into pincushions.

Liu Hong crouches beside Jian Shuo’s corpse and wipes the blood from his dagger. “Go back and tell the late emperor... Oh, right. You’re on your way there too.”

From that day on, there are no more impostors. There is only one ruler, a Son of Heaven who understands the art of kingship better than the real emperor ever did...
