A Tyrant for the Ages? I Just Want to Bring Down the Dynasty

[Misread-mastermind story] [Foolish emperor story] [System story] [Lighthearted comedy] [Multiple heroines] [Alternate history] [Transmigration + System + everyone thinks the protagonist is a mastermind + lighthearted + multiple heroines]

Chen An transmigrates into the body of a puppet emperor of the Great Qian dynasty. From the start, he’s bound to the “Fallen Kingdom System”: as long as he brings about the country’s downfall by acting recklessly, he can return to the modern world! So he orders the treasury emptied to build a useless, extravagant palace. He intends to waste the people’s labor and money, but accidentally creates a work-relief program and averts a rebellion by a million refugees! The corrupt ministers cry out in amazement, “Your Majesty is a man of profound foresight, truly a divine being!” Chen An is on the verge of tears. In his quest to ruin the kingdom, he appoints treacherous officials, goes incognito to stir up trouble, and even encourages rebellion. Yet the imperial examinations produce peerless ministers, the treacherous officials turn into loyal dogs, and his consorts join forces to help him govern the realm. Looking at a unified empire receiving tribute from every nation, Chen An rubs his chin. “I really just wanted to be a foolish emperor who did nothing but eat and wait to die. How did I become an emperor for the ages?”
