The story in this article is cruel, first-person, and the main point of view in the later stage is a complete villain, all villains. Not 1v1, no redemption plot, let down in both directions.
Li Zhou is an ordinary computer science student. After a sudden death all night, he woke up and found that he was Li Chengye, the emperor of Dasheng Dynasty who had just ascended the throne. Seventeen years old, wearing a dragon robe, and a harem of three thousand, sounds much more promising than 996. But before he had time to be happy, he discovered that the dragon chair was set up on the crater of the volcano - in the court there was the Queen Mother who was behind the curtain and the chief minister who covered the sky with his hands. There were tigers and wolves in the north looking at him, and there were floods and famine refugees all over the country. And he didn't have a single soldier in his hands, and every word he said might kill someone, but there was no major event that he could control.
In this cannibal palace, he was forced to learn a new rule of survival: kindness is a weakness, trust is a bet, and violence is a pass. The actors sent by the Queen Mother surrounded the temptation with the sound of pianos and pear swirls, and the guards sent by the Queen Mother covered the surveillance with silence. And he himself was undergoing some kind of change unknowingly - the blood that once made him vomit gradually became numb; the bottom lines he swore never to cross were blurring under his feet.
This is a story about choice, compromise and alienation after an ordinary person was thrown into the whirlpool of power. First person, ancient style, overhead, dark.
Concept: How power can completely strangle human nature in an ordinary person. The feudal system is not the problem of one bad person, but a meat squeezer - everyone who sits on the dragon's throne will be squeezed into the same shape by it. What the story wants to say is not how bad the tyrant is, but that anyone put in that position may end up in the same abyss.
