Tang Yuan, the male lead of a typical web novel, transmigrated.
He thought he'd have lucky encounters on one side and cheat abilities on the other, conquering the world with an invincible aura.
Instead, he found he had neither talent nor cheats, and everyone around him was a mighty ruler. He was just an extra.
He couldn't accept that. After transmigrating, how could he not fight to become a king and a mighty ruler?
Was his fate to recruit a group of mighty rulers, accomplish great things, and rise to the top as the mightiest of them all?
This setup... was kind of badass!
Tang Yuan, having just grasped the meaning of life, smiled slyly.
Haven't you seen how Liu Bei puts on airs, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei bravely slay enemies while Zhuge Kongming strains himself to come up with strategies?
So when Tang Yuan puts on airs, all the mighty rulers leap into action, risk life and limb to serve as his stepping stones, and help him ascend to the ultimate summit?
But then he accidentally takes his act too far and gets eaten, so...
This is a story with a male protagonist who is pursued by men.

In a sentence: A leader who doesn't realize he's not smart enough, and a subordinate with overwhelming power who is always trying to turn the tables on him. The battle has begun.
