After I Became a Short-Lived Emperor

[Entering V on March 22, with three chapters that day]

Ye Lian, a big shot in the quick transmigration bureau, unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of the short-lived emperor of the Great Zhou. This emperor is not only short-lived, but terribly unlucky.

The previous emperor died of fright after the northern Rong declared an emperor. Ye Lian inherited the throne amid internal and external crises, then died of exhaustion from handling state affairs. The Great Zhou still fell after his death.

Outside, the Rong and Di tribes covet the realm. Inside, the Empress Dowager and her relatives hold power. The country is a complete mess: the treasury is empty, border defenses are lax, tribute payments are crushing, and floods and droughts strike from time to time. The common people can barely keep themselves fed.

Taking over this mess on such an extreme difficulty setting leaves Ye Lian feeling helpless.

Fortunately, governing a country is something he knows how to do.

Zhongli Wei: His Majesty possesses the bearing of his ancestors. Though uninhibited by nature, he has a clear plan and outstanding talent. He is worthy of being called a wise ruler of his age.

Wei Rui: His Majesty devotes himself to good governance, reforms military affairs, drives out the Rong and Di, and wins the world's allegiance. He is truly a great ruler.

Yuan Chong: His Majesty is a rare talent among the Mohists, ingenious and exceptionally clever. He is transforming the lives of the people throughout the land. We still have much work to do.

Qiu Wanqing: His Majesty recognized my worth. All my honors are owed to him. I will serve him with all my heart until my dying breath, and expand the realm for him.

During the reign of the Great Zhou's Sage Emperor, famous ministers and brilliant generals emerged in great numbers, bringing glory to the history books. There was just one problem: the whole court praised the emperor to the skies.

Please add my new book, The Perfect Partner (Quick Transmigration), to your reading list.

Synopsis:

Ye Huai, a rebellious young lord in a matriarchal kingdom, was notorious for being dissolute, arrogant, jealous of the talented, and unfit to be anyone's husband.

When he opened his eyes again, the world had changed beyond recognition.

System 1012: Please play the role of the perfect partner.

Host Ye Huai stubbornly refuses.

Equality between men and women is everyone's responsibility.

Ye Huai, who died of depression: I won't regret it! I'll become a virtuous husband and father! Men need careers too!

Later, he realizes how good it is!

He may not be called a virtuous husband and father, but he still needs to uphold a man's virtue.
