I'm Really Not the Galactic Demon Lord!

After transmigrating into a virtual reality game, Sheng Zhao becomes a tyrant on the verge of being overthrown. Seated in a luxurious palace, with a mecha's spatial key on one side and a male consort on the other, she trembles as she embraces them both. Emperor System: Achieve the ultimate goal of becoming either a wise ruler or a tyrant, and you can go home. Sheng Zhao looks at the kingdom's absurdly backward infrastructure, then at the court officials marked in yellow and red for their varying degrees of hostility. Life is too hard. There's no way she's going to stir up trouble. She might as well be a tyrant, enjoy herself, and hurry the kingdom toward ruin so she can fake her death and go home. However... Sheng Zhao promotes the red-marked guard who is most hostile toward her on the spot. The future leader of the rebel army is moved to tears and vows his loyalty. "Your Majesty, the Tyrant... I mean, Your Majesty is wise!" Sheng Zhao: ? * Sheng Zhao gets her overly enthusiastic officials to eat and drink with her. Decadent noble: Oh no, I've been found out! His Majesty is terrifying! He made me turn myself in, and his plans are flawless. How devious! Sheng Zhao: ?? * Sheng Zhao lies flat, lounging in the sun. The evil cultists who catch sight of her: Sob, we knew the Demon King was only pretending to relax so she could lure us out! Is it too late to switch sides and join her? Sheng Zhao: ??? No... Listen to me... Making things up in your head is a sickness. You need treatment! A year later, the kingdom sees not a single uprising and instead thrives. Ten years later, the tyrant of the empire is a wise ruler praised by everyone, unmatched in cunning and intelligence. People of later generations say that the wise ruler who united the starry river and her talented ministers saved the world. Sheng Zhao's little monologue: No, I'm not the Demon King. No, I'm not a jinx, and I don't have the gift of prophecy. No... Fine, I'll come clean. I, Sheng Zhao, AKA the world's smartest person, maker of nuclear peace, despotic tyrant, and great Demon King. Welcome to the stars! Another peaceful day of enjoying life after transmigrating. Everyone's working hard and trembling with fear under the Demon King's shadow today, too! #Enjoy Life, and Become the Best in the World While You're At It# #The Demon King Everyone Imagined Into Existence Turns Out to Be a Wise Emperor!# Reading Tips: 1. Everyone's wildly overactive imagination gradually turns the protagonist into a deity. The protagonist is lazy but incredibly powerful. 2. It's a spacefaring setting with a hodgepodge of political systems, including Western fantasy, magic, and religious elements. At first, the protagonist's kingdom is far behind the interstellar world in technology and information. The story explains this in stages. 3. The protagonist will have several romantic experiences, with one-on-one pairings at different stages. No children. The ministers gradually develop an eight-hundred-meter-thick filter through which they see the protagonist. Theme: Look beyond appearances to see the truth
