After dying, legal prodigy Chu Ying transmigrates to an alternate dynasty, where he becomes a county magistrate's son and gains a System. As long as he studies, he can earn random rewards.
He places first in the imperial examinations and successfully face-slaps his scumbag father, who favors his concubine and mistreats his wife. What a joke, he doesn't even need the System.
But why are the System's random rewards getting stranger and stranger? A complete guide to making explosives, a manual for training troops, a step-by-step guide to winning people's hearts, and how to become a good ruler?
The next moment, top scholar Chu Ying is banished to the frontier to serve as a scapegoat. Only then does he understand: what kind of study System is this? It's clearly a nation-building System in disguise. Whatever, let's do this!
He and Xie Xun head to the frontier. Using the System, they develop local agriculture, strengthen the border, win the people's hearts, recruit talented people, build up the military, conquer the feudal lords' territories, and defeat foreign enemies. In the end, he actually ascends the throne. Under his rule, the people live in peace and contentment, and he accidentally turns out to have the makings of a wise emperor.
Well, it turns out his heroine is actually a princess of the previous dynasty.
The fake Emperor Jian'an: “Do you know how amazing Emperor Jian'an was? His technology and agriculture were leagues ahead of the countries of his time. What was Country A compared to him? If only a few of his descendants hadn't been such useless fools, maybe we... Hmph.”
“Emperor Jian'an was decisive and imposing. He had only Empress Xiao'an in his harem, and not a single minister dared criticize him for it. He was the true emperor who achieved a lifelong union with one person. His character and accomplishments were both flawless!”
The real Emperor Jian'an: Chu Ying rests his head on a woman's lap and nuzzles against her. “Being emperor is so exhausting... I want to quit. I just want to travel the mountains and rivers with Xiao Xun!”
