The blurb may be polished further, and the protagonist's name may change.
After Song Minghuan died, he transmigrated into a melodramatic novel set in an ancient world. It would have been bad enough to become a marquis or an emperor like everyone else, but he didn't even become a person.
He ended up inside the head of the cruel, murderous dog emperor, becoming his System: the Benevolent Ruler System 001.
The dog emperor was called Qin Xiao. Song Minghuan had to earn one hundred Benevolent Ruler Points from him to leave.
After reading the story's script, Song Minghuan learned that Qin Xiao had been born to lowly circumstances and abused and trampled by palace attendants since childhood. He had become utterly evil, murdering his father and elder brother at sixteen to seize the throne, then beginning his reign as a foolish emperor.
Favoring sycophants and shunning the wise, imposing exorbitant taxes, persecuting loyal officials, and indulging in debauchery.
He was unmistakably a terrible ruler.
Song Minghuan flipped through the book of sages in his hands, unafraid.
He had no physical body, so the dog emperor couldn't do anything to him. Besides, he had System privileges: he could shock people.
On his first day there, the dog emperor had just executed the oily, portly parasite of a vice minister from the Ministry of Works. Hot blood still spattered the man's impossibly handsome face.
The vice minister of the Ministry of Works, Gao Qingyan, had embezzled military funds and formed a faction for personal gain. He deserved to die.
With a ding, Song Minghuan's cool voice rang out in Qin Xiao's mind.
Benevolent Ruler Points: 1

The dog emperor was very interested in him and kept saying he wanted to cut open his head and pull him out for fun.
Song Minghuan paid him no mind and assigned the dog emperor countless tasks.
Favor the worthy and shun the corrupt, reduce taxes, understand the people's circumstances, and restore order at court.
The dog emperor basically never listened, and was always using his thoughts to tease him.
Song Minghuan's only problem was that he was inside Qin Xiao's head and couldn't escape Qin Xiao's thoughts. Qin Xiao knew it, too.
Qin Xiao couldn't see him, only hear him, so he became more and more brazen, always bullying him until he made a sound.
Song Minghuan didn't take it lying down: he zapped Qin Xiao right back.
Leaning against the dragon throne, Qin Xiao said in a casual voice, "I bet you're a beauty, and a stunning one at that."
Song Minghuan ignored him.
Qin Xiao gave a lazy laugh. "One day, I'm going to have you die in my bed."
Song Minghuan expressionlessly pressed the shock button.

After plenty of bumps along the way, the Benevolent Ruler Points finally neared one hundred.
At the sacrificial ceremony, Qin Xiao sat in a place of honor as the officials paid their respects.
The Benevolent Ruler Points finally reached 100.
Song Huan said goodbye to him at last. "I hope you'll continue to be a good emperor."
The next second, someone fell into Qin Xiao's arms.
From the sky.
Qin Xiao looked at the beauty's cool, startled face.
He smiled.
"All right."
Song Minghuan: "?????"
