Everyone Thinks I’m a Tyrant

Xie Xi died suddenly and transmigrated into an ancient-style mobile game he had once played. From the start, he was born a prince, winning the lottery of reincarnation and landing straight in the lap of luxury. Delighted to coast through life, he was even happier as the pampered youngest son of the emperor.

Who could have guessed that in Yongtai Year 25, a livestream would suddenly appear from the heavens, reviewing one by one the things he had done while controlling his character in the game. From the perspective of people in the future, they bestowed on him the dual titles of tyrant and enlightened ruler.

[As the champion who emerged victorious from the fierce succession struggle during the Yongtai era, Emperor Jing Taizong, famed for his ruthlessness, pioneered the fine tradition of killing brothers, murdering younger siblings, and sacrificing his entire family to seize the throne. His mental state remained remarkably consistent in its insanity from beginning to end.]

The sunflowers of the Xie family all turned their heads in unison: "!!!"

Xie Xi, suddenly singled out: I was just developing my career path.

[According to incomplete statistics, Emperor Jing Taizong personally killed thirty-six officials in a fit of fury. During his reign, there were four major cases involving tens of thousands of people. As everyone knows, serving as one of Emperor Jing Taizong's ministers really could cost you your life.]

The ministers, suddenly thrust into a battle royale: "???"

Xie Xi, receiving everyone's pointed looks: Don't make things up. It was just that ordinary loyalty values had changed into clear-cut targets for killing. I was only combining them over and over to collect high-stat ministers with four- and five-star ratings.

[Even after emerging as the Gu King, Xie Xi remained just as ruthless when it came to passing on his line. To put it this way, every child of Emperor Jing Taizong who ultimately survived turned out to be a success.]

Emperor Jing Taizu Xie Youjing, famous for his iron will and ruthlessness, asked in astonishment, "What do you mean, the children who ultimately survived?"

Xie Xi, leaning against his father's side: The ones who weren't outstanding got killed, freeing up slots to refresh for better children.

[Throughout his life, he did as he pleased, forcefully and domineeringly embodying the confidence that the world existed because of him! Even in his later years, the history books explicitly record that he claimed to be a god of the world and the like.]

His young nephews stared wide-eyed. Even at three, they wouldn't say things like that.

Xie Xi, whose face was burning under their gazes: The game world exists because of the player. Surely a player of an ancient-style single-player game can call himself a god without it being an exaggeration.

Xie Xi, continually exposed by livestreams from the future, felt terribly wronged. Believe me, everyone, I'm not that kind of person!

The court officials and his brothers all avoided his gaze, watching this fake slacker, this wolf in sheep's clothing, with wariness and suspicion.
