Little Xu has no lofty ambitions. He just wants an ordinary, uneventful life.
He's an ordinary university student, freshly graduated and caught up in the job-hunting frenzy. Just when a company finally tells him to report for work, he gets into a car accident. He transmigrates in an instant and is bound to a Tyrant System. From then on, he can no longer live an ordinary life.
The Tyrant System wants him to stay in the palace and become a puppet emperor, a pushover under the control of the Empress Dowager and the regent. He obediently does as instructed, from the age of eight to eighteen.
When the Empress Dowager and the regent are fighting, the Tyrant System wants him to survive in the cracks while acting like a tyrant, doing things that will go down in history. No, not that: things that will go down in infamy.
For instance, drawing lots at random to execute the sons of noble families in the imperial capital, or publicly abducting women.
Xu says: I can't do that kind of wicked thing.
So the Tyrant System can only watch helplessly as Xu Pingzhi desperately tries to commit [evil deeds that will make him infamous without harming innocent people].
The Tyrant System says: ^O^ Host, at this snail's pace, you won't manage even three infamous deeds before you die of old age. You'll fail the mission.
Xu gives it a helpless look: What can I do? As a young man with normal morals, there's no way I can make up a reason to wipe out entire clans or confiscate people's property. That would cost me merit.
The Tyrant System: ...True. If you did those wicked things, you might not even come back as a pig in your next life.
Xu: I knew it.
While Xu devotes himself to being a "tyrant," the regent watches him suspiciously.
The regent says: The emperor may be a pushover, but he's not the kind of shameless scoundrel who acts on a whim. Why does he keep trying to do tyrant-like things? Could it be... he's trying to make me lower my guard so he can seize real power? Smiling.jpg
Emperor Xu sighs: The regent keeps stopping me from being a tyrant. Ah, what a bother.
In everyday life
At court, the officials always see the emperor propose "terrible ideas," only for the regent to stop him in time. They all think the two of them get along well.
Although the emperor has been on the throne for a long time, the regent still controls the court and refuses to give up power. The officials say: That's a good thing. The regent should keep stopping His Majesty from becoming a tyrant.
The regent says: What is His Majesty up to now?
Emperor Xu gives a meaningful smile: Even I didn't expect to come up with such a great way to go down in infamy without hurting any innocent commoners.
The Tyrant System says: 0.0 Host, you've left me speechless. I... admire you.
