Feng Yuxing ends thirty years of chaos, unifies the realm, then suddenly dies after reigning for only a few years.
When he opens his eyes again, the world is a desolate wasteland overrun by zombies.
A voice in his head, claiming to be the System, speaks in a sarcastic singsong: “Welcome to the wasteland thousands of years in the future~”
Feng Yuxing: “What is a wasteland?”
System: “A world with no nations, scarce food, and people split into factions, forced to fight all sorts of forces just to survive!”
Feng Yuxing says calmly, “Understood. The rightful order has collapsed, warlords have carved up the land, the people are suffering, and the world is in turmoil.”
System: “?? That... that’s one way to put it...”
Feng Yuxing: “Then I’ll put an end to this chaos again, just like that.”
System: “??”

Feng Yuxing finds half a human head in a garbage dump.
The owner of this half-head is nasty, scheming, and a genius at underhanded tactics. The only problem is that he has lost his memory and no one knows who he is.
Feng Yuxing is open-minded about recruiting talent and takes the half-head on as his adviser.
Later, his subjects discover that once the half-head has been restored to a whole person...
Their invincible emperor falls ill. Specifically, he has a sore back, weak legs, and can’t get out of bed for an entire week.
Someone nervously asks, “Your Majesty, what is his position...?”
Feng Yuxing is silent for a moment, then answers in a hoarse voice, “Empress.”

Above these ruins,
I will kindle an undying flame.
Then, with the force of a wildfire,
It will burn through the heavens.
Scheming, wicked, shameless adviser who starts out as half a head x overconfident emperor who thinks he can conquer the world
