From the Start, I Squandered the Duke's Estate, Then the Empress Asked Me to Rule the Realm

After transmigrating into Great Qian, he becomes the most despised wastrel playboy around.

From the start, he squanders the entire vast estate of the Duke Who Guards the Nation!

The chief councilor's son blocks his door to collect a debt, the prefect of the capital arrives with men to arrest him, and the whole city waits to watch him ruin himself.

Faced with this nightmarish start, Qin Zhao doesn't panic one bit!

He produces an imperial plaque bestowed by the founding emperor, driving off the officials and delivering a face-slapping blow to the powerful.

To protect his family estate, Qin Zhao wins first place at a poetry gathering and successfully gets a princess on his side!

From then on, Qin Zhao fears neither etiquette nor convention. He takes on the great noble houses and stirs up the capital's power struggles, becoming famous throughout the land before he even realizes it!

In his spare time, teasing the princess and her palace maid becomes part of Qin Zhao's daily routine.

Then he enters the imperial court, sees the familiar figure on the dragon throne, and is utterly dumbfounded!

The palace maid who's been by his side day and night is actually the empress of Great Qian!

After learning the truth, Qin Zhao truly lets loose...

He sweeps away the noble houses, purges corrupt officials, quells rebellions, and stabilizes the realm. At the empress's invitation, he joins her in ruling the vast empire.
