You Told Me to Be King Zhou, So How Did I Become a Sage for the Ages?

A modern college student dies suddenly after staying up all night, then transmigrates into King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin, and binds himself to the Great Fatuous Ruler System.

The System's rules are simple and crude: perform the actions of a foolish ruler, and you'll receive cultivation rewards and Foolishness Points, which can be exchanged for precious materials, cultivation techniques, and miraculous medicines.

He thinks that if he simply copies the actions of his predecessor, King Zhou, becoming a notorious tyrant will be a sure thing.

But fate has other plans. Every time he carefully schemes some foolish act, his subordinates' godlike imagination and misunderstandings turn it, by a strange twist of fate, into wise and benevolent rule.

He burns memorials and neglects affairs of state, only to discover they were flattering memorials swapped in by the treacherous ministers Fei Zhong and You Hun.

He holds a selection of beauties in Zhaoge to bring women into the palace, but it turns into a census.

The harder he tries to be a foolish ruler, the more grateful the people become, and the more willingly the feudal lords submit to him.
