I Resolve to Become the Mad King of Great Wei and Rebel

After transmigrating to Great Wei, Zhou Xuan discovered that he had become the infamous Mad King from history. His brothers wanted him dead, and though he wanted to become Crown Prince, people mocked him as the Mad King.

With no other choice, Zhou Xuan decided to rebel. He bought farmland and property, but others thought he was a fool and sold him their land. He dug for coal and iron, but the emperor simply granted him a mine and told him to stop searching everywhere. He improved firearms, but people treated them as toys and laughed at him. He trained his own new army, but people mocked him for being wildly unrealistic, and the emperor even gave him a group of men so he could play at being a general.

Seeing that his delusions seemed to be improving, the emperor sent him off to his fief to take up his post. But just after he arrived, the emperor heard news of a rebellion, and the rebel was none other than his own mad son.

The emperor thought Zhou Xuan was just raving and treated it as a joke. Little did he know that Zhou Xuan's army was already at the gates. As the emperor called in more troops, Zhou Xuan shouted, "Father, I've had another episode! Hurry and open the gates so your son can come in!"
