Seven Kingdoms in Chaos: I Slaughter the World with Poisonous Schemes

[Poisonous Strategist] [Conquer the World] [Feel-Good] [One Hundred and Eight Tricks of the Qianmen School]

Jiang Cheng, a ruthless capitalist, dies while trying to bring glory to his country.

His soul transmigrates to the Great Zhou, but from the start he is kidnapped by bandits. After setting a trap to wipe them out, he is captured as a suspected spy by the current dynasty's Third Princess, Ying Zhao, who is heading north to repel the Xiongnu.

To stay alive, he has no choice but to pass himself off as a poisonous strategist and join Ying Zhao's ranks.

From then on, he uses ruthless schemes to wreak havoc across the land. From princes and ministers to ordinary folk, all become pieces in his hands.

Many years later, Jiang Cheng sits upon the highest throne, gazing at the empress in his arms.

"Meiniang, would you give me this realm?"

"If my husband wants it, then take it."

"Ha ha, I don't want it. Is there anything more boring than being emperor?"

This blurb does it no justice. Go read the story itself: the characters are clever, and the schemes keep coming.
