The Emperor System arrives for everyone from the start, and the protagonist unexpectedly draws the [Tyrannical] trait, leaving him no choice but to become a tyrant.
The court officials are all cowering in fear.
Chen Mu: “Don’t be afraid of me. It’s not like I’m some kind of monster.”
Assassination attempts come one after another, and he is surrounded on all sides.
Chen Mu: “Wei Zhongxian, Yu Huatian, I’m counting on you!”
A rebellion breaks out, and enemy forces close in.
Chen Mu: “Don’t attack the city! There are civilians on the walls!”
The Great Yan aristocratic clans: “Your Majesty, please don’t wipe out our whole family! The Chen family is willing to offer Chen Yuanyuan as a consort!”
Bao Zheng: “Brother Chen, the realm is in chaos, and it’s all that damned emperor’s fault!”
The Heaven and Earth Society: “We ask you to become our Chief Helmsman, Brother Chen, and lead us in overthrowing the damned emperor!”
Other players: “Who is the number one player on the Golden Rankings? What a pain!”
Dong Zhuo: “Stop stripping the fiefs! If you keep it up, I’ll be left with no one under my command!”

Suddenly, he gets the feeling that something about his court... isn’t quite right.
