Also known as: “This Useless Emperor Won by Lying Flat”

One morning, she woke up to find herself turned into the puppet emperor of a war-for-supremacy story, surrounded by ambitious armies all eager to seize her as a tool to command lords in the name of the Son of Heaven.

She made a decisive choice—to follow the Wei faction. Why not side with the protagonist, you ask? Because the protagonist was a ruthless schemer, the kind of man who’d rather betray the world than be betrayed by it. Following him meant she might not last a few days before being sent to the afterlife with a cup of poisoned wine.

Though the Wei clan never unified the world, they endured the longest. Even the protagonist was forced to drag out a war of attrition against them until they finally collapsed. By her calculation, Wei Ying—the most formidable master of the Wei clan—lived to the age of eighty. Only upon his death could the protagonist finally achieve unification.

If she chose Wei, she could live to eighty as well. Just right. No need to die early.

What better choice could there be? Who would complain about gaining an extra eighty years of life?

So, without hesitation, she followed the Wei clan’s masked woman, the one who wore a fearsome ghost-faced mask.

Unexpectedly, the other factions refused to accept it unless she showed that it was her own voluntary choice. They pressured her to make her stance clear to the Wei woman.

So, Tian Tangjing leaned over and smacked a kiss onto the woman’s cheek, drawing astonished gazes all around.

She kissed without the slightest burden, completely ignoring the way the Wei woman’s cold gaze grew increasingly complicated. From then on, she had secured herself a long-term meal ticket: for eighty years, she could lie flat as a useless emperor, never lacking food or drink, enjoying safety under the close protection of another.

Until her wedding night, when she discovered that the woman she had married was none other than Wei Ying herself.

Wei Ying—the very same iron-blooded general who could kill without batting an eye, who had guarded Shanhaiguan, developed the Far East, and shattered the Donghu tribes.

Tian Tangjing: Is it still too late to pack up and run?

At that moment, Wei Ying pressed close with forceful intent:

“Your Majesty kissed this minister’s daughter. Surely you mean to take lifelong responsibility?”

Tian Tangjing shrank her neck: Weakly asks—if I refuse?

Wei Ying sneered:

“Then your bones will be ground to dust—and scattered together with mine.”

Tian Tangjing: !!!

But who could have expected that their days together would grow more and more flavorful, surprisingly harmonious—if a little too intense.

The very protagonists who were supposed to seize the world ended up turned by her wife into her own right-hand men. They abandoned the struggle for the throne, competing instead to help her govern the realm.

Years later, Tian Tangjing stood atop the Star-Picking Tower, overlooking the vast empire, unable to resist sighing:

“When it comes to the strongest person at living off their partner, none can compare to me.”

“Your Majesty, still want some peaches?” Wei Ying reclined lazily on the beauty’s couch, gazing at her.

Tian Tangjing: “Mash it into peach pulp for me. I only love the soft kind!”

Ordinary useless emperor × Earth-shaking goddess-general

Theme: Blooming and bearing fruit even in adversity.

Myths shatter, secret realms emerge; vast fantasies descend into reality.

This is an era where cards rule everything.

Aki, carrying a treasure trove of myths from across global civilizations, merges with his parallel self, traveling to this lost planet and forging his own deck for the Age of Gods.

[Saint Joan of Arc] (Purple ✩✩✩✩) + "Savior Ideal" concept sublimated → [Agent of World Redemption] (Sky Silver with Purple ✩✩✩✩✩✩)

[God King Zeus] (Red ✩✩) + "Mystical Fusion" concept infused → [Immortal God King of All Knowledge, All Power, All Seeing, and All Hearing] (Eternal Gold with Red ✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩)

[Longomyniad, Spear of Tyranny] (Orange ✩✩✩) + "Container of Humanity"

concept fusion → [Goddess of the Spear] (Orange ✩✩✩✩✩✩)

...

Many mythical figures descended into reality, and stories of the past once again shone in the human sky.

Over that millennium, alienated monsters transformed into false new gods, plunging civilization into madness and chaos.

At this moment of collapse, countless cards were thrown by a hand, turning into an immortal story book.

[Myths of all generations] + [History of civilization] = [Future of all mankind]

This was an unprecedentedly powerful empire with a vast territory and millions of soldiers.

This was another extremely weak empire. Chen Sheng led 900 people in an uprising, and within half a year, the army grew to a million people and almost broke through the city of Xianyang.

Liu Bang led a few hundred people in an uprising, and in half a year he developed an army of tens of thousands.

Xiang Liang led 8,000 soldiers in an uprising, and within half a year he developed an army of over 100,000.

Even though the Qin Empire still had an army of millions, it could not stop the demise of the empire.

This was an empire where everyone from the nobles to the common people, his enemies and his bureaucrats wanted to destroy his empire.

The reason why the newly established Han Dynasty annexed one in fifteen and one in thirty was not because Liu Bang was more merciful than the First Emperor, but because Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had been there.

The Glorious Dynasty is a sequel to The Rogue Landlord.

After over four hundred years of prosperity under the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu royal family stood at the pinnacle of the world, enjoying unparalleled supreme authority and glory.

However, in this era, the gravely ill Emperor Zhu Weiqiang unexpectedly discovered signs of movement in the royal tomb—

The long-dead Holy One, dormant for over three hundred years, has returned to life!

Xu ping, having reincarnated, is unsure of where to go and ultimately chooses to return to Ghost Valley Mountain.

There, the rock-dwelling ghost faces great troubles and must engage in conflict with the world’s powers in his role as a state priest.

Though Xu ping remains loyal to the royal family, he doesn’t know how to respond to the dramatic changes ahead...

[Imaginary alien continent + no magic and martial arts + emperor + farming + no system + hegemony + power struggle + slow start]

Lynn, a staff officer from a modern military academy, accidentally traveled to the continent of Lafablanca and became the son of a duke of the Kingdom of Clan.

With modern military thinking and tactical concepts that are ahead of his time, Lin En built a legendary army that is invincible on the continent.

At the age of fourteen, he inherited the title of Duke and immediately raised an army to begin his journey to conquer the continent.

The Silver Eagle flag swept across the continent like a hurricane, and the warship's gunfire illuminated the entire Storm Sea...

At the age of twenty, Lynn's cavalry crushed the last imperial flag, and the coronation bell rang throughout the newborn "Silver Empire".

Lin En was officially crowned emperor, becoming the first emperor of a unified empire in the history of the continent.

He thus completed his magnificent transformation from the son of a duke to the emperor of the empire.

However, at the celebration banquet, Lin En learned that on the other side of the Storm Sea, there was an even more mysterious continent waiting for him to conquer...

[Power Struggles + Heavenly Screen + History + Ensemble Cast + Single Female Lead + Palace Intrigue + Not a Brain-Dead Power Fantasy]

After waking up, he finds himself transmigrated into the most insignificant, useless prince, sent off at the start to the desolate northern frontier to await death?

Xiao Chen says: Don’t panic, just basics—let me first lie low for three years!

Who would have thought that the [History Livestream Room] would descend from the heavens!

“The Great Yong Dynasty: The Emperor’s Chapter” begins broadcasting live, leaving the current emperor, crown prince, and powerful ministers utterly dumbfounded!

“What? The diligent and hardworking Father Emperor ends up dying in regret?”

“The perfect crown prince is actually the tyrannical heir of the last days, bringing disaster with witchcraft scandals?”

“The war god Third Brother—after ascending the throne, the dynasty collapses even faster?”

As palace secrets and the dynasty’s future are exposed one by one, the imperial court explodes!

The most powerful martial spirit in history, earthquakes, torrents, storms, plagues, beast tides, meteorites, tsunamis... all are the power of natural disasters! "I am the natural disaster!" Su Mo's powerful rise eclipsed the Shrek Seven Devils, made the Spirit Hall's golden generation a laughing stock, and made the entire continent tremble. Even the God of Destruction sent Su Mo to a divine test. "Wasn't it a divine test of destruction? Why are you asking me to search for the successor of the Goddess of Life?" "Even Ye Lingling can't do it? What about Ah Yin?" ...

Chu Yue became the ruler of a nation and was bound to the “Foolish Emperor System.”

Ding—Please cause the fall of the Great Li Dynasty. Once it is destroyed, the host will be freed from the Foolish Emperor identity and can embark on a happy life at the peak of success.

Chu Yue issued a foolish decree:

“Dig a grand canal, build my imperial mausoleum! Conscripting one hundred thousand people! No pay, no food!”

The officials wept bitterly:

“O foolish emperor! The purple clouds fade in the west, the empire shall fall.”

But one day, one hundred and fifty thousand commoners came of their own accord, bringing pots and grain, insisting on helping dig the canal. Leading them was none other than the current Grand Chancellor Yang.

Never mind, keep seeking death—burn the books and bury the scholars. Accidentally started an early system of reading classifications. Killed loyal ministers, but the “loyal” ones turned out to be traitors. Killed traitors, but the traitors turned out to be double agents, and afterwards even brought tens of thousands of remnants of the previous dynasty over to surrender. Behind it all was that same Grand Chancellor Yang.

Chu Yue gave up in frustration:

“There’s no other way, I’ll just confess everything. In truth, I am a woman.”

The officials:

“Long live the Empress! 【What new stunt is this Foolish Emperor trying to pull now】”

Chu Yue:

“Actually, I think Grand Chancellor Yang, being a woman, is not suitable to serve as head of all officials.”

The officials:

“Your Majesty speaks wisely. 【This little brat must be thinking about Lord Yang】”

Chu Yue:

“What does Grand Chancellor Yang think?”

Grand Chancellor Yang, resigned, bowed properly:

“This humble official has indeed reached the age of marriage. May I ask when Your Majesty intends to bring me into the palace?”

Chu Yue’s face: ?????

She had clearly been working diligently to ruin the dynasty, yet somehow the realm remained prosperous and the people well off.
