(Decisive and ruthless, villain protagonist, dark style, behind-the-scenes manipulation, group portrait) Gu Feng, a college student who likes the Total War series and Mount & Blade, woke up and traveled through time to become the puppet emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Prime Minister controls the government, the Queen Mother rules the harem from behind the scenes, all the concubines have ulterior motives, and the aristocratic families treat him as a puppet.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the [Emperor's Rise System]. One point per second. Time is power!"

From then on, Gu Feng embarked on a bloody road of revenge.

When those who had mocked and plotted against him knelt before him and begged for mercy, Gu Feng sneered: "Since you only want a puppet, then I will show you how sharp the puppet emperor's fangs are!"

Step by step, from puppet to overlord, from being controlled by others to ruling the world. Let's see how Gu Feng uses cold tactics and amazing scheming to build an unprecedented iron-blooded empire in this low-level martial arts world!

The most mysterious existence among the forty-one supreme beings.

He was the first person outside of the Nine to join the guild, and the first to quit the guild during the wave of quits. Now, he was the last one to return to the guild before the server shutdown.

From then on, the world had one more businessman.

"Merchant? What do you sell?"

"I only sell one thing, and that's miracles."

The people with red eyes reappear in the world, the people with onion eyes regulate the war between major powers, and miracles with clear prices come one after another, making the world colorful.

The Dragon King who guards the world feels something is wrong, and the aftershocks of a hundred years seem to be coming again.

The people with the sharpest sense of smell in the world are businessmen.

So the next day, the Dragon King saw a guy who claimed to be selling miracles standing in front of his door.

"Hello, the Dragon Clan Revitalization Miracle Gift Pack is priced at 698 for a limited time. Would you like to consider it?"

The Tang Dynasty failed to mend the sky, and demons were everywhere, and ghosts coveted it.

The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism inherited the ancient immortal tradition, and refined instruments with bamboo, tea, silk, salt, rice, and porcelain to suppress ghosts and lock the underworld.

Wu Qi used the map of impermanence to contain hundreds of ghosts, and used incense to support the exiled immortals.

The thirty-six heavenly kings, the seventy-two earthly soldiers, ghosts, monsters, and demons are all included in my map.

It does not torture the owner, so feel free to watch.

…

Once he arrived in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, he became the Golden Bean - Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu, who was currently starting a rebellion. Zhu Gaoxu said that it was not difficult to stay in the capital at all.

All the civil and military officials in the court were followers of the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi. Thinking of Zhu Di's use of him, the eldest brother Zhu Gaochi was eyeing him covetously and setting traps for him step by step. The third brother Zhu Gaosui was also playing tricks on him.

Rather than being bound in the end, it is better to flee far away. Zhu Gaoxu decided that he would go to be a vassal! Go to be a vassal overseas!

There is no way out in the Ming Dynasty, so go out and build an empire yourself!

Many years later, everyone looked at Zhu Gaoxu's fiefdom and fell into deep thought.

"How come the Han King's fiefdom is stronger and larger than the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Di looked at this scene with his eyes shining, and came to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Second brother, let me ask you a favor..."

I'm a bit confused. I just went on a budget trip, how did I become a fool for no reason? Well! Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. At least I don't have to worry about eating bread every day. Although this era is materially scarce, the people of this era are simple and kind! The happiness index of life is high! ~Okay! Except for this man-eating courtyard and the beasts living in this courtyard~

She’s bound to a poison arts system—if she wants to keep living, she has to keep poisoning people to exchange for life force.

Xu Lianqiao: “What am I supposed to do, living every day with the system constantly urging me to kill?”

Everything had been going smoothly—until she ran into a young divine doctor fresh out of Butterfly Valley: Feng Yuchen.

After failing for the 108th time, Xu Lianqiao glared angrily: “Spare me just once so I can poison someone, please?”

Feng Yuchen smiled gently, her eyes curved like a crescent moon, as she applied a silver needle: “No. I cure all illnesses, and I’ll treat you just the same.”

“Don’t believe me? Try for a lifetime.”

Xu Lianqiao: …

I harm people, you save people. Together we cancel each other out. Yin and yang in harmony, opposites attract, and Heaven rewards hard work.
