The Tyrant Comes: Cleaning Up the Court on Day One

share time: 2026-01-03 06:01:50

Lin Shen, a modern corporate slave, wakes up as the infamous tyrant of the Great Ning Dynasty. On his first day in court, he abandons the original tyrant’s debauchery—publicly arresting the prime minister who embezzled millions and exiling the sycophantic official to guard the imperial mausoleum. But no one in the court believes he’s “reformed”: powerful ministers collude to force him off the throne, the Empress Dowager sends maids to test if he’s “possessed,” and even the tyrant’s favorite concubine is a spy from an enemy state watching for his mistakes. Using modern “workplace cleanup” tactics to stand up to these old foxes, Lin Shen hides his time-travel identity while dealing with layers of danger. Is this “tyrant turning virtuous” his chance to turn things around, or a trap that will destroy him?
