After Binding the Tyrant Gacha System, I Became an Enlightened Monarch [Kingdom Building]

Synopsis: In his previous life, Yan Xuanyu died from illness. When he opened his eyes again, he had become the frail new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the original host's memories, after ascending the throne, the original host indulged in pleasure and ruled incompetently. At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was already showing signs of decline, and due to the previous emperor's inaction, the national treasury was empty and deep-seated problems had accumulated.

Yan Xuanyu looked at the world that would soon fall into war more than ten years later, and a smile curled on his lips.

This is rather interesting.

The transmigrated Yan Xuanyu also brought with him a Tyrant's Pleasure Gacha System. By completing the system's tyrant missions, he could draw rewards.

"Ding, mission 'The Emperor Does Not Hold Morning Court' completed, rewarded with 7 points."

"Ding, successfully confiscated the property and exiled two ministers, rewarded with 20 points."

"Ding, 'Indulgence in Pleasure (Beginner)' achievement unlocked, rewarded with 20 points."

"Ding, 'Wasteful of Manpower and Resources (Beginner)' achievement unlocked, rewarded with 50 points."

...

After a series of fierce actions, the cards he drew were...

"Congratulations, Host, you have drawn an R card: Dragon x Tiger's Ferocity. Description: After using this card, physical fitness increases by 150% (for 30 seconds only)."

Yan Xuanyu: It's... alright, I guess.

"Congratulations, Host, you have drawn an S card: Stargazing Tower. Description: A Stargazing Tower built by a tyrant for his beloved concubine, where banquets are held and pleasures are sought with the concubine."

"Congratulations, Host, you have drawn an S card: ..."

The "Annals of Emperor Yan" states:

"Less than a year after the Emperor ascended the throne, the Southern Envoy presented treasures. In truth, hearing of the Emperor's frailty, he sent assassins to stab the Emperor. The Son of Heaven, sword in hand, declared: 'Though my foundation is unstable, those who wish to seize my dragon throne are not worth considering.' He then personally slew the assassin in the hall. All were astonished, bowing and shouting, 'Long live the Emperor!'"

Regarding this matter, Yan Xuanyu merely wanted to spread his hands and say, "It's true you want to take my life while I'm sick, but unfortunately, I have [Dragon x Tiger's Ferocity] in my hand."

Before Emperor Yan of Zhou, various aristocratic families treasured books for posterity. After Emperor Yan issued a decree, these families donated books to the Stargazing Tower, hoping to have their names inscribed on the Monument of Merit in front of the tower.

The Stargazing Tower in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty became the most coveted place for scholars throughout the land, as it collected books from all over the world and was open to all scholars.

The top scholar personally selected by His Majesty could ascend to the top of the Stargazing Tower to receive honors.

Yan Xuanyu: This is the correct way to use the Stargazing Tower.

While drawing cards, Yan Xuanyu simultaneously punished corrupt officials, rectified societal customs, established academies, promoted agriculture, introduced new crops, strengthened the military...

Initially, the Zhou Dynasty was located in the Central Plains, with the Tujue in the north and the Rongdi in the west eyeing it greedily, eager to carve out a share.

Later, everyone watched as the Great Zhou grew increasingly prosperous, kicking the Tujue, punching the Rongdi, its national treasury overflowing, its people wealthy, and Emperor Yan of Zhou personally created a golden age surpassing the Zhou Dynasty and all previous dynasties.

The system pondered: The Host has become an enlightened monarch. Is this a stain on my existence as a system, or an upgrade?
