About The Mind-Reading "Tyrant": When Ministers Tremble
After lightning implants a 21st-century livestreamer’s soul into Emperor Xiao Da of Great Qian, the ""incompetent"" ruler awakens terrifying mind-reading powers. Trapped in a court controlled by scheming ministers, rebellious lords, and foreign invaders, Xiao Da masterfully plays the debauched tyrant. Behind this facade, he uses his abilities to uncover conspiracies, strategically selects concubines to secure loyal factions, commands imperial guards, establishes a secret police force (Western Depot), revolutionizes finance through trade and mercenary systems, and develops devastating weapons. While feigning recklessness, he shatters alliances of corrupt officials, crushes invading armies, and unifies imperial authority. This cunning ruler ultimately leads Great Qian to unprecedented strength—proving that even history’s darkest pawn can become its most formidable king.
