"In grace and charm, Nuwa's form so fair,
If clay could breathe, a maiden rare,
To Chang Le's palace, my heart laid bare,
I'd take her, serve, beyond compare."
Have I truly traversed to the waning era of the Shang Dynasty?
And am I, in fact, the very inept and despotic Emperor Di Xin ?
Label me licentious? I shall endure!
Accuse me of an alcohol addict? I shall also endure!
Brand me as a dumb ruler? Absolutely not!
I shall rally the Dragon Clan against calamity, rebel the Heavenly Court, upholding the sovereign authority of the Human Emperor!
I shall replenish the national treasury, fostering education and winning the hearts of the people, restoring the grandeur of Great Shang!
Whether it is the Western Powers, the Heavenly Court, or the Chan Religion,  I shall not yield.
Whether it is the Human race, the Divine race, and the Demonic race, I shall command them all!
For I am Emperor Di Xin of the Humans! The first sage monarch in history!

My Reign as a Fatuous Monarch in the Shang Dynasty

Di Xin had decided that, in order to ensure the safety of the Shang and his own well-being, he would confine the leaders of the vassals in the capital of Zhao Ge. This would restrain their minions from making any reckless moves.


Once the Order to Expand Favors gained traction, he planned to let the vassals' eldest sons experience prosperity and then release these vassals.


By then, these vassals would surely refrain from acting rashly, as they had to consider the future of their own sons and comply obediently.


Particularly intriguing was Ji Chang, also known as Bai Zi.


Once the Order to Expand Favors was enacted, Di Xin looked forward to seeing him in a tight spot, hehe.


Ji Fa was quite formidable, proud, and arrogant, making it impossible for Boyi Kao to peacefully inherit the position of the Western Marquis under normal plot development.
