Investiture of the Gods: I Just Want to Be a Terrible Emperor!

[The pioneering novel of the incompetent-ruler genre-a historical xianxia grounded in the original Investiture of the Gods. Takes off from Chapter 31!]

All I wanted was to be a terrible ruler. Instead, I became the greatest emperor of all time.

Several professors from Tsinghua and Peking University have conducted in-depth analyses of the life of the First Emperor of Shang.

Originally known as King Zhou, his clan name was Zi and his given name was Shou. His achievements surpassed those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and he was the first monarch in Chinese history to adopt the title of "Emperor."

The First Emperor of Shang established the fundamental framework of China's political system for more than two thousand years.

However, historical records offer few details about his life. A novelist once filled in the gaps with a work called Investiture of the Gods, recounting how the First Emperor quelled rebellions.

The First Emperor restored order to the realm, while Shen Gongbao invested the gods, ensuring that both the living and the dead who had served the nation received their rightful places.

The First Emperor of Shang is regarded as the greatest emperor of all time.

Even on his deathbed, Zi Shou still had no idea how things had turned out this way.
