Gu Zhao, the son of the Zhenbei Prince who was executed along with his entire family in his previous life, is reborn at 15 and vows to become a tyrant who controls everything and crushes his enemies. But just as he’s about to take revenge on the Ministry of Revenue侍郎 who framed him, he’s bound to a "National Pillar System"—doing evil causes unbearable headaches, while doing good unlocks military power and wisdom he never had before. Even more unexpectedly, Shen Zhixia, the princess of the enemy state who wanted him dead in his past life, now shows up with military books, helping him build waterworks and free schools, and smiles: "You look better when you give porridge to refugees than when you act tough." Gu Zhao curses the system while watching more and more people hold signs calling him "Living Bodhisattva Gu"—suddenly, he realizes being a national hero is more thrilling than being a tyrant?
