Nine Empresses Marry Another, I Slaughter the Court

Just after transmigrating into the body of a puppet emperor, Ye Wudao is hit with nine enormous humiliations at once—all nine of his empresses are marrying other men on the same day. With nine cuckold's crowns forced upon him from the very start, tolerance is simply not an option. He immediately orders the adulterers dragged away and fed to the dogs. When accusations of tyranny fly, he retorts that favoring his own empresses is no crime at all. But the court officials warn him that as a powerless figurehead, crossing the line means utter ruin. Ye Wudao answers with a cold laugh: even a puppet emperor can carve a bloody path through his enemies. When the civil and military ministers stage a court confrontation and demand to know why he would "rebel" against his own throne, his response is swift and ruthless—he is in too good a mood to argue with anyone, so he simply orders them all beheaded.
