Soul Swap: The Tyrant Emperor

Yang Guang opens his eyes and finds himself transmigrated into the Sui Emperor Yang, the tyrant of history books who killed his father, bullied his mother, and exhausted the military. The civil and military officials all look at him as if waiting for him to show weakness and admit defeat. But a scroll of history that turns its own pages appears in his mind. Who is loyal and who is treacherous, who will take the world in the future—the endings are written clearly: Su Wei is dismissed, Yang Liang's rebellion fails, Li Yuan usurps the Sui. At the court session, before the ministers can make their move, he first reads an edict of self-blame, leaving the old minister Su Wei speechless; Cui Hong's selfish motives are exposed in public, and he kneels to confess. Prince Han Yang Liang suspects and raises troops. He smilingly summons Li Shimin to the palace as a study companion—the future Tang Taizong becomes a hostage under his nose. Checking fields and auditing accounts, reporting maritime transport, opening the canal, forging modao blades—others rely on slaughter to establish authority, but he relies on open stratagems to build the nation. History is written by the victors. In this life, he bears the infamy of a tyrant, but he also establishes the achievements of a golden age. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Soul Swap: The Tyrant Emperor — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
