The Emperor's Awakening

A modern office worker is unexpectedly reborn as Li Yan, the emperor of the Great Xia dynasty, only to discover that his predecessor was a simp for the empress Wei Yun, leaving the dynasty on the verge of collapse. He awakens, ruthlessly deals with the arrogant maids, confronts Wei Yun, and purges her faction. He appoints loyal minister Han Shizhong, recruits talents, invents weapons like repeating crossbows and cannons, defeats Wei's million-strong army, captures the Wei emperor, and exposes the queen dowager's forged edict, solidifying his rule. Thus, the former simp emperor transforms into an iron-fisted ruler on a path to unify the land.
