To Survive, I Must Steal the Kingdom

Thrust into the eighth year of Tianfu in the crumbling Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Yu faces a brutal reality: warring states, ruthless warlords, and a starving populace on the brink of rebellion. With no golden finger or system to rely on, survival means seizing power with his own hands. He dismantles corrupt noble families, crushes local tyrants, forges a revolutionary army, and rewrites the laws of the land. From the ashes of chaos, Su Yu will climb to the throne—not through destiny, but through cunning, strategy, and sheer will. A hard-won empire awaits.
