You donate a sizable chunk of funds to the Temple. The high monks are overjoyed by your generosity and invite you to the nearest monastery for a lavish conversion ceremony. Facing a bronze idol of Buddha and lit red candles, you chant newly learned Buddhist hymns alongside monks in saffron colored robes. The monks compliment your devotion and spread word of your piousness far and wide.

Your standing among foreign citizens does improve, but the state of your sovereignty remains too volatile for immigration to your kingdom. They remain subjects of other warlords.

In the meantime, your relationship with domestic tradesmen worsens. Disappointed by your stingy ways, your Workers followed through on their threats of mass desertions while you visited the Buddhist monks. Professionals leave your fallow kingdom for greener pastures. This brain drain leads to inefficiency throughout your kingdom. Your castle falls into disrepair, military supplies dwindle, and rations become scarce.

Upon returning from the monastery, you learn that General Nahru had conquered all of northern China and, upon hearing of your domestic turmoil, decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to dispose of you. He begins to accumulate troops along your northern border.

You regret ignoring your skilled tradesmen's demands. You quickly enact labor reforms for professionals- raising wages, increasing vacation time, and even offering free education for their children.

Your attempt at restoring your workforce comes a bit late. A week later, when General Nahru marches one million troops to your castle, many government posts remain unmanned. Unlike President Min, General Nahru's army is sophisticated and well trained. They surround your castle and break through your depleted defenses. Your lines are pushed back towards your keep.

Soon, you hear metallic sounds and shouts outside your inner sanctum. While you weigh your options, fire suddenly engulfs your compound. You immediately try to escape but fail. No one can hear your cries as you are burned alive.
