Emperor Yuanshun (元顺帝孛爾孛) was the eleventh emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the fifteenth Great Khan of the Great Mongol State. He was also the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty as a unified national power. The eldest son of Emperor Yuanmingzong and the eldest brother of Emperor Yuanningzong. The birth mother was Melaidi.

Born on April 17, 1320 in the Chagatai Khanate, Emperor Yuan returned to the Yuan Dynasty in the second year of the Celestial Calendar (1329), and soon after Emperor Mingzong died violently, Emperor Yuanwenzong succeeded to the throne and exiled Tuoba Timur to Goryeo daqing and Jingjiang (present-day Guilin), Guangxi. After Emperor Wenzong of Yuan and Emperor Wenzong of Yuanning died one after another, Emperor Tuoba Timur was ordered to return by order of Empress Dowager Bu, and was located in Shangdu on June 8, 1333, the fourth year of Shun.

In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1340), Tuoba Timur overthrew the powerful minister Boyan and pro-government. In the early days of pro-government, he was diligent in government affairs, appointed People from Detachment, and adopted a series of reform measures to save the yuan dynasty's ruling crisis, known in history as the "Zhizheng New Deal", including the promulgation of the code "Zhizheng Tiaoge" to improve the legal system; the promulgation of the Law on Recommending and Abiding Orders to strengthen integrity; and the order to recommend Yi Hermits to select talents. However, it failed to fundamentally solve the long-standing social problems, and in the eleventh year of Zhizheng (1351), a peasant revolt broke out at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In the later period, it gradually slackened the government, indulged in pleasures, the Yuan court continued to fight among the people, and the external people rebelled, unable to effectively control the political situation. In the leap July of the 28th year of Zheng (1368), the Ming army attacked Dadu, Tuoba Timur fled, the Mongols withdrew from the Central Plains, and the Yuan Dynasty's rule over the whole country ended.
