Reborn in the Ming Dynasty, Becoming Emperor Is Hard

Mandated by Heaven, may he live long and prosper.

If you had the chance to become emperor, what could you make of it?

Li Yi, a clueless office worker, stayed up late binge-watching Ming Dynasty dramas after working overtime, only to unexpectedly transmigrate into the body of Zhu Yunwen, the Ming Dynasty's imperial grandson.

He had hoped to be a peaceful, carefree emperor, but his abilities wouldn't allow it.

Traditional characters? Can't read them!

Classical Chinese? What does that mean?

I have to get up at five every morning.

At this rate, I'll work myself to death before long.

The northern tribes are rebelling.

Who should I send to fight them?

And there's a whole bunch of corrupt officials.

How am I supposed to deal with you?

My fourth uncle wants to kill me, too.

Being emperor is so hard.

Uncle, how about I just give you the throne?

See how the clueless Emperor Li Yi makes his mark on history!
