I Just Want to Lie Flat and Enjoy the Little Things, but You Force Me to Be Emperor!

Zhu Zhao has entered society and chosen the simple pleasures of lying flat. By a miracle, during a massive explosion, he transmigrates to the fourth year of the Jianwen era of the Ming dynasty, bringing potatoes, corn, and chili peppers with him.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Zhu Zhao has no grand ambitions, much less the self-awareness of a transmigrator.

Just as Zhu Zhao is planning to start a small business, make some money, and buy land, while asking his savior, Old Man Liu, to find him a match: a pretty, well-mannered young Ming girl who follows the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, so he can live a quiet, pleasant little life once the imperial succession struggle between the Zhu uncles and nephews is over...

The Imperial Guards burst through the door: "You're under arrest!"

In a daze, Zhu Zhao finds himself face-to-face with the Jianwen Emperor, Zhu Yunwen.

To his shock...

He and Zhu Yunwen look exactly alike!

During a great fire, Zhu Yunwen fakes his death and escapes with his mother, wives, concubines, and children. Mistaken for Zhu Yunwen by treacherous ministers, Zhu Zhao is pushed onto the throne, with his head on the line.

At this moment, Zhu Di's Jingnan army is watering its horses in the Yangtze, with only one river separating it from the throne beneath Zhu Zhao.

Zhu Zhao: "Zhu Yunwen, you're more shameless than anyone alive! Damn it, just you wait. You'll regret this!"
