All I Want Is to Die, So Why Is Old Zhu Begging Me to Be His Imperial Advisor?

After dying nine times, Chen Ke only needs to die once more to return to the modern world. So he starts slacking off...

He plans to lie low and join the Lantian faction at the last minute, and has already bribed a certain steward in Lan Yu's household.

Convinced his grand plan is on track, Chen Ke opens a private school in the village to amuse himself. But things gradually start to feel off...

Why does the wealthy landlord, who comes to every class, love listening to materialist political economy so much?

Why does the middle-aged, chubby man who drops in from time to time always beat his son while listening?

And why does that burly-looking warrior keep giving him such a strange look?

At last, news arrives from the court: Zhu Biao is still alive, but Lan Yu is going to die!

As Chen Ke happily packs his things, ready to join Lan Yu, the old man who's been attending his lessons suddenly stands up.

"Sir, I, Old Zhu, want to make you Imperial Preceptor. Any objections?"

The burly man also stands up and wipes his face. "Mr. Chen, I've been meaning to say this for ages. I, Lan Yu, wouldn't dare compete with the old man for you!"
