Being Emperor Isn't Easy, So I'll Have to Rely on a Cheat Code

Zhang Jingwei, a standard-issue twenty-first-century corporate drone, eats poisonous wild mushrooms and transmigrates to a fictional era.

The moment he arrives in this new world, he crawls out of a coffin. He can't accept that he's transmigrated, much less that he's become a live-in son-in-law who gets beaten up by his domineering wife.

As a corporate drone, he naturally can't fight, and there's no way he's going to invent firearms.

So what if he finds oil?

A steam engine? Not a chance.

The people here are all so nice, and every one of them is a real talent.

He can't be emperor, either, so he'll just have to rely on a top-tier stand-in to get by.
