Reborn to Lie Flat, the Empress Urges Me to Get a Grip!

Zhou Cheng has lived two lives. In his first, he spent half his life laboring for the court, only to be killed by the new emperor. In this life, he’s grown tired of court intrigue and wants nothing more than to live peacefully off the princess and enjoy a simple life, but…

“Husband, take that city for me!”

“My dear subject, I want it too!”

“My lord, I want it as well!”

“Prince Consort, look at me…”

Fine. For the sake of giving every woman in the realm a home, Zhou Cheng decides to stop keeping a low profile.

So Zhou Cheng establishes an official-selection system, battles ruthless power ministers, takes up arms, and expands the realm… “How can we find a home with a thousand spacious rooms, to shelter all the poor scholars under heaven and make them rejoice?”

The female emperor cries, “Zhou Cheng, what are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?”

Zhou Cheng replies, “Your Majesty, you’ve got it wrong. I just think you smell wonderful.”
