I Just Want to Fish in Peace

On the morning of his 10,000th late arrival, overworked office drone Li Goudan steps in dog poop, gets into a car accident, and is struck by lightning. When he wakes up, he has become the emperor of the Great Qing during the Qianlong reign!

He thinks he can finally enjoy a life above everyone else, but beneath the seemingly prosperous golden age, one morning he suddenly remembers everything from his history textbooks! Wait, this point in time, this dynasty… The end of a golden age is the beginning of its decline?!

Looking at pampered court officials, a harem that spends money like water, and the great powers across the ocean eyeing the country hungrily, Li Goudan falls into deep thought: Urgent question! How can he keep the nation from declining after reaching its peak?

See how a modern office drone uses his workplace experience to outwit his rivals and kick off a hilarious journey to make the nation strong in this seemingly prosperous era! The harem becomes a school, eunuchs take up technology, and the Qianlong reign is a little different…

P.S. This book absolutely avoids clichés and takes place in a real alternate history.
