The Han Dynasty’s King of Easy Wins: Getting Stronger with Every Breath

Reincarnated as a death-row prisoner awaiting execution? Xiao Yao snores so loudly on the execution grounds that the whole place shakes. He gets the sign-in reward [Tortoise-Breathing Feigned Death Technique]. When the executioner's blade bends on him, even the stunned Imperial Commandant Zhang Tang mistakes him for an auspicious omen and recruits him as a covert agent in embroidered robes! Bound to the [Carefree Path System], he embarks on the most absurd rise to power in history. Guided by his “three principles” (never take the initiative, never work overtime, never take the blame), Xiao “Slacker” Yao sends the Han dynasty’s style completely off the rails. The villain Zhongli’s ingenious killing plots? Xiao Yao foils them while asleep. Every breath is cultivation: his inner strength grows as he lies flat, and drinking doubles his progress! Shackles in the imperial prison shatter with a shake? Just basic stuff, no need to make a fuss! He teases the God of War Huo Qubing, and together they compose “The Ballad of Lying Flat”; He gives Emperor Wu of Han A Guide to Health and Wellness Through Lying Flat, then plays shuttlecock at the imperial banquet as if performing a Hu Xuan dance; He feigns death on the battlefield and nabs the Chanyu’s Golden Wolf Banner, then gets drunk, falls off a cliff, and lands precisely on the enemy’s supply depot, earning himself a thousand-man commander’s rank for free; He treats arrow wounds by transferring the pain? Huo Qubing feels nothing, while the Northern Desert Chanyu’s arm swells up like a pillar! A plague to cure? The villain Zhongli breaks out in boils and leaps into Taiye Pool, exposing his own crimes as he blows up! Sign-in rewards grant divine abilities: he gets The Son of Heaven’s Swordsmanship at Weiyang Palace, a map of the terrain at the Xiongnu royal court, and a visit to a brothel somehow earns him a deadly flying knife technique disguised as a Hu girl’s dance! Passive protection: An impeachment comes his way? He automatically masters “sophistry” and talks his way out of it! An assassin strikes? He slips away with “Lingbo Weibu”! Only after realizing that the System is the “Great Way of Nonaction” left behind by Laozi does he understand: “Lying flat isn’t shirking your duty. Guarding your heart is the path.” After completing his mission, he refuses a noble title and heads west to sell kebabs! Yet whenever the Han dynasty faces a crisis, an anonymous note smelling of cumin always finds its way to Weiyang Palace. That’s right, Boss Xiao is writing it while grilling camel meat. See how one slacker uses snores, booze, and outrageous antics to earn merit while lying flat, and rewrite history in Emperor Wu’s court and on the battlefield against the Xiongnu! With every breath, the mighty Han has me!
