In his previous life, office drone Lin An worked 996 hours and died suddenly. He transmigrates to the Great Xia Dynasty as an obscure Hanlin Academy compiler. His only wish is to “leave work on time and retire in one piece.” Then the [Die If You Don’t Court Death System] descends and forcibly binds itself to him. The System has only one goal: start a war between Great Xia and its neighbor, Northern Yan! Complete the final mission and gain absolute freedom; fail, and you’ll be erased on the spot.
Just as Lin An falls into despair, an imperial decree arrives. The exceptionally talented emperor really does send him, “the biggest coward in the capital,” on a diplomatic mission to Northern Yan. Lin An has no idea that his essay, “Eighteen Reasons Northern Yan Is Bound to Lose,” written just to slack off, has already been adopted by the emperor as the master plan for the war. Lin An is the emperor’s most deeply concealed, sharpest blade!
And so, the most miserable and nerve-racked envoy in history is born.
At a state banquet in Northern Yan, he drinks poisoned wine with tears in his eyes, hoping to get himself killed quickly. Instead, he accidentally cures the emperor’s chronic illness and is hailed as “a living miracle doctor”!
When an enemy general provokes him, he charges forward with his eyes shut, hoping to be killed. Instead, he happens upon the core of the enemy army’s formation and is hailed as “the God of War incarnate”!
Every nerve-racking attempt to court death turns into an unfathomable masterstroke, thanks to the wild imaginings of his enemies and companions.
Lin An: “I really just want to die quickly and painlessly!”
The Northern Yan court: “No! That’s not all you want! Look at that compassionate gaze of yours. You’re risking your life to sound the alarm for us!”
The Great Xia emperor: “You’ve worked hard, my dear subject! Once you’ve completed your mission, I’ll let you retire to your hometown!” (Unspoken thought: Want to retire? We’ll talk after the war is over!)
I reviewed it after reading it. The content is lively and interesting, and there are no deliberately piled up nonsense. From the beginning to the end, the protagonist follows the steady spirit of catching fish early and getting off work early. The emperor in this book is also very good. He does not think that the protagonist is too outstanding (forgive me for not thinking of a suitable adjective) to think that he is a great master. There is no heroine in this book, and there are some unimportant female characters. I think even female readers can accept it. In addition, there aren't too many typos and so on, so they won't have any impact. Summary: This is a good book. You can read it if you are usually bored. The plot has some content, and it is linked to each other without being procrastinating or clumsy. After reading it, I didn't feel it was too short. Instead, I felt it was just right and fit the protagonist's character very well.
I actually didn't understand much of what he said. I was just listening, but I felt that uh, some of the key points may not have been heard. It just felt a bit confusing, but um, overall it was pretty good. It was just that the plot was enjoyable and um, there was no problem.
I was a little dizzy when I wrote it. I felt so good. I was sweating profusely after reading it. I recommend it. It's not bad. The pace is very tight and fast. It doesn't drag on.
The content is novel and the rhythm is tight. Every life and death situation of the protagonist is exciting.
It's pretty good. It's one of my favorites so far.
