Synopsis

Xiao Che, heir to the Defender of the State, is a one-of-a-kind slacker in the world of political intrigue, a ruthless man who just can't be bothered. While others stay up all night drafting treasonous plots, he sneaks away from his academy tutor to slack off and munch on sweet cakes. When his subordinates nervously prepare to intercept the grain barges, he still remembers to add, "Pick up a couple boxes of Jiangnan lotus root starch while you're at it."

When the Blackstone Tribe sets an ambush to steal the rice seeds, he has already arranged for Batu to guard the riverbank. He even grumbles that the villains' masks are "so ugly they hurt my eyes. Takes all the fun out of fighting them." When envoys from Helan sneak in to steal blueprints for a loom, he wanders over for a look and laughs. "The drawings aren't as neat as my servant's handwriting when he takes down the menu."

Yet somehow, his knack for slacking off always helps him solve the crisis. He can spot a traitor from gossip overheard through the wall, persuade envoys to join the alliance while making snide remarks, and even get drought-resistant rice sprouts to germinate earlier than anyone else's. The martial world calls him "a landslide in the world of heirs, the comedy act of political intrigue." As for Jinglan? First, he needs to decide whether to add braised pork knuckle to tonight's dinner!

In a Reading Slump, Looking for Highly Rated Recommendations

Highly rated stories with a logical plot. Whether it's fantasy, the apocalypse, or ghosts and monsters, I want the story's logic to hold together and both the protagonist and the villains to be intelligent. No villains who act like kindergarteners.
