[Transmigrated as a Ming prince? I just want to survive long enough to retire!]
One day, a modern overworked office drone wakes up as Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of Zhu Di, a founding hero of the Ming dynasty, and the infamous “champion of courting death” known as the Prince of Han!
With his suspicious father Zhu Di giving him the death stare, his scheming elder brother the Crown Prince smiling as he tests him, his third brother the Prince of Zhao eagerly watching the drama, and his genius nephew Zhu Zhanji, who will one day roast him like a clay-pot chicken, Zhu Gaoxu is on the verge of a breakdown. This isn't how the story is supposed to go! Where's the overpowered hero plot he was promised? Is it still in time to play dumb?
And so, the Ming court takes on a bizarre new look:
While everyone else fights for power, he slacks off. While others embezzle, he hands out performance bonuses. When his emperor father rewards him with beauties, he stays up all night writing a “medical leave request for kidney deficiency.” Sent to help build Beijing, he comes up with a “Ming Dynasty recycling system.” He joins Zheng He on his voyages and ends up playing cards online with the local chieftains?!
Zhu Di: “The second son seems... a lot more sensible lately?”
The Crown Prince: “Why does my second brother's slacking always feel like he's setting a trap for me?”
Zhu Zhanji: “Uncle, you're lying! Yesterday you said steam engines were more fun than crickets!”
There is something wrong with this! Chapter 81 The prince actually said that his mother died not long ago. Does that mean that Queen Xu is dead? But what does it mean that Queen Xu is alive in Chapter 86?
There is still work to be done on the details of the article. For example, in Chapter 81, the prince discusses the King of Han's request to the feudal lord and writes that the Queen Mother has not passed away for a long time. In Chapter 86, Queen Xu is comforting the King of Han again [covering her face] and it looks weird.
