Synopsis

Fusu, a “former corporate drone” who had returned to Great Qin, only wanted to lie flat like a lazy fish. Instead, he was bound to “Kitty,” a child-rearing support System.

To make matters worse, his father Ying Zheng could hear every thought he muttered in secret!

And so, a lazy little prince schemed wildly to fool the System, while his workaholic father caught him slacking and pushed him to improve. A hilarious tug-of-war between “health and leisure” and “unifying the realm” was about to begin!

[Character Tags]

Fusu: Died from working 996 hours in his previous life · Master of lying flat in this one · Scheming lazy fish · Kitty System’s top priority for poverty relief

Ying Zheng: The greatest workaholic of all time · Can hear his son’s thoughts · Conquers the Six States by day · Catches his son doing homework at night

Kitty: Rewards are assigned at random · Fooled by its Host until it starts doubting itself

[Highlights]

The lazy fish’s rules: If you can sit, never stand; if you can talk your way out of it, never lift a finger. The System gets so thoroughly manipulated that it lowers the difficulty of its own tasks.

The workaholic’s daily routine: Brother Zheng reviews memorials until midnight, then casually sets Fusu an alarm to “get up early and memorize the laws.” When he hears his son wants to lie flat, he smiles and raises the stakes: “My son has great ambitions. Why not conquer Baiyue too?”

A spectacular blunder: Fusu silently screams, “I don’t want another 8 a.m. start,” and every official in the hall turns to look at the First Emperor, whose face has suddenly darkened. It’s another day of public humiliation.

A heartwarming bonus: When the lazy fish is forced to get to work, he quietly introduces modern epidemic prevention and farming techniques to Great Qin. Brother Zheng complains, “How did I end up with such a lazy brat?” while draping his softest cloak over his son, who has fallen asleep at his desk.

Health and leisure, or a glorious empire? Lying flat, or working himself to the bone?

The hilarious daily life of the First Emperor and his son, rushing toward each other in mutual affection (and coercion), is about to reveal its ultimate winner!

Looking for books like "All My Teammates Are Crown Princes, and So Am I". The six crown princes are Ying Zheng’s eldest son, one of Liu Bang’s sons, and I think Liu Che too, then our Tang crown prince Li Chengqian, and Zhu Yuanzhang’s crown prince Zhu Biao. There are so few. I’m out of books to read.

Looking for books similar to “Glorious Tang: My Father Is Li Shimin.” I want decent writing. Don't portray Er Feng, Lao Zhu, Zheng Ge, or the Pockmarked One as gloomy lunatics. Transmigration or being reborn are both fine. I just want to see someone lay plans from the very beginning and juggle family ties with their parents and the power of the crown prince.
