Synopsis

Chen Gou is reborn as a county magistrate on the border and just wants to keep his head down and slack off. Unfortunately, his adviser is a master of wild imagination! He grumbles, “No money, no food. What's the point of doing anything?” The adviser says, “My lord means to use the empty-fort strategy? Brilliant!” He complains, “The city walls are falling apart. Why bother fixing them?” The adviser says, “My lord means to provide relief through public works and win the people's hearts? Genius!” When the imperial army lays siege to the city, Chen Gou is so frightened that he wants to surrender. He turns around and sees his adviser holding out an imperial robe, while the Eighteen Iron Guards cry in unison, “We beg Your Majesty to ascend the throne!” Chen Gou: “??? I just wanted to go to work. How did I become emperor?!”
