The Slacking Little King: Whoever Wants This Dragon Throne Can Have It!

In the final years of the Great Yin Dynasty, everything is absurd beyond belief. The chief eunuch, the "Nine-Thousand-Year-Old," monopolizes the government, wears the emperor's robes, and sleeps in the imperial bed, yet he's afraid of the dark and bugs. The vassal princes are busy competing over "whose concubine dances better" and "whose golden toilet shines brighter." The people are destitute, yet they're told to "pretend to live in peace and prosperity." The court is full of "refined self-serving opportunists": no one truly does any work, but everyone is an expert at passing the buck.

Xiao just wants to lie flat and live like a lazy fish, but a string of "comical misunderstandings" pushes him onto the path of rebellion. After overthrowing the dynasty, he's "forcibly installed" by the civil and military officials, kicking off a hilarious tug-of-war as he finds every possible way to refuse the throne. Amidst all the scheming and contests of wits, he unwittingly becomes the "wise king who saved the people" in their eyes.
