Lin Chen, a modern-day overworked office drone and devoted food delivery fan, dies suddenly after pulling an all-nighter and is reborn as the most wretched puppet emperor in the history of the Great Jing Dynasty. The court is controlled by powerful ministers, the imperial harem is all but empty, and the treasury is cleaner than a polished face. With a delivery app menu in his head, workplace slacking skills, and modern common sense, he blunders his way to a comeback, turning the ancient court into one uproarious mess.
