I Really Don’t Want to Be a Tyrant!

Reincarnated as a puppet child emperor, sidelined by the Empress Dowager and powerful ministers, Lin Mo only wants to slack off and coast through life. But then he binds himself to the Strongest Tyrant System: skip court? Earn points! Talk back to the Empress Dowager? Claim a reward!

A burned-out office worker crushed by 996 in his past life, he now takes the art of slacking to dazzling new heights. He uses A Guide to Postpartum Care for Sows to save the people from famine, fills the treasury with livestream sales tactics, and even turns chili seeds into “immortal offerings.”

The military-clan empress who once looked down on him becomes his personal bodyguard. The chief minister’s daughter, who was always scheming, gradually falls for him. And the gentle physician Wan'er remains his solace in the deep palace.

From singing “Happy Birthday” at a birthday banquet and leaving every official speechless, to personally leading an expedition and settling threats without shedding a drop of blood, Lin Mo reforms the empire in the name of a “tyrant.” But just as he reaches the height of power, the System suddenly turns everything upside down: this was never a Tyrant System at all!
