I Am the Empress, but I Don't Want to Ascend the Throne

A modern-day corporate drone transmigrates into the body of an ancient empress, only to find herself in an awkward position. The previous emperor died suddenly without an heir, and she, a distant female relative of the imperial family, was pushed onto the throne as a puppet by powerful ministers.

The heroine has no interest in the throne and only wants to lie flat and slack off, but her modern way of thinking leads her to repeatedly shock the court with her unconventional antics.

With modern knowledge, a thick skin, and a philosophy of slacking off, she defies fate and changes her life. In the end, she goes from being forced onto the throne to ruling by choice, becoming a wise ruler of her age.
