I’m Slacking Off in the Harem, and All My Consorts Are Comedians

Xiao Jingyuan, a product manager at a major modern company, is worked to death by endless overtime. When he opens his eyes, he has transmigrated into the body of the new emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty. While other emperors ascend the throne determined to conquer the world, all he wants is to lie flat, slack off, refuse overtime, and avoid tedious court rituals. He plans to be the most laid-back, lazy emperor in history.

He expects a harem full of scheming and constant danger. But after he is forced to hold a selection, he unexpectedly assembles a bizarre troupe of hilarious women: his dignified empress becomes his partner in witty banter; the mighty Consort Hua is obsessed with working out and lifting weights; money-loving Consort Li opens a pawnshop in the harem to make a fortune; Consort Xian has her head full of palace-intrigue stories; health-conscious Consort Ning constantly nags him to stop snacking and go to bed early; and the sweet, absent-minded Noble Lady Song only cares about eating and growing vegetables.

There’s no melodramatic rivalry between women and no heart-wrenching palace intrigue, just consorts teaming up to stir up trouble and a hilarious daily life of the emperor and his consorts pranking and doting on one another. Xiao Jingyuan only wants to slack off, but with his modern way of thinking, he ends up governing in reverse, leaving the old court officials speechless. His laid-back ways don’t stop the nation from flourishing, and his easygoing, doting treatment of his consorts earns their genuine affection. Follow this lazy emperor and his hilarious consorts as they create one chaotic scene after another and build a prosperous era that’s as lighthearted as it is refreshing.
