Zhu Tao, a seasoned modern-day corporate drone and master of slacking off, dies suddenly after working overtime all night and wakes up in the body of the Ming Dynasty's Longqing Emperor, Zhu Zaiji...
(A clever and satisfying novel, guaranteed to be honest and fair)
Historically, the Longqing Emperor reigned for six years, indulged in women and drugs, and was a typical short-lived ruler.
After arriving in this body, Zhu Tao looks at its frailty and the "workaholic" atmosphere among the court officials, and immediately swears an oath:
"The only KPI I have in this life is to live longer! Anyone who dares make me work overtime will be fired!"
And so, the Ming Dynasty's style takes a sharp turn.
Grand Secretary Gao Gong wants to push through reforms. Zhu Tao: "Approved. Don't bother me. I'm taking a nap."
Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng wants to implement the performance review system. Zhu Tao: "Approved. Don't bother me. I'm watching a show (listening to music)."
Zhu Tao only wants to be a background character, but then he discovers that the more he slacks off, the stronger the Ming Dynasty becomes?
Okay, okay, a bit level I feel like the ones with the same theme are not very good.
