After transmigrating into the body of an emperor of a fallen kingdom, he plans to slack off, ruin the country, and become its ruler. But his modern way of thinking turns every “foolish move” into a stroke of genius: cutting staff to boost efficiency becomes institutional reform, haphazardly building highways stimulates trade, carelessly changing military training creates a powerful army, and trading with the enemy earns him a stunning comeback. Yet the court officials firmly believe His Majesty is playing an elaborate game of strategy. From eunuchs to enemy rulers, everyone imagines hidden meanings, interpreting his laziness as the unfathomable art of imperial rule. So the harder he tries to ruin the country, the stronger it becomes; the more he wants it to fall, the closer it comes to unification.
