I Lay Low in Heaven's Bureaucracy and Became a Big Shot

Before transmigrating, Zhang Fang worked in internet operations, stuck in the infamous 996 work schedule. After transmigrating, he spent ten years cultivating in secret, single-mindedly determined to storm the Celestial Court and exact revenge on the Celestial Emperor.

But the moment he arrived, he was beaten down and shoved into the Celestial Court's Department of Divine Affairs, a grassroots bureaucracy rife with red tape and rigid hierarchies.

"Want revenge? Finish the PowerPoint for the next ten thousand years first."

And so began revenge-seeker Zhang Fang's living hell at work.

He used sword energy to process paperwork and divine sense to host video conferences, wreaking havoc throughout the office.

His department head said his reports "read like suicide notes," forcing him to rewrite them thirty times in a breakdown.

He used the Excel skills from his past life to create automated reports that stunned the whole department, only for his boss to take the credit.

After ten thousand years of getting ground down at work, the once-passionate avenger became a smooth-talking old hand.

He learned the rules, but nearly lost sight of what mattered to him.

When his ten thousand years were finally up, he stood before the Celestial Emperor and delivered an answer to life more compelling than revenge.

This is an absurd tale of a spectacular comeback, written for every wage slave: destruction is easy, building something is hard, but any of us can be the one who manages the world well.
