The Great Ming's Laid-Back Official: Old Zhu Makes Me Work Overtime Every Day

[Transmigration, Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, lying flat, comedy, power fantasy, court intrigue, forced promotion]

The making of a lazy grand secretary who failed to lie flat

I transmigrated to the Ming dynasty during the Hongwu era. All I wanted was to slack off and clock out, but Zhu Yuanzhang kept forcing me to work overtime!

I rely on modern project management to coast through the day and stay alive, but Old Zhu thinks I’m a genius and keeps promoting me up the ranks!

I get forced into handling construction projects, clearing waterways, investigating rebellions, and stabilizing paper currency. The officials can’t keep up, and Old Zhu dotes on me to no end!

Gu Sansi breaks down: Your Majesty, I really just want to be a lazy little official. I don’t want to work overtime!
