Zhao Xian transmigrates to the Great Yu Dynasty and becomes the only son of the Grand General Who Guards the Nation.
Born into a powerful family with connections reaching the heavens, he immediately decides that in this life he will never join the rat race. He just wants to be a useless layabout, living off others until he dies.
But he soon discovers that the people in this world... have all gone completely off the rails!
He dozes off in the Golden Throne Hall, and the emperor is so terrified he can’t sleep all night. “Zhao Xian is warning me! If he closes his eyes, the whole realm will be turned upside down!”
He casually mentions wanting some gossip, and the entire court immediately launches a purge. “Young Marshal Zhao thinks the sound of heads hitting the ground isn’t crisp enough! Quick, drag those corrupt officials out!”
Even the aloof saintess of an enemy nation gazes at him with deep affection. “To conceal his grand ambitions, he’s willing to bear the reputation of a wastrel. He’s just... I’m going to cry!”
Watching his official rank soar and his room fill with medals of merit, Zhao Xian is utterly dumbfounded.
“I really just want to sleep. Could you please stop reading so much into everything?”
Then one day, his father, known as “Great Yu’s most iron-blooded, battle-hardened general,” suddenly pulls out a pack of Huazi cigarettes when they’re alone.
“Son, quit pretending. Have you taken your ‘big-picture thinking’ to the next level?”
Zhao Xian: ?!!
