Overworked corporate drone Lu Yan pulls an all-nighter and dies suddenly, only to wake up in the ancient world in the third year of Jinghe.
No money, no house, no connections. He starts out hungry in the wilderness and nearly gets arrested as a rioter and thrown into prison by the local constables.
Others transmigrate to conquer the realm, become nobles and ministers, or expand the empire's borders.
Lu Yan, on the other hand, is all about slacking off to stay alive, eating his fill and waiting for death, and refusing to get caught up in the rat race.
The county magistrate wants him to work? He shirks and slacks his way out of it.
The chancellor wants to recruit him as an advisor? He lies flat and politely declines.
The female general forces him to train in martial arts? He counters with barbecue recipes, homemade soda, soap, and white sugar.
The court is going mad with competition? He's lounging in the palace, snacking on sunflower seeds and slacking off, clocking out on time after every meal.
The court officials: "Your Majesty, this man has no ambition, is lazy, and loves good food. You absolutely must not put him to important use!"
The emperor: "But he can make money, keep the people safe, quell rebellions, and make the Empress Dowager happy."
Later, while officials throughout the court drive themselves into a frenzy competing, Lu Yan lies flat and coasts his way to greatness.
He doesn't want power or to be king. He only wants to be the Great Jing's number-one idle fish.
He lazes through life, eats his fill, and waits for death, yet somehow becomes peerless in the world!
