After Reincarnating as a Spoiled Heir, I Became Chief Minister Thanks to My Lucky Star

[Female-to-male transmigration + lucky breaks and a life of ease + everyone’s wild assumptions + solving cases and face-slapping + no romance + pure feel-good fun]

Xiao Yue, a history major who’s given up on life, opens her eyes to find she’s transmigrated into the body of Xiao Yue, the capital’s number-one young wastrel.

Right after she transmigrates, more than twenty people hired by an enemy surround her home. But the enemy slips on moss and breaks his leg, and a flowerpot knocks his thugs unconscious. She wins without lifting a finger.

An assassin climbs over the wall in the middle of the night to kill her, but he pulls a muscle in his arm while drawing his bow. As he runs away, he steps on rotten vegetable leaves and falls flat on his face, only to be captured on the spot.

She casually flips through a dusty old case file and offhandedly remarks, “That’s an awful name. Doesn’t sound like a good person.” Just like that, a three-year-old murder case involving the extermination of a whole family is solved.

She points at a sneaky-looking mouse and says, “That thing’s obviously stolen something.” Three stolen imperial treasures from the Chancellor’s residence are dug out of its burrow.

The whole capital goes wild:

“Young Master Xiao is a genius! He was just hiding his true abilities before!”

“Xiao, the judicial commissioner, solves cases like a god. He must be Bao Zheng reborn!”

“Lord Xiao will surely become a great statesman and help His Majesty usher in a golden age!”

Xiao Yue clutches a braised pork knuckle, utterly baffled.

“Wait! I was really just making an offhand remark!”

“I just want to sleep until I wake up naturally every day, hide out in the archives eating snacks and slacking off. I don’t want to be an official, solve cases, or get involved in political schemes!”

Then one day, the officials push her into the position of Grand Chancellor. Looking at the crowd below her shouting, “Long live the Emperor!” she nearly bursts into tears.

“I really just wanted to lie flat!”
