Zhu Yi, an ordinary young man from the modern era, woke up one day to find he had transmigrated into the Ming Dynasty as the Chongzhen Emperor.
Before him lay a shattered realm, the empire on the brink of collapse. The Ming dynasty could fall at any moment.
But he soon realized...
Waging war? He couldn’t.
Governing the country? He couldn’t.
Reforming it? He had no idea where to begin.
And that wasn’t even counting the empty treasury, the disasters and calamities that kept coming, and the fear gripping the court from top to bottom.
If he couldn’t do anything, then he might as well do nothing at all.
I’ll just give up and lie flat, and enjoy some peace and quiet.
Attend court? No.
Read memorials? No.
Listen to advice? No.
From now on, I just want to do as I please and enjoy the comfortable life of a foolish ruler.
Let the empire weather its storms. I’ll be off enjoying myself.
