A modern office drone transmigrates as the Ninth Prince, Yinzhen, and knows exactly how history ends. Siding with the Eighth Prince’s faction will only land him in prison, where he’ll die a miserable death.
He awakens the Fish-Slacker Lie-Flat System. No factions, no rat race, no struggle for the throne: he can earn massive rewards simply by making money and settling down for a comfortable retirement.
While all the princes in the succession struggle frantically compete for the throne, Yinzhen alone devotes himself to slacking off and avoiding trouble.
But when Kangxi sees his ninth son, a laid-back prince with immense wealth and an exceptional business acumen, lying flat, he completely panics.
He forces Yinzhen to clean up the Ministry of Revenue’s disastrous books, assigns him the major case of the Grand Canal, and does everything he can to push him into public life and make him build a career.
The Eighth Prince tries desperately to win him over, the Crown Prince secretly courts his favor, and even the Fourth Prince quietly extends an olive branch.
Yinzhen looks helpless: “I really just want to live in peace as a wealthy, carefree prince!”
