The System Wants Me to Be a Great Emperor, but I Just Want to Slack Off

[History + Ancient Setting + Wild Ideas + Transmigration + No Romance + Lighthearted Comedy + Subverting Expectations + Feel-Good]

Chu Yuan transmigrates into the body of the newly enthroned puppet child emperor of the Great Yuan dynasty and binds himself to the [Eternal Emperor System].

Every day, the System assigns tasks: review memorials, promote worthy officials, train the troops...

Fail, and he’ll be punished physically...

Chu Yuan only wants to slack off, so he starts looking for every loophole he can:

When told to review memorials, he shuts his eyes and stamps them at random.

When told to choose officials, he picks nothing but bootlicking, incompetent young dandies.

When told to deploy the troops, he sends the army to some remote mountains, just so they can build him a summer retreat.

But to his utter surprise, every official at court is a master of reading too much into things.

The randomly stamped memorials happen to shatter the political balance between factions at court.

The dandies he promotes stumble onto a massive corruption scandal while desperately trying to save their own skins.

The army sent to build his retreat just happens to block an elite enemy force secretly infiltrating the country to launch a surprise attack.

A few years later, the Great Yuan is so peaceful that people leave lost items untouched in the streets, and foreign states come to pay tribute.

Slumped on the dragon throne, Chu Yuan sighs up at the sky:

“I really just wanted to slack off. How did you all force me into becoming an emperor for the ages?”
