The Lazybones of Daxia: Please Stop Overthinking, I Really Want to Be Demoted

[Transmigrate] [Easygoing Power Fantasy] [All Heat, No Heart] [Mind Reading]

Zhang Siyu: Your Majesty, I wish to retire and return to my hometown.

His thoughts: Who'd want this lousy job? I'm getting out of here.

Emperor Jingzhao (kindly): You want to guard my realm for me.

Zhang Siyu: ...I want to rebel.

Emperor Jingzhao (moved): My worthy minister is risking his life to urge me to govern diligently! Historian, write that down!

One is desperately trying to get demoted, while the other keeps frantically promoting him.

You chase, I flee: a game of cat and mouse, with promotions.

Zhang Siyu cries out to the heavens: "Stop imagining things! I really just want to retire and be a carefree slacker!"

A mind-reading emperor x a slacker minister

The less you want to work, the more I will promote you.

Everyone's an overthinker. Only the main character is seriously slacking off.
