Great Ming: Zhu Yuntong Lies Flat, and the System Chooses Old Zhu

A modern-day corporate drone worked overtime until he dropped dead, only to transmigrate and become Zhu Yuntong, grandson of the Ming emperor.

Given a second life, he sees through the rat race and has only one obsession left:

Zhu Yuanzhang was moved to tears of rage!

He forced Zhu Yuntong to read memorials, so Zhu Yuntong slacked off the whole time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was desperate, and Zhu Yuntong even more so:

"Grandpa, I really just want to lie flat..."
