"Historical Performance Evaluation Office? What kind of unit is that?"
Chang Qing, an overworked wage slave.
He thought he'd landed a civil service job at the tax bureau, so he quit his boss on the spot.
Instead, he somehow ended up working at the Historical Performance Evaluation Office.
He travels through different dynasties to assess and score the emperors' performance.
And his own life is tied to those performance scores?
Qin Shi Huang: "Commissioner Chang, I really don't want to write another daily report!"
"Get writing! We have a team meeting tonight, too!"
Emperor Wu of Han: "Commissioner Chang, am I really not allowed to wage war anymore?"
"You've emptied the treasury with all those campaigns. If our KPIs drop any further, we're both done for. Get out there and lead the way in the fields."
Cao Cao: "Commissioner Chang, do I really have to give up other men's wives to unite the realm?"
"Of course. You can't be trusted with this stuff, so hand it all over to me to manage."
Li Shimin: "Commissioner Chang, can I still clear my name over the Xuanwu Gate Incident?"
"Sure, but first give Wei Zheng a raise. He's about to talk me to death."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Commissioner Chang, these founding officials are constantly taking credit and getting above themselves. Can I just kill them all?"
"No! Your public support score will hit zero. I recommend giving them honorary consultant titles, paying them a small basic salary, and sending them off to farm."
Chang Qing took a gulp of goji berry tea. "Enough, all of you! Have you set your OKRs? If you haven't turned them in, get them written up! Nobody's leaving work tonight!"
