Both are set in the late Warring States period, but with different kingdom surnames and population sizes. This is a seemingly real but actually unrealistic late Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

    "Who Will Wear the Yellow Robe When It's Cold?" Is a hilarious and refreshing take on the alternate history fantasy genre! The protagonist, after transmigrating, is unexpectedly thrust onto the throne with a yellow robe, and with a modern mind, he wreaks havoc in the fictional dynasty: on one hand, he uses his quirky methods to build infrastructure and crack down on corrupt officials, turning the court into a "workplace drama"; on the other hand, he engages in extreme struggles with various warlords and ambitious figures, going from being forced to become emperor to actively seizing power over the land. Packed with exciting moments and constant laughs, it's a must-read in the alternate history fantasy genre!

    Reader note

    Originally intending to live a life of leisure and idleness, Chu Xiu unexpectedly achieved immortality through complacency and godlike status through slacking off. His philosophy of "playing it easy" propelled the Great Wu Dynasty forward—his protégés, from the richest woman to the most successful imperial merchant and the emperor to a lazy emperor, all mastered the art of "winning without effort." He initially planned to flee with his severance pay, but instead found himself worshipped by thousands. The biggest misunderstanding in the world is: everyone else is working incredibly hard, while he's genuinely playing it easy. [May good fortune come soon!]
