Meng Mianzhou is a very, very... very distant poor relative of the former dynasty's tyrant.

So when news came that the former dynasty's tyrant had been beheaded by the brutal leader of the rebel army, his body hung on the palace walls for three days and nights, his princes and princesses were executed one after another, and the purge of his entire clan went on for a full month...

Meng Mianzhou simply pulled up his quilt, rolled over comfortably in bed, and slept even more soundly.

After all, his blood relationship to the tyrant was even more distant than that between Liu Bei, the sandal seller, and Emperor Xian of Han! The killing would never reach him!

But the next day, an unwelcome visitor showed up at his door.

[Dear Host, we have detected that your grandmother's grandmother's second maternal granduncle's... aunt was the younger sister of the former dynasty's tyrant's great-great... grandfather. Congratulations, you have successfully bound the Restoration System! Begin your imperial quest to claim the Central Plains!]

Meng Mianzhou woke up in an instant and hurriedly covered his ears with the quilt.

In his previous life, he had worked himself to the bone in the modern world, competing and grinding himself down... He died at thirty without getting to enjoy a single day of life's pleasures.

In this life, he swore while still in the womb:

Even if it kills him, he will spend this life as a couch potato!

Restoring a dynasty is exhausting... and his opponent is the tyrant who, after wiping out the former emperor's entire clan, went on to slaughter the subordinates who had fought alongside him!

The System smiled. [Host, you're almost out of money. If you don't accept my mission, you'll have to go out and get a job.]

Get a job? Never. He would never work in this lifetime!

Meng Mianzhou jolted upright as if on his deathbed, then slumped back down and said,

[Then kill me now. I want euthanasia.]

System: ...

After the System pestered him relentlessly, Meng Mianzhou finally relented. [Is there a way to restore the dynasty while lying down?]

System: ?

System: There is!

The System said, [After checking, Host, you are 99% identical to the Tyrant's deceased beloved. All you have to do is bear the Tyrant's child, wait until he dies, and then have the child change the reign title... Wouldn't that mean the dynasty is restored?]

After years of being worked like an ox, Meng Mianzhou needed only one ear to hear the trap in the System's words. He sneered.

[You're telling me to fight in the imperial harem... That's even more exhausting than restoring a dynasty. Just euthanize me.]

System: ...

[N-no... You won't have to fight in the harem!]

[Really! I promise! My shop has a chemical castration... No, a miraculous medicine that protects men's chastity. It's colorless and odorless. Once you've given birth, secretly feed it to the Tyrant. Then, if anyone else claims to be carrying his child, swear by your entire clan that they're defiling the imperial harem and deserve death!

[So you'll win without lifting a finger!]

Meng Mianzhou, whose entire clan consisted of just himself: ...

[...Fine.]

In the eyes of outsiders, the Tyrant Chu Hancang was cold-blooded, cruel, and mercurial. But he had always kept a beloved in his heart.

When Chu Hancang was fifteen, disaster struck his family and he was sold into slavery. Fortunately, the boy who bought him had a terrible reputation.

The boy's bad reputation came from his laziness.

When Chu Hancang first started working, he was clumsy and broke an expensive vase worth several hundred taels.

The boy angrily raised his whip, then lowered it, flopped onto the ground like a limp egg flower, and sighed.

“Forget it. I'm too lazy to beat you.”

Someone came up to the boy and whispered that Chu Hancang was a thief, stealing things from the household to sell outside.

The boy didn't even bat an eyelid.

“Too lazy to be suspicious.”

The outsiders kept stirring things up until the boy was convinced.

“Fine.”

“But looking into this is too much trouble. I'm too lazy to investigate. Hmm... Let Chu Hancang look into it.”

The outsiders and Chu Hancang: ...

Chu Hancang thought laziness was great. Laziness was wonderful.

Until one day, refugees rioted and bandits hid among them. The boy's entire fortune was plundered, and even his life was in danger.

While they were being pursued, Chu Hancang injured both arms protecting the boy. When the boy said he couldn't run anymore, Chu Hancang begged him through tears to keep going.

The boy had a sudden idea. “Xiao Cang, I've thought of a way to run fast without using any energy!”

The boy curled into a ball and rolled down the steep hillside, round and round. But at the foot of the slope was a cliff a hundred zhang deep.

Chu Hancang: “No!!!”

At the palace banquet.

Presented as a beauty, Meng Mianzhou gazed at the imposing emperor seated above him.

He tried hard to recall the System's instructions, but most of them had slipped his mind. Of the few he remembered, he was too lazy to follow.

This was too much trouble, all too much trouble. Meng Mianzhou simply flopped down and gave up.

“Tyrant, I'm really too lazy to try and please you. Just come and have me!”

The moment he said this, the entire hall was stunned. Everyone thought the beauty was about to die.

But when Chu Hancang saw the familiar face that had appeared in his dreams, his eyes reddened and he nearly burst into tears.

Trembling all over, he walked down from the dais one step at a time, knelt on one knee, and bent down to embrace the person he had yearned for day and night.

“...All right.”

Bonus Scene 1:

Years of campaigning had taught Chu Hancang that no matter how carefully he looked after Meng Mianzhou, Mianzhou still needed the strength to protect himself.

So he took Meng Mianzhou out for exercise every day.

Rain or shine, nothing could stop them.

The couch potato Meng Mianzhou suffered miserably.

The System seized its chance to whisper in his ear. “Host, if you get pregnant, you won't have to exercise! Who would make a pregnant man run eight hundred meters? They'd be condemned for it!”

Exhausted to the point of madness, Meng Mianzhou thought the System's idea sounded pretty good. He took the initiative to drag Chu Hancang into bed day and night, and finally got pregnant.

Meng Mianzhou wept tears of joy, thinking he'd finally reached the good life.

But it wasn't long before he started vomiting and having diarrhea, so miserable he could only lie in Chu Hancang's arms and cry.

[System, you treacherous thing... You've ruined me!]

Bonus Scene 2:

They say there are remnants of the former dynasty plotting to restore their country again.

Chu Hancang was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

But after looking into it, the trail led straight to his Empress and young Crown Prince.

Meng Mianzhou coughed guiltily and poked his child's cheek.

The Crown Prince straightened his back and declared righteously,

“That's right, Father. Father and I are remnants of the former dynasty.”

“But Father, don't be afraid. Our plan is to wait until you're dead, then I'll become emperor and change the reign title to Hua!”

Hua was the former dynasty's reign title.

Chu Hancang sighed.

“There is no need to do that. It's only a reign title. Just tell me and I'll have it changed tomorrow.”

A minister nearby overheard and turned pale with shock, hastily dropping to his knees.

“Your Majesty, you absolutely must not! Changing the reign title would shake the foundations of the realm and dishonor our ancestors...”

Chu Hancang gave him a cold look.

The minister suddenly remembered that the man before him was the founding emperor of the current dynasty...

Oh, never mind. He himself was the ancestor.

The minister stood back up as if nothing had happened.

Meng Mianzhou, who was usually too lazy to voice an opinion, spoke up. “There's no need to change it. I like the current reign title.”

The System protested. [Host, how could you do this? Are you still going to complete the restoration mission or not?]

Meng Mianzhou: [Have you forgotten what my name is?]

The System fell silent, unable to say a word.

The reign title chosen at the founding of the dynasty was Zhou, the same Zhou as in Meng Mianzhou's name.
