Tang Yan, 26, wants to retire.
He thinks about it by day, dreams about it at night, and spends all 365 days thinking about it over and over.
As retirement seems to get a year farther away with every passing day, his mind goes blank and he steps into an abandoned electrical shaft, tumbling into the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Congratulations, you are now:
A wage slave: the emperor
Looking at the memorials stacked before him like a small mountain, Tang Yan's vision goes black, again and again.

A little scene:
In his previous life, the 26-year-old corporate drone wanted to retire. Reincarnated as a 50-year-old king, he wants to retire even more.
But his original body has several sons, and he simply can't decide which one to name Crown Prince.
Then one day, he hears his third son brazenly declare:
"Father is hale and hearty, and can still govern for another ten years. It would be a blessing for all of Great Sheng!"
What Tang Yan hears is:
Another ten years of work.
Ten years of work.
Ten years.
Of work.
Fine, fine! He'll issue an edict right now and make him Crown Prince!
He wants to become the Retired Emperor!
