The Conquered Founding Emperor Turns into a Couch Potato [Book Transmigration]

Gu Jing rose from a demoted young general sent into exile to the founding emperor, with Wen Qingxuan sharing every triumph and disgrace along the way.

But just as Gu Jing was nearing death, Wen Qingxuan promised to be with him in the next life. Gu Jing was moved to tears when he heard a fawning voice say, "Congratulations, Host. You've obtained the sincere tears of an emperor for the ages."

Then Wen Qingxuan's familiar, gentle voice cheerfully exclaimed, "I finally cleared the boss! Hurry, on to the next level!"

Gu Jing: "???"

When he realized he was nothing more than a mission to be romanced, Gu Jing died with his eyes wide open.

When Gu Jing opened his eyes again, he had been reborn on the eve of marching on the capital and overthrowing the Jin Dynasty. He had also gained the ability to read minds.

Wen Qingxuan: System, are you sure I'll get 300 points for coaxing Gu Jing into making me empress?

His trusted advisor: I'll present the imperial robe and beg my lord to ascend the throne! With this merit stacked up, I should have enough to become a grand secretary!

His capable general: Will I be granted a title, or executed? Should I seize control instead? Gu Jing and Wen Qingxuan are both gay, anyway, and have no sons!

Gu Jing: "…"

Exhausted, Gu Jing decided to genuinely carry out his pledge to "purge the emperor's entourage." After eliminating the treacherous officials, he still kept the Jin Dynasty's young emperor, four-year-old Situ Cheng, on the throne. Then he gave himself the title of Prince of Leisure and watched without a trace of emotion as everyone's schemes came to nothing.

There was just one small problem: the little emperor on the throne and Empress Dowager Cui had run away.

He had to bring them back.

He never expected to return with a wife and a stepson.

And just like that, he became the retired emperor.

Gu Jing: I'm so sad. I've achieved the emperor-for-the-ages accomplishment again!
