The Heavenly Emperor Is Slacking Off Again Today

How did things come to this? The Heavenly Emperor gazed up at the mountain of paperwork piled higher than the ceiling and fell into deep thought.

He worked day and night. What were Daozu and the others doing?

Daozu: Having tea. Do not disturb.

Looking at the mountains of paperwork before him, he thought of the promise he and his wife had made thousands of years ago: to sneak down to the mortal realm and explore together. Then he remembered how his resignation requests had been submitted and rejected time and time again. The Heavenly Emperor wept. "Yunsu, I'm sorry. I'll have to break my promise again this millennium..."

So why was he the one they came to even when Chang'e's rabbit went missing? Where had all his ministers gone?

Meanwhile, the various old ministers in the Heavenly Court thought to themselves: Has His Majesty never heard? The capable get more work!

Hoping to fulfill his promise sooner, the Heavenly Emperor went to Daozu to complain about how hard he worked and once again asked to resign. In the end, he returned to the Heavenly Court with a copy of the Investiture of the Gods.

He hadn't managed to resign, but fortunately, he could recruit a new batch of ministers to share the burden.

Just as the Heavenly Emperor was secretly rejoicing and sneaking down to the mortal realm to spend time with his wife, a minister suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, this is bad! Some mountain spirits and monsters have appeared out of nowhere and are causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace again!"

Sun Wukong, who was playing with the golden cudgel in his hand, heard the minister's telepathic message and shouted, "Hey! What do you mean, mountain spirits and monsters from nowhere? It's your Grandpa Sun!"

His hand trembled as he held the paper crane used to deliver messages. He'd only been able to rest for a few days, and now he had to work overtime again!

Daozu above, he wanted to resign!!!

But as he kept working, the rumors about him grew more and more ridiculous.

Things like the First Heavenly Emperor of the Three Realms. (This one isn't bad.)

Things like the Red Thread Heavenly Emperor. (Did he steal Nuwa's job?)

Things like the Heavenly Emperor, Life Coach. (???)

He had no idea he gave off this kind of vibe. Damn it!

Official CP: Queen Mother of the West. Yunsu was her name before she ascended to the Heavenly Court.

Theme: Resist overtime, the 996 grind, and 007 work schedules
