I Upended Art History by Slacking Off

Shen Congzhou is a landscape architect who works himself to death from endless overtime. To his surprise, when he opens his eyes again, he's arrived in an ancient dynasty that never existed in history. What's more, he's the emperor's younger brother. The emperor has no sons, so Shen Congzhou, as a potential successor, naturally becomes a target for everyone. Rebellious ministers threaten him, and the emperor suspects him. And Shen Congzhou, a lifelong workaholic office drone, of course... chooses to slack off! * The emperor places a spy by his ambitious younger brother's side to report on his every move. But ever since the younger brother came down with a cold, the spy's reports have all sounded like this: "The prince drew portraits of the common folk on the street. They looked like monsters, and he made quite a few women cry." "For the sake of his appetite, the prince opened a teahouse. It doesn't sell tea, only a drink called 'milk tea.'" "The prince held an art exhibition for the capital's painters, displaying only the ugly paintings." "The prince built a garden, but didn't make any mountains or water features. He just trimmed the plants into the shape of rabbits. How strange! So strange!" "Your Majesty, this is my last report." The emperor frowns. "Why?" "The prince said I have an artistic talent. I'm going to pursue art." The emperor: "Shen Congzhou! What on earth are you doing?!" Shen Congzhou, who has just fished a koi out of the emperor's lotus pond: "Slacking off, of course." In the literal sense. Theme: Returning to ancient times to develop landscape gardening
