I'm Sick, and I Can't Be Bothered

[Lighthearted romance, with little palace intrigue or court politics] [Delicate, frail beauty VS an indulgent husband] ==Blurb== Overworked wage slave Xiao Zongjiu has only one dream in life: to lie flat. One day, he transmigrates into a book and becomes a cannon-fodder crown prince who dies in chapter three of an emperor's coming-of-age novel. He's also a frail, sickly young man. When Xiao Zongjiu arrives, the crown prince is on the verge of launching a coup. His personal guard has already assembled and is standing ready outside the Crown Prince's residence. Xiao Zongjiu spits out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest as he sways unsteadily. "I... I can still be saved!" So when Regent Shang Heyin arrives with his troops, ready to catch the crown prince red-handed, he finds the entire Crown Prince's Guard sitting on the ground. The crown prince, dressed in plain clothes, stands on the steps, holding a brush in his slender, jade-like fingers as he draws a rounded "0" on a huge sheet of paper. The crown prince is thin and frail. After coughing twice, he weakly says, "Everyone, repeat after me. This is an Arabic numeral, zero." The regent sneers. "Your Highness is truly frail, yet steadfast in your ambitions." Xiao Zongjiu's face turns pale. Is this guy making fun of me? After escaping disaster, Xiao Zongjiu suddenly discovers that this dynasty's mathematical knowledge is woefully lacking. Every year, they're crushed by the neighboring kingdoms in math competitions. The old emperor recognizes his mathematical talent and sends him straight to the Imperial Academy to teach math. To keep himself alive and lie flat for as long as possible, Xiao Zongjiu happily clocks in at the Imperial Academy. One lesson a day, then he lies peacefully off to the side like a lazy fish. Xiao Zongjiu thinks this life is pretty good, and he can just muddle through. But a few days later, the regent starts clocking in at the Imperial Academy every day with his ministers, supposedly to improve the leadership team's overall abilities. Xiao Zongjiu: ... The regent rests his chin on his hand and smiles. "Why have you stopped, Your Highness?" Your Highness? His Highness wants to cough up three pints of blood. You shameless scoundrel, forcing a lazy fish to get moving! Later, Xiao Zongjiu spreads numbers and formula mnemonics throughout the land without even realizing it, and accidentally becomes the teacher of the whole world. From then on, the crown prince is renowned for his peerless elegance and profound knowledge, with admirers as numerous as cattle's hair. All kinds of popular novels about the "Dashing Crown Prince" flood the market. The regent sets aside a special section in his study for these novels. He reads them aloud at night and even tries to put what he reads into practice. Xiao Zongjiu lies flat. "If you want to do something, do it yourself. I'm not moving." [Reading Guide:] 1.

After they split up, his ex became an internationally acclaimed Best Actor, while Jian Cong ended up an obscure bottom-tier entertainer, hated by the entire internet. One day, his family suddenly asks him to come home for a blind date. His match turns out to be his ex-boyfriend, Fu Wenzhou. Fu Wenzhou pulls out his household registration booklet.
