A Qing Dynasty Reincarnation: The Tenth Prince's Lazy Diary

After transmigrating into the story of the Nine Princes' struggle for the throne as the goofy Tenth Prince, Yine just wants to keep his head down, lie flat, and live out his days in peace, without getting dragged into the succession struggle.

While the other princes work without a break and get caught up in a 996 grind, Yine skips class and lies flat;

While the princes use every trick in the book to compete for the throne and their father's favor, Yine gives up and plays the idle fish;

When the crown prince is deposed and the other princes fall one by one in the later stages of the succession struggle, Yine lies back and wins his title as a prince.

Crown Prince, the eldest, the third, the eighth, the ninth: ? There's something wrong with you!

Yine grins. The secret to winning by doing nothing is simple: don't compete with the crown prince, don't get involved in witchcraft with the eldest, don't imitate the third by informing on people, and don't join the eighth and ninth in forming a faction. As long as you know how to cling to the right coattails, even an idle fish can be loved!

As for the team-up invitation from workaholic Fourth Brother, Yine declines without hesitation. An idle fish will never turn over!

This novel is also known as "Me and My Workaholic Brothers," "Turns Out I'm the Unlucky Brother," and "What's Wrong with Lying Flat Like an Idle Fish?"

Note: Set in an alternate Qing Dynasty, in a parallel timeline.

In the fifth year after transmigrating to become the seventh prince of Emperor Kangxi, Yinyou is riding in a carriage out of the palace when an Emperor-Raising System drops from the sky and hits him.

Yinyou was born disabled and is treated as a taboo in the palace, forbidden from attending sacrificial rites. At the time, Kangxi has just chosen him to be adopted as the heir of Prince Chun.

Emperor-Raising System 007: Beep! Golden finger activated. Host, let me help you achieve greatness and ascend the throne!

Yinyou: ...You've got the wrong person. I'm disabled, so I can't possibly inherit the throne.

007: ?

Yinyou: Besides, I'm about to be adopted out.

007: ???

Set in an alternate Qing Dynasty. The male lead is a workaholic, but is neither adopted out nor competing for the throne.
