I Just Want to Lie Flat and Slack Off, Your Majesty (Transmigrated into a Book)

Shen Zhile transmigrates into a book and becomes a foolish emperor whose kingdom is on the brink of collapse.

The foolish emperor once embarked on massive construction projects, waged reckless wars, and indulged in wine and women.

As a laid-back college guy, Shen Zhile takes one look and promptly decides to lie flat.

There's no saving this. Might as well wait to die.

But as luck would have it, he gets bound to a transmigration-into-a-book System.

The System's demand is simple: as long as he accelerates the dynasty's downfall, Shen Zhile will receive a generous bonus and a brand-new life.

System: The sooner you finish, the sooner you clock out.

Laid-back Shen Zhile is tempted.

He starts courting death by following the examples of tyrants from history that he remembers.

He launches massive construction projects, demotes worthy officials, trusts corrupt Taoists, and even defies public opinion by bringing the noble and refined heir of the Marquis of Cheng'en into the palace as a decorative male empress.

But Shen Zhile never expects his plan to backfire.

The top-scoring county magistrate rushes to the capital overnight with plans for glass to present as tribute.

The blind Imperial Preceptor works day and night to invent gunpowder for Shen Zhile.

Even the Chancellor submits a memorial boasting about his own excellent track record.

And after Shen Zhile fails his mission, the heir, supposedly forced into this arrangement, bends down and whispers in his ear:

"I'm the System. Not satisfied?"

Reader's guide:

1. The gong and shou are devoted to each other in body and mind, one-on-one. No shipping speculation, no splitting the gong into multiple personalities.

2. A sweet romance disguised as an infrastructure-building story (not really).

3. Enjoy reading!
