In Late Ming, I Never Wanted to Be Emperor

You wake up to find yourself inexplicably covered in a yellow robe, with civil and military officials kneeling on the ground. At this moment, you should cry out in despair, "You have all misled me!"

Regarding the recent two chapters, where the protagonist sets up a bank and uses dynamic passwords to withdraw soldiers' salaries, I've summarized the information based on group chat to prevent anyone from being misled. 1. First, there's the bank. While called a bank, it's essentially a large, single ledger.

He didn't dare to get married even at the end of the Ming Dynasty? He had someone impersonate him? In modern times, if you were to tell your wife that you could travel back to the Ming Dynasty and become the emperor, that would be incredibly stupid. If you did, your wife would almost certainly expose you, and there's no such thing as a couple without conflict.

The limitations of the cheat system are too great. Being able to travel between two worlds and still being short of money is enough to make you want to kill yourself. It's understandable to be afraid of others harming you when you don't have any troops, but what are you afraid of when you have troops? Everyone has an AK and you can conquer the Forbidden City and become emperor in three weeks. Why are you still afraid of others harming you?

Modern fixed-blade knives are mostly low-quality products made from steel bars through direct wire cutting or laser cutting. Any knife of decent quality wouldn't be made as a fixed-blade knife, because these are just unscrupulous merchants using patriotism to fool the average consumer.

Having read so many crossover novels, I've noticed that the protagonists are mostly unambitious. In the modern world, they spend their days complaining about injustice and feeling unappreciated, only to become timid and hesitant when they finally find a powerful patron. Can't they write some protagonists with real ambition?

After reading the first hundred chapters, it seems the protagonist is modeled after a saint? He refuses to touch any other woman even after transmigrating to remain faithful to his wife. As a leader of a regime, he prefers to have someone impersonate his wife and son rather than have children of his own to appease the people.

In ancient times, not marrying and having no offspring was considered the greatest irresponsibility towards one's power and subordinates. As for the author's supposed deep affection, I highly doubt that she is actually a woman!

To think that the gentry would set up factories and then give up exploiting the peasants is truly the biggest joke in history! The most greedy gentry in ancient times never saw themselves as peasants. They would seize any opportunity to make more money, but they would never let go of land, no matter how little income they received!

The protagonist's background is just ridiculous. A middle-aged, greasy, overweight guy is acceptable, but why is he married? And then his daughter gets sick… This background shouldn't be a historical story; it should be a fantasy or xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) story.
