Great Ming: I Work Nine to Five, and I Made Old Zhu See Red

Su Hong wakes up one day and discovers that he has transmigrated to the early Ming Dynasty, where he has become a county magistrate. He activates the “Nine-to-Five System,” which requires him to work from nine to five every day and clock out on time to earn rewards!

He also has to get weekends off!

Doing this under Zhu Yuanzhang? Has he lost his mind?

The man himself is a workaholic. You want to take time off under his rule? Do you have a death wish?

But after seeing the rewards provided by the System, Su Hong can only say, “This is actually pretty great…”

Until one day, an old man surnamed Zhu arrives in Taiping County.

The old man berates Su Hong: “Is this how you serve as an official? The emperor works diligently on state affairs, putting in eight shichen, or sixteen hours, a day. And you, as the people’s magistrate, are so negligent?”

Su Hong replies, “If the old emperor wants to work, let him work more. That’s what he enjoys. Why should he drag me into working overtime?”

At these words, the old man flies into a rage and moves to have Su Hong arrested.
