Start with a Nine Thousand Year Old

Product manager Lin Fan died suddenly after working overtime for seven consecutive days, and woke up as the 16th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao. I thought I would be able to enjoy the blessings of being a nine-five-year-old, but I found that this was the beginning of hell even more terrifying than "996": his body became seriously ill due to falling into the water, and history records that he only had a few months to live; above the court, the powerful eunuch Wei Zhongxian covered the sky with one hand, and was called "nine thousand years old"; the relationships in the harem were complicated. And he himself is a short-lived puppet who will be written into history books. Faced with a life and death crisis, Lin Fan decided to manage the entire Ming Empire as the most arduous and crazy project in his career. Staying alive is the primary KPI of the project. He pretended to have amnesia to hide the truth, and used the modern workplace survival rules to deal with the conspiracy whirlpool: using the "cake painting" technique to unite people's hearts, using "performance appraisal" to rectify the inner court, and using "project management" thinking to handle government affairs. As a result, the painting style of the Ming Dynasty suddenly changed. At the court meeting, the emperor and ministers no longer discussed the mysterious words of saints, but clear "five-year plans" and "mission Gantt charts"; concubines in the harem began to accept strange "KPI assessments"; generals led troops on expeditions, holding in their hands a "Standardized Combat Procedure Manual" written by the emperor himself. Can Lin Fan use Internet thinking to save this empire on the verge of collapse? What kind of ironic sparks will the "New Deal" he implements create when it collides with the entrenched old forces and the rolling torrent of history? This is a wonderful fusion of modern social animals and ancient imperial power. See how a project manager in the Ming Dynasty worked hard to exceed the KPI of himself and the entire dynasty!
