The Intangible Heritage Magistrate Just Wants to Slack Off

Shen Yan transmigrates into the body of a poor county magistrate. To improve his own quality of life, he combines intangible cultural heritage crafts with modern thinking to start side businesses and improve people’s livelihoods. All the while, he takes a laid-back approach and refuses to seek promotion. By a twist of fate, he turns Qingxi County into a paradise, and lies his way from a “lazy, incompetent official” into a “once-in-a-millennium capable administrator” acclaimed by the entire court. In the end, he gets his wish: to spend his whole life as the local emperor of Qingxi County, fulfilling his ultimate dream of lying flat.
