Xiao Che, a modern office drone, begins a transmigration through nine lifetimes. Now in his ninth life, all he has to do is die, and he can return to the modern world to enjoy life with all the memories, knowledge, and skills he accumulated over his first eight lives.
But there is one ironclad rule: he cannot kill himself!
In this ninth life, he has become the heir to the Prince of Zhenbei's residence in the Great Yan Dynasty. He has only one thought: die quickly and go home as soon as possible.
So he courts death at every turn and gives up on everything, deliberately taking on one dangerous task after another, all because he wants to end this life as soon as he can.
But fate has other plans. Each time he tries to die, things work out by sheer coincidence, allowing him to achieve great things, win over fierce generals and brilliant advisers, and quell wars across the land.
When peace finally comes and the people bow before him, Xiao Che is close to tears:
I was trying to die this whole time. How did I end up unifying the world instead?
