The First Laid-Back Female Chancellor of Bianjing

Qian Zhaohuai, a laid-back student at a civil service exam prep course, transmigrates into the first female official in the founding dynasty and gets bound to a Retire and Return Home System.

If she botches state affairs and gets exiled by the emperor, she can take ten lifetimes’ worth of wealth back to the modern world.

She begins openly slacking off at court like a lazy fish, making every move with the goal of getting herself exiled for causing trouble.

First, every merchant and resident in the city must work year-round without a day off. The elderly, the weak, women, and children all have to join in. Anyone who can breathe has to work, and every available pair of hands must be put to use.

That should provoke public outrage, right?

Second, all officials must attend court punctually at five in the morning. At the end of every month, she holds performance reviews, and anyone who fails gets demoted and disciplined!

That should provoke resentment among the officials, right?

Third, when going into battle, she sets up a lavish banquet in front of the enemy troops. It has everything from modern hot pot and milk tea to barbecue. Not a single blade is drawn, and not a drop of blood is spilled.

That should get her charged with treason, right?

But who could have expected this?

The people of Bianjing live in peace and prosperity, government has never been so clean and honest, and the enemy army sends a petition to surrender!

Her intended image as a treacherous official to be exiled somehow turns her into a goddess descended from heaven.

Qian Zhaohuai is utterly despairing. "What did I do wrong? I'll fix it. Just don't promote me. Exile me instead!"
