[Is this really not an unconventional comedy...?]
After transmigrating into the body of a prince of Great Qian, Zhao Zheng only wants to be an idle vassal prince.
But why do strategists and mighty generals like Zhuge An, Guan Fei, and Zhao Long keep showing up on his doorstep?
With the realm divided among three kingdoms, he had planned to eat, drink, and wait for death. So why does nobody understand him, and why are a bunch of famous generals and strategists constantly stabbing him in the back, until he somehow unifies the realm and becomes an emperor for the ages?
Zhao Zheng: "I really don't want to be emperor!"
Emperor Zhao of Qian: "I have absolutely no interest in money or power!"
Emperor Zhao of Qian: "My biggest regret is founding the Great Qian Empire..."
Consort Lan: "My son has what it takes to be a great emperor!"
Taiji Sage Emperor: "When will the Ninth Prince finally rebel?"
Fan Jian, historian of an enemy kingdom: "Emperor Qian is cold and heartless. He'll stop at nothing to achieve his ends!"
[This is a sufficiently serious (joyful) historical (comedy) novel.]
