I Just Wanted to Die, But Became an Eternal Emperor

I Just Wanted to Die, But Became an Eternal Emperor Plot:

Emperor Li Zhao of Daqi wished for his “death” on his ascension day—left with a decaying empire riddled with corrupt officials and border crises, he planned to slack off until ministers forced him to abdicate. But every “reckless” move backfired positively: Cutting palace banquet costs accidentally funded disaster relief, dumping border issues on an old general inspired him to recapture lost lands, and faking illness to skip court was misinterpreted as “grief for the nation,” making people pray for his recovery. When he finally gathered courage to write the abdication edict, cheers of “Long live the Emperor” erupted outside—his “slacking” had turned Daqi into a golden age, and him into the “eternal emperor” the people worshipped.
