I'm So Incompetent, How Do I Hold the Throne? Plot:

Emperor Zhao Yan of the ancient dynasty was long dismissed as an incompetent ruler by his court, spending his days hunting, feasting and neglecting state affairs. Even his crown prince privately grumbled that the dynasty would fall under his rule. Yet whenever the empire faced existential crises—foreign invasions, empty treasuries or chaotic court factionalism—the drunk emperor would blurt out bizarre yet perfectly targeted decisions: a randomly selected general repelled the Xiongnu army, a random ancient book led to a famine relief plan that saved millions, and even a drunken rebuke exposed a corrupt official favorite. Staring blankly at his dragon throne, Zhao Yan wondered: "I'm clearly foolish, so why has my realm grown more stable than ever?"
