CompletedQin Yuan was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but the female emperor was a昏君 (enlightened monarch in reverse, meaning a foolish ruler). He had no choice but to idle away his days, his body in court but his heart at home, missing his beautiful, newlywed wife.
He never expected that the female emperor and his new wife would swap bodies. The female emperor heard all of his private complaints and suggestions.
"Not enough relief grain? Mix in sand and rice husks! It's useless if the disaster victims eat well; all they want is to survive!"
"Feudatory kings rebelling? Simple, an Enactment of Grace is enough!"
"Can't afford to pay the feudatory kings' stipends? Simple, 'Great Navigation' and plunder from others!"
"Productivity—the ability to grow food!"
"This silly woman has consumed who knows how many heavy metal elixirs; she won't live much longer!"
These secret complaints and suggestions were all implemented in the imperial court. From then on, Great Zhou enjoyed national peace and prosperity, and all nations came to pay tribute.
Qin Yuan realized there was a mole beside him. One day, when Qin Yuan was at court, facing the empress, Empress Yan Jiaoran walked up to him and subconsciously called out, "Husband..."
Ah, so... the mole has been found! This novel is also known as: "Husband (Please) Receive the Decree", "Madam, I Don't Want to Enter the Palace", "I'm Torn Between the Female Emperor and My Wife", and "Lying Flat and Idling, Yet the Female Emperor Takes Advantage of Me for Free".
