Chen Mo dies from overwork, transmigrates as a Magistrate. Bound to the 'Ultimate Slacking System': slacking = rewards. He wants to be useless. His slacking boosts efficiency, making his county a top taxpayer, earning him 'Chen the Just'. Promoted from Magistrate to Commissioner to Minister of Revenue, Chen Mo gets further from freedom, trapped in an absurd cycle of getting promoted the more he slacks off. Wails in despair, forced to be a capable official.
