I Just Wanted to Die, But Became an Eternal Emperor

share time: 2026-02-15 00:39:15

Lin Chuan, a modern office worker, travels back in time and becomes the dying emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty. He just wants to lie flat and die to return to the modern world, but every "suicide attempt" backfires spectacularly—his hunger strike uncovers a corruption case, his attempt to jump into the river saves Su Wantang, the assassinated prime minister's daughter, and even his "slacker" governance accidentally resonates with the people. Su Wantang sees through his "fake decadence" and deliberately plays along with his "death act." As they scheme against each other, they fall in love. Lin Chuan transforms from an emperor who wants to die to an eternal emperor who wants to protect both his kingdom and her, with sweet romance and reversals hiding mutual redemption and growth.
