I Just Wanted Hot Pot, But You Forced Me to Rebel

Lu Zhe was an ordinary corporate slave trapped in the relentless grind of 996 work culture, burdened by crushing mortgage payments and a future devoid of hope. After dying from overwork, he awakens in the Great Yan Dynasty as Lu Shi’an, the Vice General of the Yuyang Camp, commanding thirty thousand troops. Believing his transmigration to be a divine blessing, Lu Shi’an intends to embrace a life of leisure. With a generous salary and no modern pressures, he plans to enjoy hot pot every day, sip wine with roasted meat, and live out his days in comfortable stagnation. However, his desire for a peaceful, laid-back existence is shattered when he becomes a pawn in dangerous political schemes. Targeted by the Emperor’s calculations and the traps set by feudal princes, he realizes that everyone seeks to use him as a stepping stone to power. With the path to idleness blocked, Lu Shi’an is left with no choice but to draw his sword. To protect his life and his beloved meals, he will turn against the court and shake the foundations of the Weiyang Palace.
