Description
In the fifteenth year of the Chenghua Dynasty, the usurper Ning Chen finally died. The youngest left minister since the founding of the dynasty, his power extended over all the realm, and his methods were as ruthless as his heart. He formed a party around himself in order to extend his private interests, and assassinated loyal ministers who resisted his cause. In the end, a thousand arrows pierced his heart before the royal palace, and he died. At that moment, Emperor Li Wuting was standing before the palace, gazing down at him as if he were nothing more than an ant. The night after Ning Chen died, Li Wuting reincarnated to the day he took the throne. In his last life, he put his trust in an obsequious official, causing chaos in his court. This time, he resolved to strangle the problem in the cradle. *** When Ning Rushen transmigrated from the modern era, it was the first year of the Chenghua Dynasty, and the new emperor was ascending to the throne. In the solemn court, he saw the emperor who had just taken his place walk down the hall until he came to a stop before him. Killing intent surfaced in the depths of his eyes. Ning Rushen, who had just transmigrated: …What’s wrong? Seeing a swift slap about to land on him, Ning Rushen suddenly fell to his feet before the eyes of the court! His face was as pale as snow, and the corners of his eyes were red, like a delicate little white flower swaying before the wind. The officials cried, “Your Majesty, have mercy!” The new emperor, Li Wuting, who hadn’t even touched him: ??? Ning Rushen wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes and let out a little sob: This official is so weak. Li Wuting smiled. What a wonderfully obsequious official 🙂 *** Afterwards, Li Wuting slowly discovered that this delicate flower was not only fresh, but also rather sweet at its core.

My Thoughts on This Official Is So Weak
This historical comedy promised a lighthearted escape, and for the most part, it delivered. "This Official Is So Weak" is a story that aims to charm with its humor and fluffy romance, but I feel it falls slightly short of its full potential.
First Impressions
I was initially drawn in by the premise: a transmigration into the body of a hated official, coupled with a reborn emperor seeking to thwart him. The comedic potential was immediately apparent, and the early chapters did not disappoint. The misunderstandings and the blossoming relationship between the MC and ML were genuinely funny.
What Works Well
The core strength of this novel lies in its comedic elements and the sweet, slow-burn romance. I really enjoyed the "sand sculpture" moments, where the characters' antics and the surrounding cast's misinterpretations created laugh-out-loud situations. The MC and ML had a delightful chemistry, with their feelings developing gradually and organically. I especially appreciated the ML's desire to let the MC develop his ambitions independently, rather than confining him to a traditional "empress" role. It was a refreshing take on the power dynamics.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the translation quality is a significant issue. I found myself frequently stumbling over awkward phrasing, pronoun mix-ups, and instances where the meaning felt lost in translation. This definitely detracted from my overall enjoyment.
I also felt that the plot wasn't the strongest aspect of the story. It's fairly light and straightforward, and the conflicts that do arise are often resolved too easily. The MC's characterization also felt inconsistent at times. He was initially portrayed as clever and cunning, but these traits seemed to fade as the story progressed, only to reappear sporadically.

Final Verdict
"This Official Is So Weak" is a fun, fluffy read that's best suited for those who prioritize comedy and romance over a complex plot or intricate world-building. If you're willing to overlook the translation issues and some inconsistencies in characterization, you'll likely find it an enjoyable and lighthearted escape. I'd recommend going into this knowing that it's more "slice of life" than a deep or intricate story.
