Everyone Wants Me to Save the World, but I Really Am the Mastermind

[No Female Lead + Pseudo-Mastermind]

Awakening from a deep slumber, he finds himself back in Guixu, the domain he abandoned to laze around and leave others in charge.

His subordinates barely bother to work and clock out the moment their shifts end. When he asks who came up with the idea, they all deny responsibility, each with a perfectly good excuse.

Vase Woman: "My lord, you know me. I don't usually leave when my shift ends. I look for ways to take time off or leave early."

Butcher: "My lord, you know me. I'm just a cook. I could never come up with an idea like that."

Apothecary: "My lord, you know me. If it were up to me, I'd have my test subjects fill in for me. I never show up to work in person, so clocking out on time has nothing to do with me."

With no other choice, he has to step in and set things straight himself. He enters the present-day world, infiltrates an organization, and lands himself a minor post. The only problem is, he might have done his job a little too well.

He Piaojian: "Daoyi, there might be a mole in the organization. We're the only two left, and I suspect it's me!"

Fan Daoyi: "Is it possible that I really am the mole?"

He Piaojian waves both hands and declares with absolute conviction, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You're the world's hope for salvation!"

Everyone is pushing him to become a savior, leaving the man himself genuinely baffled.

Wait, you all want me to save the world? But I really am the mastermind! Why won't anyone believe me?

Playing a hundred roles, commanding a thousand faces,

Deceiving others and myself, making fools of gods and ghosts.

My name is Daoyi, Fan Daoyi.
