Transmigrated in ancient times:- why do authors do this?

It's more of a rant/vent than spoiler.

Being an avid danmei reader and recently more into the Ancient China Ger genre enthusiast, I want to ask all the authors:- Why must you drag a perfectly peaceful MC into politics/court!??? Even when the stories start as MC being described as peace loving not ambitious, fresh out of apocalypse life just wanting peace, the situation towards the end force them towards court life which might be romantised and all but we know it's bs busy life full of restrictions. You cannot have the carefree moments with ML like in countryside in palace now.

It's my unpopular opinion but I don't want my MCs to aim so high that they forget the main motive of the drama. It happened continuously in this Ancient Ger genre so much. Having read current 10 novels with same premise, the MC eventually end up becoming either the king and it's the ML. Why can't they live happily in village or even as a side governor! Why must they all have to abide by restrictions in palace life.

It's just a trend or what I see in authors always making the MC have the highest power and it primarily draws from those shonen straight MC wanting just power/authority.

This rant is just after reading "Transmigrated in ancient times as a hunter" the MC is a seme transmigrated from his original world of post apocalyptic times just wanting peace and daily life with his beloved and he wanted to stay away from unnecessary social work but author made MLs' past background so that MC was practically forced to become the Emperor!

It's my own opinion/ rant but please I want a peaceful slice of life danmei that's true to slice of life genre!!!

What are all your intanst drop off moments in the novels? That make you uninterested and make it difficult to finish the novel.
