Cheoljong went from farming sweet potatoes on an island to being king of Joseon overnight

Cheoljong was literally a farmer on Ganghwa Island when the royal family ran out of heirs and someone said 'hey isn't there a distant royal relative digging potatoes somewhere?' They found him, brought him to the capital, put a crown on his head, and said 'you're the king now.' He had zero education, zero political training, and zero idea what was happening. The Andong Kim clan immediately turned him into a puppet king. He reportedly spent most of his reign confused and depressed. Died at 32. From sweet potatoes to the throne and back to nothing. It's the most accidental kingship in Joseon history.
