Great Qian's Carefree Prince: Your Majesty, I Truly Don't Want to Rebel

After dying from overwork, modern-day office drone Lu Yuan transmigrated to the fictional Great Qian Dynasty and became the emperor's full brother, the Carefree Prince. With three commanderies as his fief and a monthly stipend of ten thousand taels, Lu Yuan only wanted to lie flat, enjoy fine wine and beautiful women, and live in a drunken haze. But treacherous officials at court wanted to make him their puppet and usurp imperial power; border princes wanted to use his name to raise an army and pursue their own schemes; and the northern wolf tribes saw him as an easy target and provoked him repeatedly. Though the tree seeks stillness, the wind will not cease. Just as everyone took the Carefree Prince for a useless fool they could push around, Lu Yuan was forced to activate the God-Tier Industrial System. Starting with improving farm tools and refining steel, he went on to develop repeating crossbows and cannons far ahead of their time, then built a fleet of airships that blotted out the sky and an Iron Pagoda army that swept across the grasslands. As he fought back, step by step Lu Yuan turned his fief into an impregnable industrial empire. He maneuvered between the imperial court and the martial world, won over all kinds of beautiful women, and ultimately, to the astonishment of the masses, reluctantly crushed every enemy.
