Zhenguan: From Deposed Crown Prince to Heavenly Khan

An overworked office drone dies suddenly from working overtime and wakes up as Li Chengqian, Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest legitimate son of Li Shimin, named heir at the age of eight. Unfortunately, the history books tell a grim tale: a lame foot, a father who dislikes him, a younger brother, Li Tai, coveting his position, and ministers who keep their distance. In the end, he's deposed for treason and dies in despair.

Luckily, his golden finger may be late, but it has arrived. The Ancient Heroes Extraction System lets him fuse with the souls of heroes from five thousand years of Chinese history. Heal his leg? Fuse with Hua Tuo's medical arts, and a month of golden needles and medicinal baths will have him walking without a cane. Lift a cauldron? Fuse with Li Cunxiao's strength, and hoist a three-hundred-jin bronze cauldron overhead with one hand. Maneuver at court? Fuse with Zhang Liang's strategies, and his opponents won't even see his next move coming.

Xiahou Dun's iron will, Cao Shen's statecraft, Jia Sixie's art of ensuring good harvests...

The once-deposed crown prince is transforming at an astonishing pace. Li Shimin begins to see his son in a new light, and ministers rush to switch sides. Meanwhile, the forces behind the scenes, secretly orchestrating arson, false reports, and a string of impeachment charges, have finally drawn the attention of eyes far too calm for a twelve-year-old.

The imperial seal for acting as regent has just been bestowed. The real show is only beginning.
