Li Xiao, an ordinary young man from the modern era, drowned while trying to save someone. To his astonishment, he transmigrated more than a thousand years into the past, to the Tang Dynasty, and took over the body of Li Xiao, son of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Prince Xu.
It is the third year of Qianfeng. Wu Meiniang already holds power in her hands, Zhangsun Wuji is dead, and Chu Suiliang has been demoted. The Wu clan is beginning to rise, and as a prince of the Li family, Li Xiao's life is in constant danger. How can a modern young man outwit a future empress?
Unwilling to die, he has no choice but to fight back. He goes from desperately avoiding danger to facing it bravely, and restores the Tang Dynasty to glory. When he stands in the Taiji Hall, he declares proudly, “The Tang Dynasty of today is no less than it was during the Zhenguan era!”
