The Iron-Capped Prince from a Humble Family

Li Zhengran, a history graduate from a top-tier university, met an untimely end during an archaeological expedition. His soul transmigrated to the ancient past, hundreds of years ago. But fate played a cruel trick on him: he possessed a member of the Nine-Surname Fisherfolk, branded as one of the “untouchables.”

In his youth, he endured a life of humiliation and hardship, experiencing every facet of human nature before finally seeing his fortunes turn.

He married a beautiful wife, passed the imperial examinations, and entered the Hanlin Academy. He fought treacherous ministers and powerful nobles, and even defied Heaven itself. He expanded the realm and brought blessings to countless people, turning the tide when all seemed lost and shoring up a crumbling empire. He served two emperors, ushered in a golden age, and was made a hereditary Prince of the Iron Cap rank despite not being of the imperial bloodline.
