The Tang Dynasty’s Tumultuous Times: I Don’t Want to Be Emperor

Su Ran, an outstanding archaeologist, devoted his life to studying the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty. During an excavation of a mysterious ancient tomb, he accidentally triggered an ancient mechanism and was instantly swept into a vortex of time by a powerful force.

When Su Ran opened his eyes again, he discovered that he had transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty and become Li Shimin's illegitimate son. Because of the power struggles at court, he was secretly sent out of the palace soon after birth and left to grow up among ordinary people.

Life among the common people was harsh, but Su Ran survived through sheer determination and intelligence. He was studious from a young age. Though he received no formal education, his knowledge of history taught him many principles of governing a country and bringing peace to its people.
