Zhao Chuan transmigrates to an ancient world and becomes the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Great Xia Dynasty is in turmoil, beset by internal strife and outside threats. At home, his father the emperor is gravely ill, his maternal relatives meddle in government, and the feudal princes watch covetously. Beyond the borders, the Xiongnu and Khitan loom like wolves, eager to devour the Great Xia.
As crown prince, he takes charge of the state and works tirelessly to save the collapsing dynasty. Just as the nation grows prosperous and its people thrive, the jealous and talent-hating Emperor Zhao deposes the heir in favor of a younger son, stripping Zhao Chuan of everything that should have been his.
Fine. So that’s how you want to play it? Then I’m leaving.
Dejected, Zhao Chuan intends to retreat to the mountains and live as a carefree hermit, but unexpectedly awakens the Investment Rebate System, which lets him see other people’s fortunes.
The more exceptional a person’s talent, the greater the rewards the System gives in return.
As it happens, the aloof maid who follows him is actually a peerless prodigy.
“I gave her five strings of copper coins as a gift and received a System reward of ten thousand taels of gold.”
“I gave her the Xiaoxiang Sword Manual and received the Taixu Sword Manual as a System reward.”
Now they’re panicking, begging Zhao Chuan to come back and inherit the throne.
But Zhao Chuan won’t do it.
The throne? Who wants it? Give it to whoever you like! What’s it got to do with me?
