Blood splattered across Xuanwu Gate. Li Xuanming, Crown Prince of a fallen dynasty, was reborn as a modern college student named Lin Xuan. Once a master strategist who moved the pieces of history, he has fallen to the bottom of modern society. Will the schemes and statecraft he once took pride in still serve him in this jungle of steel and concrete?
He soon discovers that this world is far stranger than he imagined. His knowledge of antiques helps him spot hidden treasures and grow rich, but it also draws the ire of mysterious forces. A policewoman he casually rescues relentlessly investigates the origins of his skills. More terrifying still, the multinational company CEO he glimpsed across the room at an auction has the exact same face as the beloved woman who betrayed him in his previous life!
The shattered jade pendant he carries begins to stir, and whispers from a thousand years ago echo in his ears. Li Xuanming realizes that his rebirth was no accident: it is part of a plot laid in motion a thousand years ago. This time, he is no longer a crown prince living for his country and its people. He will live for himself, wielding the unparalleled wisdom of the ancients to reclaim the throne in this new age!
