Lu Yan, a modern social animal, dies suddenly after working overtime and enters an ancient palace battle novel. He becomes cannon fodder with the same name and surname in the book and cannot survive more than three chapters - Lu Yan, the useless prince of the Dayin Dynasty.
The original owner was the legitimate son of the queen, but he was born weak and had no ideas. He was regarded as useless by the princes and used as a stepping stone by the concubines in the harem. Finally, he died quietly after falling into the water in an "accident" without even leaving a posthumous title.
Lu Yan looked at his pale and thin face in the bronze mirror, and then thought about the tragic ending of being "slipped", "poisoned" and "scapegoated" in the book, and decided to change his life hard:
- Palace fight? He doesn't understand, but he understands human nature. The concubine's smile hides a knife, and the prince's hypocrisy and submissiveness are all variants of PUA in the workplace in his eyes.
- Good-for-nothing? He admits it, but he has a brain. Use modern knowledge to improve your physique, use logical thinking to dismantle conspiracies, treat the harem as a "workplace", the prince as a "competition", and the emperor as the "biggest boss".
- Survival goal? Live to the end and see if these ancients can come up with some new tricks as they fight.
But he didn't expect that he originally just wanted to survive, but step by step he became the "dark horse" that the princes were afraid of; he originally stayed away from the palace fights, but after being involved, he discovered that the most ruthless calculations hid the truest helplessness; and the cold noble concubine in the book who was supposed to finally get married to the prince, looked at him, and seemed to have gradually deviated from the plot...
