Synopsis

Li Yi transmigrates into the past and becomes Li Shimin’s eldest grandson! He gets the Old Geezer Treasure Chest System, which binds him to Li Shimin. All he has to do is get under Old Li’s skin to trigger a treasure chest drop!

Li Yi: “Grandpa Emperor, do you want some chicken?”

Li Shimin: “Good grandson, Grandpa Emperor doesn’t eat any.”

Li Yi: “Then I’ll eat it!”

Li Shimin: “Good grandson, do you want some lychees?”

Li Yi: “Sure!”

Li Shimin: “Grandson, how have your studies been going lately?”

Li Yi: “Grandpa Emperor, how many times have I told you? You have to use my title when we’re out in public.”

Li Shimin: “Grandson, Grandpa Emperor is going to quiz you today! ‘To learn and then practice what you have learned,’ what comes next?”

Li Yi: “‘Is that not a pleasure?’ Too easy! Grandpa Emperor, let me quiz you, too!”

Li Shimin: “Go ahead, grandson!”

Li Yi: “How many times did the King of Qin run around the pillar?”

Li Shimin: “Grandson, if Grandpa Emperor were killed by someone especially powerful, would you avenge me?”

Li Yi: “The murder of a grandfather is an unforgivable crime! Grandpa Emperor, from today on, we’re no longer grandfather and grandson!”

Li Shimin: “Grandson, can the years I’ve ruled be called a golden age?”

Li Yi: “Grandpa Emperor, even if you turn the Zhenguan era into the greatest golden age the world has ever seen, the history books still won’t say you inherited the throne legitimately!”

Li Shimin: “???”

I’m losing it. This sixty-jin grandson is fifty-nine jin pure defiance!

Also known as The Tang Dynasty’s Eldest Imperial Grandson: Old Geezer, Drop Those Coins!, Tang Dynasty: My Good Grandson Is the Death of Grandpa Emperor!, and Tang Dynasty: I, the Eldest Imperial Grandson, Am a Little Devil!

The advantage is that the daily humor is quite interesting, but the disadvantage is that the plot is very familiar, like those novels where I, a deliveryman, repeatedly end up at crime scenes. The system gives you a skill, and you can immediately think of using that skill to show off and get humiliated next time.

Both the description and the plot are excellent. If you could use fewer words like "baby voice" and "cute," I'd give it five stars. Anyone who didn't know better would think those were the only two words you knew! 👍🤦 Okay, actually the plot isn't that great. I just wanted to trick you into watching it 😄

It's pretty funny, lots of jokes. But, even though my grandson is only six, I can't keep writing about him as "cute and adorable" with a "baby voice."

So far, it's pretty good, with lots of jokes and a pleasant read. It's just that there aren't enough jokes; it's easy to lose interest if you try to keep it going.

This is the best book I've read in the past year! Humorous and witty, with a brilliant writing style. The plot is clear and well-organized. The system is used appropriately and skillfully, without being overly forceful or prominent, yet perfectly executed. The writing is captivating, without filler or excessive padding, brilliant yet not crude! Excellent, excellent, excellent—far superior to those 9-point or 8-point books! Highly recommended.

Four stars, I'd say. It's very good and addictive. The interactions between grandfather and grandson are interesting, the plot is rich, and the character development is decent. Why four stars? Because I initially started reading this book, then couldn't resist finishing it, and then started reading it again.

I've read over 100 chapters. This book is purely for fun, full of jokes and gags. It's good as a lighthearted read, quite funny, with lots of references. As for the claim that it's an AI story, I personally don't think so. I don't think AI could possibly incorporate so many jokes into the story. Besides, there are a lot of risqué jokes 😏.

I'm giving it four stars because the humor is good, it's an alternate history story, and it's just a lighthearted read. The reason I'm not giving it five stars is that the author, or rather, most authors of works about time travel to Li Chengqian's era, have overlooked one thing: Li Shimin didn't love Li Chengqian.
