After waking up one day, office worker Zhu Yu discovered that he had transmigrated into the ninth prince of the Great Jing Dynasty: a position of great prestige, with the emperor's favor firmly upon him.
Before he could even celebrate, the sign-in System that had come with his transmigration poured cold water on him. This world was a dangerous whirlpool where the plots of Dream of the Red Chamber, The Story of Minglan, Love Like the Galaxy, and many other stories had become entangled!
Palace intrigue? Political scheming? Family feuds? A nightmare for fans of the original stories?
Sorry, but after spending his previous life working himself bald as a 996 wage slave, all he wanted in this life was to lie flat and enjoy himself!
To avoid getting caught up in the capital's troubles, Zhu Yu promptly requested permission to leave the city and continue his studies at Bailu Academy in Yangzhou.
During three years of keeping a low profile, he used the System's sign-ins to quietly amass astonishing wealth and influence. He also happened to become Lin Ruhai's disciple, and a single antidote pill changed his teacher's fate.
But the world would not let him enjoy his peace.
When the three years were up, the Jia family was just about to bring Lin Daiyu to the capital.
Knowing that this was where the tragedy of Dream of the Red Chamber began, Zhu Yu looked at the orphaned girl beside him, now his junior sister, whose fate had quietly begun to change, and sighed.
“Very well. I'll take care of this, then!”
A senior brother is not just a title!
And so the ninth prince, Zhu Yu, “completed his studies” and returned to the capital by imperial decree.
With the vast resources he'd accumulated through three years of sign-ins, perhaps a few martial arts bodyguards, and more money than he could ever spend, he set out to escort his junior sister Lin Daiyu back to the capital.
The capital was a whirlpool of schemes and intrigue.
The Rongguo House's machinations? Jia Baoyu's tears? Wang Xifeng's scheming?
The Sheng family's domestic battles? Gu Tingye's adventures in the martial world? Cheng Shaoshang's troubles?
And the undercurrents swirling through the imperial palace and the court...
Zhu Yu's response: No big deal.
Sign in, and all your troubles are gone!
