Li Ergou, a modern special forces soldier, was ambushed while pursuing drug traffickers and unexpectedly transmigrated into the role of Li Chengqian, the “self-destructive crown prince” of the seventeenth year of the Zhenguan era: the unlucky historical figure who limped, plotted a rebellion, and was eventually deposed.
Facing Li Tai’s struggle for the throne and Hou Junji’s schemes, he uses modern military knowledge and combat skills to defeat conspiracies with open tactics: training new recruits and cutting off the Turks’ supplies, he stuns Emperor Taizong; winning over civil officials and cultivating military commanders, he consolidates the Eastern Palace’s power. He even puts history’s regrets right, bringing Wu Zetian of Ganye Temple and the future literary talent Shangguan Wan’er into his harem. The thrills keep coming as he stages a comeback, ascends the throne, and reshapes the golden age of the Tang dynasty!
