As the King of Wu in the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke was reduced to a marginal prince in the battle for the throne due to the shackles of his former dynasty's bloodline since he was a child.
With both civil and military skills, he had no ambitions but could only be cautious. He struggled to survive in the open and secret fights between the prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai, and his ambitions had nowhere to display.
Just when he thought he would be unknown for the rest of his life, he was accidentally bound to the "Emperor's Mind System" and his life path was completely rewritten.
His photographic memory skills allowed him to read extensively and advance his knowledge by leaps and bounds, and his ability to see into people's hearts helped him see through conspiracies and avoid traps in the treacherous court.
Faced with the scrutiny and temptations of his father, Li Shimin, he offered good water transport strategies to rescue the victims with rewards, gradually overturning prejudices and winning trust; when faced with the suspicion and suppression of the Crown Prince and the King of Wei, he calmly responded with his extraordinary resourcefulness and system assistance, and continued to accumulate strength in the confrontation.
From the marginal prince who was ignored by everyone to the key figure who stirred up the chaos in the court, from the cautious and tolerant dormancy to the strong rise of the sharp edge, Li Ke wrote his own legend on the stage of Zhenguan's prosperous age.
Can he break through the shackles of his bloodline and have the last laugh in the battle for the throne? How will Datang open a new chapter? A drama about intrigue, growth and counterattack is slowly beginning during the Zhenguan years.
