Great Tang: I Lie Flat and Introduce Constitutional Monarchy

Xiao Tianhe, a top student from the twenty-first century, transmigrates to the Tang dynasty in the ninth year of the Wude era after a car accident. All he wants is to open a little tavern and lie flat for the rest of his life. But ever since he meets Li Shimin, who is traveling incognito, he is drawn step by step into the political maelstrom. He wants to lie flat, but people keep forcing his hand. And when he sees the suffering of ordinary people, he wants to help. Who could have guessed that he would end up infringing on other people’s interests? When someone tries to kill him, he realizes that if he keeps lying flat, he might not even be able to protect himself. So he enters officialdom and, using the institutions of the Tang dynasty as cover, gradually pushes through reforms... Along the way, he makes countless enemies. Even Li Shimin, who supports him, repeatedly clashes with him over the reforms. After decades of hardship, he ultimately establishes a constitutional monarchy and locks humanity’s greatest scourge behind bars: unchecked power.
