[Transmigrates as a child from the start + palace intrigue and political schemes + mystery + fantasy wuxia + jianghu + coming-of-age + no romance]
When modern office worker Lin Fan wakes up, he has become Xiao Jingyan, the most overlooked young prince in an ancient dynasty. His birth mother died early, his brothers eye him like predators, and his father has never once spared him a glance.
The palace is deep, and danger lurks in the shadows. An “accidental” fall into the water, a bout of “coincidental” illness: each reminds him that survival is never guaranteed.
Luckily, he has the soul of an adult who has been hardened by life. He doesn’t know martial arts or political strategy? Then he’ll find another way!
Starting from the neglected Liuli Garden, he builds a network of allies, gathers strength, and earns a good reputation. He only meant to keep his head down and protect himself, but before he knows it, his modern way of thinking is quietly changing everything...
See how an office worker finds his own path to power in the most extraordinary way, even when backed into a corner.
It's pretty good, but it feels a bit heavy. Come on! [Eat melon]
