He was once the most despised prince of Great Chu, a lie-flat royal sent to a barren land, where he spent his days drinking fine wine. Everyone thought he would waste his life away.
Little did they know that his mind held a modern soul thousands of years ahead of the world!
When chaos engulfed the land and the other princes fretted over military funds, his fields of corn were already piled high as mountains;
When enemy forces reached the border and the capital was still using human bodies to build its defenses, his cement roads already stretched in every direction;
While court factions schemed and his brothers smugly indulged in their political games, he had already transformed his poor fief into an earthly paradise the whole world envied, using modern economics and an industrial system!
At the emperor’s call to defend the throne, he marched into the capital with two thousand “irregulars.”
The emperor was alarmed: Was he a loyal subject or an ambitious warlord?
His brothers were consumed by jealousy: Why should he be the only one in the spotlight?
The realm was shaken: Was Prince Huai a god or a demon?
Chu Zhiyuan spread his hands. “I only wanted to lie flat, but you all insisted on making me stand up.”
“Since that’s how it is, I’ll be the one to set this chaotic world right!”
Not bad, not bad
