Li Beichen transmigrated into another world and found himself in a prestigious position: the sixth prince of the Great Yong Dynasty.
But from the start, it was hell mode: 38,000 in debt, a palace cleaner than his face, and palace intrigue skills about as effective as a punching bag.
Li Beichen promptly chose to lie flat. “Contending for the throne? Palace intrigue? No thanks. I just want to be a quiet, handsome couch potato.”
But there were always troublemakers trying to harm him!
Faced with schemes closing in from all sides, Li Beichen had no choice but to put a little modern knowledge to use:
Locust plague? He held a “Deep-Fried Locust Food Festival” that left his opponents questioning everything.
Empty national treasury? He issued a “Royal Lottery,” with the grand prize being “Dinner with the Sixth Prince.”
Powerful nobles setting him up? He founded the “Beichen Guard” to deal with anyone who gave him trouble.
Foreign invasion? He quietly brought out the steam engine, cannons, and the principles of economics...
Before long, his couch-potato squad had become:
The sharp-tongued medical sage, Gu Changsheng: “Your Highness, if you keep trying to get yourself killed, I’ll have no choice but to test my new medicine on you.”
His attention-seeking brother-in-law, Shen Qingfeng: “I’ll fight anyone you point at, big brother! ...Wait, my sister’s here. I’m out!”
The cold-faced bodyguard, Yan Shisan: “Your Highness, shall I kill him?” (A man of very few words.)
The tech geek, Mo Qianji: “Your Highness, the ‘automatic dishwasher’ you requested is ready. Though right now, it can only blast the dishes to pieces...”
Just as he turned the Cold Palace into a tech park, the imperial court into a roast session, and tricked enemy nations into building a new Silk Road...
His chuunibyou emperor father on the Dragon Throne could no longer sit still. “My son Beichen, I was thinking this throne...”
Terrified, Li Beichen fled overnight, hauling a train along with him. “No! Father! My dream is the stars and the sea... and counting money while lying down!”
