A modern elite transmigrates into the body of Yang Yong, the disgraced crown prince of the Sui Dynasty, and faces the threat of being deposed from the start. Using his advanced knowledge to crush the competition, he shocks the entire court by declaring, "Be the first to worry about the world's troubles, and the last to enjoy its pleasures." He revamps the Eastern Palace with KPIs and revolutionizes technology with gunpowder and perfume.
Reforming the imperial examinations fires up the common-born scholars. He establishes the Embroidered Uniform Guard to secretly control the court, while mahjong and cuju spark a nationwide craze. The aristocratic clans strike back? He tears away their hypocrisy with a public trial of a renowned Confucian scholar! The border is under attack? Cannons roar as he secures the empire!
From regent crown prince to emperor by abdication, he establishes a cabinet to dismantle the aristocratic clans, leads an eastward expedition across the sea to crush Japan, campaigns west into Central Asia for a decisive battle against the Arabs, and sails around the globe to explore the Americas. He settles diplomacy at the mahjong table, where the range of his cannons is the only truth. In the end, he builds an empire on which the sun never sets, planting the Sui banner across the world.
See how a modern soul plays the ancient game of power, crushing all opposition with technology, economics, and culture, wiping out the Japanese and Korean pests, and building an unprecedented golden age for the Great Sui!
