Zhu Zhanhe transmigrates into the Ming dynasty as the heir of the Prince of Han, but his mind is also home to five great figures: Xiang Yu the Conqueror, Zhang Liang the Master Strategist, Bai Qi the Butcher, Huo Qubing the Champion Marquis, and Li Shimin the Heavenly Khan! He plans to rely on their wisdom to keep himself alive, but his father, Zhu Gaochi, is a master of courting disaster. To keep his whole family from being cooked into "clay-pot chicken," Zhu Zhanhe can only pull strings in secret, helping his father take up his fief in Le'an and stay clear of trouble in the capital.
He thinks he's hidden his hand perfectly, but during an early morning court session, the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di suddenly calls on him from the Dragon Throne: "Zhanhe, what do you think of moving the capital to Beiping?" The assembled officials exchange bewildered glances. Zhu Zhanhe is stunned. Why would his imperial grandfather ask a "frail and mediocre" grandson such a question? What he doesn't know is that Zhu Di possesses a "Life Simulator" and has already seen through him: Zhu Zhanhe is the real mastermind behind the Prince of Han's rebellion!
