Protagonist: Li Xiaoyao, whose name practically comes with the aura of a carefree emperor. He is 25 years old and works as a construction-site technician. At first, he's quick-witted, cheeky, and has a strong sense of justice deep down, but he's also lecherous and easily enamored. As his cultivation improves, his presence grows more imposing, and he radiates an irresistible charisma that makes him seem like a born leader.
Core golden finger: The Yellow Emperor's Heart Sutra. This supreme method was left behind by the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan before his ascension. It contains not only cultivation techniques, but also the Art of the Imperial Harem, strategies for governing a nation, military tactics and formations, medicine, divination, astrology, and other arts of rulership.
- Cultivation System: The Yellow Emperor's Heart Sutra is the guiding canon, and cultivation takes place in dreams. Each breakthrough brings a dramatic increase in strength and naturally awakens an imperial trait, such as discernment, the ability to command subordinates, or a kingly and domineering aura.
- Core Conflict: The growing "imperial nature" within him clashes with the rules of modern society, and he must reconcile the two. His grand ambition to sweep away the world's corruption is also bound up with the ties of love and romance.
