You Told Me to Play the Fool, So I Drove the Third Prince Mad

After transmigrating, modern actor Li Xun became the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household in the Great Qing Dynasty, but he was a “fool” known to everyone in the capital.

He was a corpse from the start.

He thought he could lie flat and enjoy the life of a spoiled young master, but the original owner had landed him in serious trouble by beating up a prince.

Faced with an emperor skilled in political maneuvering, factional strife at court, ambitious princes, and powerful civil officials, Li Xun made a decisive choice: keep pretending to be a fool!

He used outrageous antics as a “blessed simpleton” to make himself impossible to ignore, while quietly using modern knowledge to find a way out.

He solved mathematical puzzles and drove eminent scholars into a fury, brewed potent “knife-burning” liquor that stunned the court, and stirred up a storm in the capital...

Though every step seemed madness, he had a plan behind it.

He didn’t want to be merely a chess piece. He wanted to be the one moving the pieces.

The emperor saw him as a pawn to keep the balance of power. The crown prince wanted to recruit him as an ally, while Second Prince Zhao Yu wanted him dead.

All Li Xun wanted was this: “Don’t mess with me. I just want to spare my old man some worry, and make a little pocket money for meat and wine!”

Watch as this “fool” uses modern thinking to shake up the ancient court, defuses deadly threats amid laughter and chaos, and sets the whole realm in turmoil while playing the madman!
