Great Tang: I Just Want to Cultivate Immortality, but the Sky Screen Edited Me

Li Xian transmigrates into the Tang Dynasty and becomes Wu Zetian’s son, the cowardly emperor who ascended the throne twice in history. Knowing how brutal the struggle for imperial power can be, he has no interest in becoming emperor. In this world thin on spiritual energy, he only wants to use the royal family’s fortune to cultivate in secret and live forever.

He binds himself to the “Keep a Low Profile and Live Forever System.” On the surface, he is meek and obedient before his mother, Wu Zetian, and does whatever his younger sister, Princess Taiping, asks. He lets others push him around, while in secret he frantically absorbs the Tang Dynasty’s national fortune and advances by leaps and bounds.

Just as he prepares to fake his death and escape the vortex of power for good, free to roam the world, the sky screen descends!

The opening feature: [The Ten Greatest Masterminds of All Time]!

Wu Zetian watches with interest. “Oh? Let’s see who can manipulate people better than I can!”

One historical figure after another is featured, from Shang Yang to Wang Mang.

Until the top name is revealed! [Usurper of the Heavenly Dao: Saint Shouzhuo, Li Xian]!

On the sky screen, Li Xian stands above the nine heavens, one hand pressing down on a Buddhist golden body and one foot on a Daoist Heavenly Venerable. Behind him, a golden dragon formed from the entire Tang Dynasty’s dragon veins coils in the air! He sighs, “Without becoming an immortal, you’re still an ant. Imperial power is like a passing cloud to me...”

Wu Zetian is dumbfounded. “Th-this is my meek and obedient eldest son!?”

Li Xian: “No! Don’t expose me! I just want to quietly become an immortal!”
