Modern-day overworked office worker Li Tai wakes up to find himself reborn as Li Tai, Prince of Wei, in the Zhenguan era of the Tang dynasty. Faced with the tides of history and the undercurrents of palace intrigue, he has just one dream: refuse to compete in the rat race, lie flat in peace, and live as a carefree nobleman!
Fortunately, the [Myriad Worlds Sign-in System] arrives right on schedule. Potatoes, chili peppers, advanced steelmaking techniques, even Hua Tuo and Bian Que can all be obtained through sign-ins. And so, history's most laid-back prince begins his unconventional path to saving the country.
He presents the Zhenguan chair and promotes stir-frying, all to improve people's lives. He finds clever ways to resolve locust plagues and saves renowned ministers, all to keep the court harmonious. He secretly offers divine seeds, powerful weapons, and strategies for building a strong army, all to ensure the Tang dynasty endures. Every unprecedented achievement, he cheerfully credits to his father, Emperor Li Shimin, and his elder brother, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, steadfastly following his principle of “hiding his merits and keeping his name out of it.”
His goal has always been clear: help his father and brother become sage rulers for the ages, and propel the Tang dynasty to greatness. Once peace reigns and a golden age arrives, he will retire after completing his mission and become the most carefree and contented idle prince, admiring the realm's vast landscapes and savoring life's simple pleasures.
See how a modern soul who only wants to lie flat uses a sign-in System to quietly rewrite history and forge a legend amid the turbulent Zhenguan era, all while laughing and chatting, and ultimately achieves the leisurely life he has always dreamed of.
What? This is suffering from persecution paranoia. Do you know how Li Tai was demoted? It was entirely because of his evil uncle.
