Synopsis

[Historical what-if + Transmigration + Sky Screen + feel-good power fantasy + Alternate history]

The Thirteenth Prince of the Great Yong dynasty only wants to take his mother consort to his fief and live a carefree life. But then a sky screen suddenly appears over Chang'an, livestreaming the life and rise of an emperor for the ages every day.

At first, he thinks it is just someone else's spectacle, until the sky screen shows a boy sneaking off to play Gomoku with his study companion, cheating at archery against his cousin, and telling his mother consort, “Let's go see the peach blossoms in Jiangnan.” Why do these scenes look exactly like his everyday life?

All of Chang'an is guessing who the “emperor” is. Ambitious princes are raring to go, loyal ministers and veteran generals are watching in secret, and even a reborn woman, a transmigrated woman, and the true and false heirs get caught up in the intrigue stirred up by the sky screen.

Li Yan panics: Stop calling me that! That unlucky emperor isn't me!

But the sky screen won't listen. Today it shows him rescuing an eagle, tomorrow it depicts him winning an argument with a foreign envoy, and the day after that it previews his accession to the throne. Worse still, reality keeps mirroring the story with uncanny precision. The farther he runs, the closer he gets to being pushed into the spotlight.

In the end, looking at the civil and military officials kneeling at his feet and his worried loved ones, Li Yan sighs. “Fine, I'll give being emperor a try. If I do a good job, I'll still find time to see the peach blossoms... right?”

Looking for Stories with a Sky Screen, an Eternal Emperor, and a Family Tree

Trying to find a book. All I remember is that the male lead is incredibly strong and believes that if you can't solve a problem, you should deal with the person causing it. After the sky screen revealed the truth, he was named crown prince. When investigating corrupt officials, he worked his way through the family tree, killing everyone from top to bottom.
