Great Tang: The Laid-Back Prince Begs Li Er to Stop Overthinking

Li Ke transmigrates to the Tang dynasty and becomes Li Shimin's most inconspicuous ninth prince, bound to a “Slacker Sign-In System.”

He can grow stronger just by lazing around. Isn't this the absolute peak of life?

To stay out of the succession struggle and keep his life, Li Ke does his best to play the part of an uneducated good-for-nothing.

But his father, Li Shimin, the emperor of the ages, seems to have a screw loose!

At the Taiji Palace, Li Ke signs in and gets a [cement formula]. He turns around and presents it, saying, “Father, the furnace ash from my alchemy experiments works great for plastering walls.”

Looking at the impregnable fortress built overnight, Li Shimin's eyes fill with tears. “My son serves the nation at the cost of ruining his own reputation. A true pillar of the realm!”

At the Eastern Palace, Li Ke signs in and gets [high-yield potatoes]. He tosses them to the crown prince. “Big brother, these make pigs grow fast.”

Gazing at the mountain of provisions, Li Chengqian is so moved he chokes up. “My ninth brother is willing to bear the name of a wastrel just to secure my position as heir. This kindness is greater than the heavens!”

When Li Ke signs in at the border and gets [AK-47 blueprints], he's so scared that he stays up all night drawing a slingshot to hand in. Li Shimin takes the “Divine Fire Crossbow” and promptly tramples the Turkic royal court.

Returning victorious, Li Shimin grips his shoulder. “Son, stop pretending. The crown prince's position is yours!”

Li Ke: “No! I'm not! I didn't! Please stop imagining things! I just want to be a good-for-nothing!”
