Modern-day young man Li Pao died suddenly after staying up all night studying tactics for a one-versus-five showdown in the Canyon.
He opened his eyes to find that his soul had transmigrated into Li Chengqian, crown prince of the Tang dynasty, in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.
At that very moment, He Gan Chengji had exposed a conspiracy to rebel, and the Eastern Palace was already surrounded by imperial guards.
Li Shimin's angry scolding still rang in his ears, and the executioner's blade was about to fall.
This was the most perilous crisis of Li Chengqian's life, and the starting line for Li Pao's fight to survive.
Having watched countless lectures on history, Li Pao remembered the story.
Li Chengqian had grown insecure because of his limp, while Li Tai coveted his position as heir. In the end, he took the path of rebellion, was deposed and exiled, and died in despair.
Now danger was closing in.
Ahead lay Li Shimin's thunderous fury; behind him, Li Tai pressed his advantage at every turn. At his side were useless allies like Hou Junji, dragging him down.
In this desperate situation, watch Li Pao turn the tables
and forge a path to his own glorious Tang dynasty.
