The Useless Prince: All My Retainers Are Fifteenth-Realm Powerhouses

Three years after transmigrating, Li Xiao has become the most useless prince in the Great Zhou: his meridians are shattered, and he can't cultivate.

But he takes it in stride. So what if he's useless? His residence is staffed by over a thousand “ordinary people”: Old Wang, the gatekeeper; Old Zhang, the accountant; Old Li, the drunk; Grandpa Sun, the herb gatherer; Master Lu, the woodworker... They're all gifts from the System, and life as a lazy fish is wonderful.

Until one day, his father the emperor vanishes into thin air along with the entire court.

Li Xiao is stunned. Did they run away? They left me here all alone?

A System notification appears: [Mission issued: Serve as regent and govern the realm for three years.]

Grumbling, Li Xiao leads his “ordinary people” into the imperial palace.

What he doesn't know is this:

Old Li, the drunk, can summon celestial phenomena with his poetry. He's a thirteenth-realm Confucian sage.

Old Wang, the gatekeeper, can wipe out a hundred thousand enemy troops with a thousand old and infirm soldiers. He's a fourteenth-realm master of military strategy.

Old Zhang, the accountant, can double the imperial treasury in three months. He's a thirteenth-realm Legalist.

And the six “maids” in the rear courtyard, Diao Chan, Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Yang Yuhuan, Zhao Feiyan, and Zhen Mi, are all peerlessly beautiful and at the fourteenth realm.

They all know their master is “experiencing mortal life,” so they just need to play along.

Only Li Xiao has no idea.

He's still fretting over the million-strong coalition of five nations, worrying that someone might set their sights on the six girls, and figuring out where to run if they lose.

Meanwhile, trapped in a secret realm, the emperor and his officials watch the scenes unfold in a mirror of water. They're utterly dumbfounded.

Just how many “ordinary people” is that useless prince hiding?
