Synopsis

Transmigrating into the day of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Lin Mo knows right away that he's in serious trouble.

The crown prince is dead, the emperor has abdicated, and Wei Zheng is about to lose his head.

The entire court kneels before Li Shimin, whose eyes are blazing with murderous fury.

Lin Mo grits his teeth and pulls the Guide to Public Relations in the Zhenguan Era from his robes:

“Your Majesty, killing a remonstrating official costs you followers. Build your image, and you'll become a legend. Want to be an emperor for the ages? I'll teach you how.”

From then on, Li Shimin sets off down the point of no return of “self-promotion.”

He reflects on himself three times each day and writes a diary more saintly than a sage's.

The harsher Wei Zheng's criticism, the more rewards he gets, until Li Shimin turns “being scolded” into the highest-rated reality show around.

Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin... every big shot in court becomes one of his “pawns.”

Then another transmigrator appears, ready to take his job and wipe out his entire family.

Lin Mo hands him a copy of the Tang Dynasty's New Imperial Examination Practice Test:

“Shouldn't you take a postgraduate entrance exam before transmigrating? Come on, fill in the blank: In 649 AD, who launched the ___ Incident?”

The other transmigrator: ???
