Overworked office drone Lin Yi dies suddenly after working overtime, only to wake up as the most useless of the Tianwu dynasty’s nine princes, Xiao Yu.
He lives in the cold palace, ignored by everyone. After the crown prince beats him half to death, he is left there to die.
Just as he thinks he’s about to starve, a mechanical voice rings out in his mind:
[Wise Ruler System activated! Complete System missions by helping good officials in trouble solve their problems, and you’ll earn rewards and the loyalty of your subordinates. Fail a mission, and your treatment will be downgraded!]
Lin Yi looks at his current “condemned prisoner in the cold palace” treatment and nearly breaks down. If it gets any worse, will he simply be put to death?
To stay alive, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and start completing missions.
