Overworked office drone Li Yuanle dies suddenly after working overtime and wakes up in the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan era, as Chang'an's notorious “good-for-nothing Third Young Master.”
He has no extraordinary talent, but his mind is full of modern ideas. He knows nothing of music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, yet he gets by in the Tang Dynasty with “viral marketing” and “workplace tricks.”
He sets up a street stall selling snacks and unexpectedly becomes a top-tier star in Chang'an. Forced to sit the imperial exams, he writes a “roast-style web novel” and is personally named the top scholar by Li Shimin. Then he joins the Ministry of Rites and turns solemn sacrifices into “fun-filled blessing events.”
With a band of “hapless pals” at his side, he opens a teahouse in the palace, stages ridiculous martial arts tournaments in the jianghu, and takes a stand-up comedy tour through Jiangnan, bringing warmth and laughter to the stuffy Tang Dynasty.
See how the strangest top scholar uses his wild ideas to sweep the Tang Dynasty and become the “High Priest of Happiness” adored by everyone!
