Transmigrate into the body of a useless prince? Then I'll build the mightiest Tang dynasty with my own hands!
Yun Qi, a double PhD from Yanjing University, transmigrates into the body of Li Hongmao, the supposedly “dim-witted” prince of Southern Tang during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He is only ten years old. The palace is riddled with deadly schemes, the realm is on the brink of chaos, and powerful enemies encircle the north. In history, Southern Tang fell after a mere fifteen years.
While everyone else fights for power and the throne, all he wants is to stay alive. But with engineering and science knowledge a thousand years ahead of its time, and foreknowledge of history, he secretly upgrades weapons, reforms agriculture, and establishes schools, maneuvering carefully through the palace's ever-shifting power struggles.
He makes brothers who would die for one another:
Han Zhong, master of the shadows, clears every obstacle to imperial power with his blade, but ultimately sets out on a path of self-sacrifice.
Lin Zhiyuan, a pure genius craftsman, devotes his life to technology and gives his life on the battlefield to defend the seeds of civilization.
Chen Xiao, who rises from valiant general to commander, remains loyal all his life, guarding his brothers' ideals to the very end.
From protecting himself to fighting for the throne, from ascending the throne to reforming the realm, from defending the borders to expanding them. Improved repeating crossbows roar across battlefields, equalized land taxes benefit the people, and workshops devoted to the study of things kindle the sparks of civilization. He is no longer merely a witness to history. He will become the one who writes it.
Unite the warring states, reclaim Yan and Yun, and build a new Tang dynasty unlike any the world has ever seen!
This is a story woven from passion, strategy, and deep devotion. Watch a modern soul use a scientific and engineering mindset to master the ancient art of political intrigue, with brotherhood as its backbone and the evolution of civilization as its soul, ending an age of chaos with his own hands and forging a realm of his own!
