[Transmigration]+ [System]+ [Ancient setting]+ [Two-faced personality]+ [Brashness and cowardice in contrast]
Li Zhiwen transmigrates into the least noticeable of Great Jing’s eight princes. He only wants to bind himself to a two-faced System, lie flat, make money, and stay far away from court intrigue.
But trouble keeps coming for him:
He beats up a diplomatic envoy and stumbles upon a major treason case involving the princess royal;
He monopolizes the illicit salt trade and exposes Jiangnan’s powerful clans for colluding with the Tartars;
He improves iron smelting and tears the lid off a vassal prince’s scheme to smuggle iron.
The emperor treats him like a blade, the officials like a spear, and everyone wants to force him to charge into battle.
Fine. You want me to work?
Li Zhiwen goes straight into full theatrical mode:
In public, he acts timid and lazy, crying and whining about wanting to lie flat;
Behind the scenes, he hits hard, wipes out his enemies and their families, and leaves even his allies utterly baffled.
Rebellions? Smuggling? Foreign enemies?
To me, they’re all material for a performance!
Watch as the eighth prince, Li Zhiwen, wields his two-faced acting as a blade and modern business savvy as armor,
lying flat while making money, acting his way into crushing every enemy at court, and rising to power over Great Jing until he’s richer than the nation itself!
