A modern history graduate student finds himself transported to the Kangxi era as Hongshi, the third son of Prince Yong, Yinzhen, right at the heart of the struggle among the nine princes for the throne.
From the start, he is trapped in the prince's mansion: his father dislikes him, his mother has fallen out of favor, his brothers scheme against one another, and his life hangs by a thread.
Knowing how history unfolds, he resolves to defy fate, help Yinzhen seize the throne, and bring the succession struggle to an end.
He plays the pig to eat the tiger, outwits the Eighth Prince's faction, and schemes his way through a treacherous game of power.
With Hongli closing in and the court's fortunes shifting, he learns from history and moves first.
From an overlooked prince with no favor to ruling the realm and ushering in the “Jingxi Era of Good Governance.”
Without a golden finger, he relies only on strategy and patience. After laying his plans for ten years, he becomes a great emperor remembered for ages.
Very beautiful, very beautiful

They're all cleared. If you don't obey, you'll be killed.
