Lin Chen, a top mathematician and physicist driven to the brink by relentless competition, dies suddenly in a laboratory accident. When he opens his eyes, he's become Zhao Heng, the Great Xia dynasty's most miserable good-for-nothing prince, Prince Jing. His mother is long dead, he has no powerful allies, his residence is dilapidated, his stipend has been withheld, the court ignores him, and even the servants dare to slight him! Hounded to his limits by KPIs in his previous life, he decides to slack off and lie flat this time around, swearing to steer clear of cutthroat competition for good.
But his plans to slack off keep getting interrupted. His residence is short on food and clothing, so he casually purifies salt and improves tools, making a fortune. When Prince Qing provokes him and the barbarians invade, his superior tactics let him crush them with ease. He's forcibly sent to a ruined border city, but through infrastructure projects and agricultural development, he turns it into a thriving stronghold. He's also surrounded by an oddball crew, including a cunning strategist and a cool, reserved shadow guard, and their constant mix-ups keep the laughs coming.
No scheming, no pointless rat race, just lighthearted comedy and non-stop thrills! Watch as a lazy prince wins at court with modern knowledge, discovers the true freedom of slacking off, and keeps you hooked from start to finish!
