Shen Qingci, a college student, woke up when he stayed up late to study for his thesis, and when he opened his eyes, he was dressed as the prince of Shen Mansion in Dajing, and accidentally entered the East Palace as an errand. He just wanted to lie down and die. His biggest wish was to stay away from the disputes in the court and become an idler who traveled around and ate all kinds of snacks.
But things didn't go as planned, and his "idleness" happened to be noticed by the current prince Xiao Jingyuan. This calm, decisive and powerful prince in the East Palace said, "Sir, you are very smart, and you should help me." He was tied to his side and made a counselor, which cut off all his thoughts of running away.
On the one hand, there is the prince's calm control and indulgence, and on the other hand, there is the time traveler's perseverance to escape. In their daily life in the East Palace, the two are performing one after another easy games of "cat and mouse".
In addition, various characters such as Yunxiu, a courteous official, Lin Wanqing, a drunken lady, and Qin Shuang, a chivalrous girl, appear on the stage. Each has its own thoughts and character, including the warmth of fireworks in the marketplace and the glimmer of light in the darkness of the court.
This is a light and joyful ancient story about a "bad strategist" who was firmly controlled by the prince, but in the chaotic daily life, he gradually became close friends with each other, and finally joined hands to maintain the stability of the court and the fireworks of the world.
