I've Been Lying Low for Twenty Years, Do You Really Think I'm a Useless Prince?

“Third Brother... Is it true that Zhao Yun, your subordinate, has the courage to take on ten thousand men?”

“Elder Brother, your subordinate Xu Chu is also a hero among men, a paragon among soldiers!”

“And His Majesty... With a gifted woman like Shangguan Wan'er at his side, he truly is peerless beneath the heavens. What a blessing for the empire!”

Chu Shimin is an unfortunate transmigrator.

The second son of the former empress, he is now a thorn in the eye of the current empress and, by extension, the emperor.

Poisoned at three, ambushed at five, and pushed into a river at seven, he is now twenty and known by every man, woman, and child in Great Qi as a useless prince.

He cannot cultivate martial arts or study literature, and he is too weak to lift a hand or shoulder a load. He spends all day with a carving knife, doing nothing but woodworking, and is a laughingstock far and wide.

But no one knows that he carries with him the five thousand years of history from his previous life, a history now awakening...

All those famed historical generals have been reincarnated. They are just waiting for him to help unlock the wisdom of their past lives and awaken once more!

Each awakening boosts their martial arts and natural talents.

After twenty years, he has already cultivated to the Second Rank!

His elder brother, the former crown prince, has died under mysterious circumstances?

His mother, the former empress, has been driven to hang herself?

They won the war, and now they want to force his younger sister, a princess, into a political marriage in some godforsaken place?

Then in that case... meet me at Xuanwu Gate!

The Hundred Schools of Thought, the sages of the pre-Qin era, strike down the myriad races!

Carve a bright, clear world from this little realm!
