A modern-day scoundrel traveled through time and became Lin Mo, the most unpopular seventh prince of the Dajing Dynasty. While others traveled through time and had golden fingers to pick up girls, he was better off and started a "trap"!
He drained the emperor's father's personal money to build river embankments, drained his unjust fifth brother's pocket money to implement the New Deal, wiped out the wealth of ministers from aristocratic families to fill the national treasury, and tricked the king of the enemy country into crying and demanding tribute. Even his own wife, the daughter of the prince, was tricked by him in the beginning.
He is full of ruffianism and specializes in cheating the powerful, but he only cares deeply about the common people: reducing taxes and waiving taxes, developing new technologies, opening up trade routes, and forcibly turning the mess of Dajing into a reality. From a desolate prince who no one wanted, to being tricked into a throne, and finally creating a prosperous age where all nations came to court - this is a cool story about a ruffian emperor who tricked people all over the world, but only protected his people!
