Li Jiangnan, a modern social worker, died suddenly while working all night. When he opened his eyes, he traveled back to the Tang Dynasty in the early years of Zhenguan and became the youngest son of Tang Emperor Li Yuan and the half-brother of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the current Tang Dynasty.
In his previous life, 996, he was involved in infighting until his death. He was busy and had no fun in his life. In this life, he has the noble status of the royal family and enjoys endless glory and wealth. Li Jiangnan made a great wish on the spot: he will never get involved in the intrigues of the court, he will not get involved in the disputes over the throne, he will stay away from the fighting for the imperial power, and he will be an idle prince who just eats and waits for death!
As a king, with a wealthy fiefdom in his hands, he should have been lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman, drinking wine in his hand, raising flowers and walking birds, traveling around mountains and rivers, and living his idle life to the extreme. However, this seemingly Buddhist emperor's younger brother was born under the eyes of Li Shimin, the emperor of all ages. He was in the turbulent Zhenguan court, surrounded by cunning and powerful ministers such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and a group of princes, grandsons, and clan dignitaries with their own agendas.
He doesn't want to manage politics, but he is always approached by trivial matters in the court; he doesn't want to fight for power, but he is often involved in disputes because of his royal status; he has no intention of showing off his talents, but his sporadic modern knowledge can always inadvertently amaze Chang'an and attract the constant attention of his brother Li Shimin.
Faced with the temptations of the emperor's brother, the courtiers' solicitations, the clan's calculations, and the undercurrents of the harem, Li Jiangnan stayed true to his heart and avoided the court disputes while taking care of his little life.
He did not form any party, seek selfish interests, do not seize power, and did not perform meritorious deeds. He only wanted to live a stable life and have peaceful years. However, he unknowingly became the most special being in the Zhenguan period - the emperor relied on him but did not fear him.
