A modern office worker, Tang Nan, unexpectedly kicks the bucket and transmigrates as the Crown Prince...
There are eighty-nine days left until the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Faced with the most famous deadly trap in history, this soul, tormented by KPIs and deadlines for ten years, doesn’t panic. His first instinct is to open a “project risk assessment.” He plans to review this fatal situation, find every bug, and rebuild it from the ground up.
At court, he deliberately plays weak and gives up military authority, putting Li Shimin in an impossible position.
In secret, he opens a business called “Dian Dian” in Chang’an’s western market. On the surface, it is a luxurious club combining dining, lodging, and finance. In reality, it is the largest intelligence network of its age. Every official’s secret, every exchange of power, every drunken confession becomes data in the ledgers, all flowing into his hands.
He thinks he has the advantage of a more advanced age.
Until one day, he recognizes the same handwriting in a secret letter...
The writer of that letter is secretly feeding information to the Crown Prince, the Prince of Qin, and the Prince of Qi all at once.
He thinks he is the one moving the pieces.
In truth, he has been a piece on the board from the very beginning.
And the real player is watching him from somewhere higher up.
This is the ultimate contest between modern business thinking and a thousand years of political intrigue.
When a soul worn down by projects for half a lifetime meets the most calculating mastermind of the age, who will have the last laugh?
