When others transmigrate to the Tang Dynasty, they become famous generals or powerful ministers.
Li Chengqian, however, becomes the unlucky crown prince who is about to be deposed in three days!
Former Eastern Palace officials turn on him, court ministers keep impeaching him, and Prince Wei watches like a predator. With just a single word, Emperor Li Shimin can strip him of his position, his wealth, and even his life.
At his moment of utter despair, a leaderboard appears before his eyes, visible only to him: [Tang Dynasty’s Trending Topics Before Its Fall]!
Hou Junji’s secret meeting, Chang’an’s skyrocketing grain prices, an assassination attempt on a Turkic delegation... Every trending topic is a crisis capable of shaking the Tang Dynasty, and his only chance to turn things around.
But this golden finger offers no answers, only clues that may or may not be true.
So the modern office worker who used to take the blame for everyone else starts fighting back in the way he knows best: seal the ledgers, protect the witnesses, check the times, verify who came and went, and trace the chain of profiteering!
When someone uses the Eastern Palace’s insignia to frame him, he follows the false evidence to uncover the mastermind. When grain merchants conspire to hoard supplies, he stakes his position as heir on forcing a thousand shi of grain back into Chang’an!
Again and again, he faces off in battles of wits and survives by the skin of his teeth.
Li Shimin, too, gradually realizes that the disappointing crown prince seems to have suddenly become someone else...
Now that the grain shortage has just been brought under control, a new trending topic has already hit the top of the list: in three days, the Turkic delegation will be attacked in Chang’an, and someone has mysteriously appeared on the reception roster.
This time, who is the assassin really trying to kill?
