The moment he opens his eyes, he finds himself in The Ming Dynasty in 1566 as the “winner who gets everything handed to him”: Zhu Zaiji, Prince Yu.
In history, he endured for years and only took the throne after outliving his father. In the TV drama, he trembled in fear of Jiajing every day and couldn't even protect his wife while she gave birth.
But now, the soft touch of Prince Yu's residence has become a hard-core brute.

Are all his opponents seasoned masters of intrigue?
There's Xu Jie, a master of “Tai Chi”; the Yan faction, which treats the Ming as its personal cash machine; and Hai Rui, who's always itching to speak out and die for his principles.

While you practice Tai Chi, I'll flip the table. While you fight over factions, I'll build industry!
Many years later, Jiajing, after spending ten years cultivating immortality in Xiyuan, finally decides to emerge from seclusion and resume playing his imperial power games. But he discovers that the streets outside the palace are already lined with railway tracks, and smoke-belching trains thunder past.
Jiajing roars in fury: “You rebellious son! What have you done to my Ming dynasty?”
Zhu Zaiji, dressed in military uniform, draws his gun and stares straight at the Dragon Throne:
“Father, times have changed. Cultivate immortality in peace. I'll take care of this world for you!”
