Qin Chen transmigrates to the third year of the Zhenguan era and becomes the “idiot” nephew of Qin Qiong, Duke of Yi.
He plans to live the carefree life of a wastrel, eating and drinking until he dies. But when his uncle falls gravely ill, he has no choice but to use the medical skills from his past life to perform abdominal surgery and remove a stone, saving his uncle’s life.
After that, Qin Chen wants to get back to enjoying himself: brew some strong liquor to drink, make some soap to wash with, and produce a little ice to cool off.
But Li Shimin won’t let him: “Qin Chen! With skills like yours, can’t you do something useful?!”
Qin Chen looks innocent. “Your Majesty, I am doing something useful. I enjoy myself, the court collects taxes. It’s a win-win.”
The court officials: What a treacherous villain, throwing the court into chaos!
Qin Chen: I’m really not! I just want to enjoy myself!
This is a clichéd story of showing off and getting slapped in the face; it lacks the lighthearted and fun tone the author claims, and is more like a run-of-the-mill pretentious novel using AI as a pretentious tool.
It's not bad, so please don't abandon it.
