A sudden car accident sent Li Jin, an unremarkable office worker, into the imperial family of the Great Zhou, where he became the ninth prince at just eight years old.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the reality of his situation: his full brother Li Yan, born of the same mother, had already been Crown Prince for sixteen years, with a deeply entrenched network of allies throughout the court.
Challenge this powerful elder brother for the throne?
Looking at his own eight-year-old body, Li Jin knew better.
The risk of seizing power was too high. Becoming a carefree prince was the ideal outcome.
He had known poverty in his past life, and after transmigrating, he had just one obsession: making money!
Everyone at court mocked the ninth prince, calling him vulgar and greedy, reeking of money and obsessed with hoarding wealth and indulging himself.
Li Jin didn’t care. If you don’t love money or beautiful women, what’s the point of living?
But life is full of surprises.
A sudden upheaval struck the Crown Prince’s Palace, and no one expected this reckless prince, known to the world as a mere lover of money, to be thrust onto the highest throne.
Seated on the throne, looking down at the assembled officials, Li Jin furrowed his brow.
As he gazed at officials even greedier than himself, anger flared in his heart:
The money in the treasury and out there among the people, all the wealth that should belong to the Great Zhou, is my money!
And so the once money-obsessed prince launched a sweeping reform of the dynasty.
Nice to read. Looking forward to updates from the author.
